Republicans Fear Donald Trump Is Hardening Party’s Tone on Race

Republicans are growing increasingly concerned thatDonald J. Trump’s inflammatory language is damaging the party, fearing that his remarks are hardening the tone of other candidates on racial issues in ways that could repel the voters they need to take back the White House.

Some party leaders worry that the favorable response Mr. Trump has received from the Republican electorate is luring other candidates to adopt or echo his remarks. It is a pattern, they say, that could tarnish the party’s image among minority voters.

Trump Is Right on Economics

So Jeb Bush is finally going after Donald Trump. Over the past couple of weeks the man who was supposed to be the front-runner has made a series of attacks on the man who is. Strange to say, however, Mr. Bush hasn’t focused on what’s truly vicious and absurd — viciously absurd? — about Mr. Trump’s platform, his implicit racism and his insistence that he would somehow round up 11 million undo ented immigrants and remove them from our soil.

Instead, Mr. Bush has chosen to attack Mr. Trump as a false conservative, a proposition that is supposedly demonstrated by his deviations from current Republican economic orthodoxy: his willingness to raise taxes on the rich, his positive words about universal health care. And that tells you a lot about the dire state of the G.O.P.

For the issues the Bush campaign is using to attack its unexpected nemesis are precisely the issues on which Mr. Trump happens to be right, and the Republican establishment has been proved utterly wrong.

To see what I mean, consider what was at stake in the last presidential election, and how things turned out after Mitt Romney lost.

During the campaign, Mr. Romney accused President Obama of favoring redistribution of income from the rich to the poor, and the truth is that Mr. Obama’s re-election did mean a significant move in that direction. Taxes on the top 1 percent went up substantially in 2013, both because some of the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire and because new taxes associated with Obamacare kicked in. And Obamacare itself, which provides a lot of aid to lower-income families, went into full effect at the beginning of 2014.

Conservatives were very clear about what would happen as a result. Raising taxes on “job creators,” they insisted, would destroy incentives.

And they were absolutely certain that the Affordable Care Act would be a “job killer.”

So what actually happened? As of last month, the U.S. unemployment rate, which was 7.8 percent when Mr. Obama took office, had fallen to 5.1 percent. For the record, Mr. Romney promised during the campaign that he would get unemployment down to 6 percent by the end of 2016. Also for the record, the current unemployment rate is lower than it ever got under Ronald Reagan. And the main reason unemployment has fallen so much is job growth in the private sector, which has added more than seven million workers since the end of 2012.

I’m not saying that everything is great in the U.S. economy, because it isn’t. There’s good reason to believe that we’re still a substantial distance from full employment, and while the number of jobs has grown a lot, wages haven’t. But the economy has nonetheless done far better than should have been possible if conservative orthodoxy had any truth to it. And now Mr. Trump is being accused of heresy for not accepting that failed orthodoxy?


So am I saying that Mr. Trump is better and more serious than he’s given credit for being? Not at all — he is exactly the ignorant blowhard he seems to be. It’s when it comes to his rivals that appearances can be deceiving. Some of them may come across as reasonable and thoughtful, but in reality they are anything but.

Mr. Bush, in particular, may pose as a reasonable, thoughtful type — credulous reporters even describe him as a policy wonk — but his actual economic platform, which relies on the magic of tax cuts to deliver a doubling of America’s growth rate, is pure supply-side voodoo.

And here’s what’s interesting: all indications are that Mr. Bush’s attacks on Mr. Trump are falling flat, because the Republican base doesn’t actually share the Republican establishment’s economic delusions.

The thing is, we didn’t really know that until Mr. Trump came along.

The influence of big-money donors meant that nobody could make a serious play for the G.O.P. nomination without pledging allegiance to supply-side doctrine, and this allowed the establishment to imagine that ordinary voters shared its antipopulist creed.

Indeed, Mr. Bush’s hapless attempt at a takedown suggests that his political team still doesn’t get it, and thinks that pointing out The Donald’s heresies will be enough to doom his campaign.

But Mr. Trump, who is self-financing, didn’t need to genuflect to the big money, and it turns out that the base doesn’t mind his heresies. This is a real revelation, which may have a lasting impact on our politics.

Again, I’m not making a case for Mr. Trump. There are lots of other politicians out there who also refuse to buy into right-wing economic nonsense, but who do so without proposing to scour the countryside in search of immigrants to deport, or to rip up our international economic agreements and start a trade war. The point, however, is that none of these reasonable politicians is seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.... "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a of a lot more abstract than "******, ******."

Again, Nixon's Southern Strategy simply formalized what the Repugs had been faintly dog whistling for 20+ years, including revolting against Dem Truman's civil rights talk and his integration of the military. To be a southern racist Democrat was to be against the northern anti-racist, Repug party of abolitionist Lincoln.

"The States' Rights Democratic Party (usually called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived segregationist political party in the United States in 1948. It originated as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party in 1948, determined to protect what they portrayed as the southern way of life beset by an oppressive federal government,^[1] and supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states. The States' Rights Democratic Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy in the face of possible federal intervention. Members were called Dixiecrats. (The term Dixiecrat is aportmanteau of Dixie, referring to the Southern United States, and Democrat.)"

Dixiecrats were racists but above all were racists and BREAKAWAYS from the Democratic party, 65+ years ago. Any racist Dixiecrats today would obviously be racist Repugs.

What's behind Republican voters' support of Trump? Anger at Republicans

After years of raging against President Obama, unhappy conservatives have a new target for their anger and disgust: the Republicans in Congress.The GOP seized control of the House in 2010 and four years later took the Senate. Yet even with those majorities, Republican lawmakers have failed to achieve such conservative priorities as rolling

back Obamacare, their derisive name for the national healthcare law, or

cracking down harder on illegal immigration.

The controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline is no closer to being built

– indeed, it may soon be dead –

tough antiabortion legislation

has languished in the Senate, and a fiercely

disputed nuclear deal with Iran seems virtually certain to take effect

, despite near-unanimous opposition from Republicans in Congress.

In short, as many see it, the promise of the 2010 tea party movement and its 2014 echo have been dashed on the marble steps of the Capitol.

“People feel betrayed,” said Greg Mueller, a longtime conservative activist and campaign strategist.

“They feel like they keep working and fighting to elect Republicans to get us back to a limited government approach to life, and all they get is more spending, more taxes and people who are afraid to fight liberal Democrats.”

A big beneficiary of that frustration has been Donald Trump.

"Look at that face!" he cries.

"Would anyone vote for that?

Donald Trump has a new target for the "low energy" brand of insult he's been hurling at rival Jeb Bush: House Speaker John Boehner.

"He's been very disappointing in terms of his vigor and in terms of stopping Obamacare, and certainly in terms of even this," Trump said, referring to the Iran nuclear deal that brought Trump to the Capitol for a Tea Party rally Wednesday.

Papa Fred was KKK member, brawler?

Surprise! Donald Trump's Father Was Probably in the Ku Klux Klan


According to a 1927 New York Times article, it seems that the father of billionaire Republican presidential candidate and professional bile-spewer Donald Trump may have had ties to the Ku Klux Klan.

The Times piece, sub led “Klan Assails Policemen” and recently unearthed byBoing Boing, identifies a man named Fred Trump as among those arrested for participating in a brawl between the cops and the Klan.

As Talking Points Memo notes, the Queens borough address listed for the arrested man, “172-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica,” matches the known lifelong residence of the real estate mogul’s father.

Donald Trump: Embracing Contradiction, Not Thinking Too Much

"I can tell you that this is a family deeply steeped in the idea that you do whatever it takes to win.

I don't think it matters to him that much – liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat.

All of the negative things he's said about one or another group, I'm not sure how much those things mean to him.

What he is really, really good at is listening to his audience.

And his audience for this presidential run is this angry, middle American, disenfranchised, seething mass of people who feel like they've been ripped off, they haven't got what they deserved, they haven't gotten the prestige, and the respect, that they think they deserve, and somebody's to blame – some group is to blame.

To appeal to that group of people, he's been very shrewd about going after all manner of other targets, and I think that's the calculus – not whether to be a Republican or a Democrat."
