He is trying to appeal to the Clinton voters by showing them he has learned how to play politics like her. No need to deny anything when no proof exists.
Now all he has to do is promise some minority groups some stuff and never deliver and he will be unstoppable in 2020!

Someone from Hispanic heritage but since their skin is lighter the Progressives don't want to identify them with the darker Hispanics.
Technically white Hispanics are likely to have some European Spanish blood mixed in.

Ask nausi, he is big on the racism tag.

Looks like CNN has the racism tag all sewn up.

His·pan·ic
adjective: Hispanic
1. of or relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Latin America.
And from the wiki:
Quote: The term Hispanic (Spanish: hispano or hispánico, Galician: hispánico, Asturian: hispanu, Basque: hispaniar, Catalan: hispà, hispàno) broadly refers to the people, nations, and cultures that have a historical link to Spain. It commonly applies to countries once colonized by the Spanish Empire in the Americas (see Spanish colonization of the Americas) and Asia, particularly the countries of Latin America and the Philippines. It could be argued that the term should apply to all Spanish-speaking cultures or countries, as the historical roots of the word specifically pertain to the Iberian region. It is difficult to label a nation or culture with one term, such as Hispanic, as the ethnicities, customs, traditions, and art forms (music, literature, dress, architecture, cuisine, and others) vary greatly by country and region. The Spanish language and Spanish culture are the main traditions.
Hispanic originally referred to the people of ancient Roman Hispania, which roughly comprised the Iberian Peninsula, including the contemporary states of Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.

Isn't the line of complaint that white republican males are now a minority? If so, mission already accomplished.

At least Trump is not denying anymore Russia's involvement.

I don't think you understood the obvious sarcastic/cynicism of my post.

If you read the last census report white males will be a minority fairly soon actually...

Hey just curious, we're liberals expecting a ceremony where the two presidents were gonna exchange some big novelty check like they do when someone wins the lottery?
As if thats the only way one could "pay" for something.

As if people are going to watch.
Hopefully you weren't expecting the kind of lavish musical performances like we had in 2009.

Which part? There are about a bajillion events associated with an inauguration. If you're referring to the main event, I don't think we're going to miss not having Yo-Yo Ma.

Okay, you may have a point. More entertainers are Democrats. On the bright side, this inauguration won't be followed by four years of Obama, so I'll try to not shed a tear about the lack of Beyonce.

I just worry about the "make America a manufacturing giant" again stuff.
I mean, I'm on board with it in theory.
I'm glad you're on board.

I'm sure Trumps election had nothing to do with this decision. One things for sure Michigan is already making out well for turning red and Ohio isn't doing bad either.
Trump is fulfilling campaign promises and he isn't even sworn in yet.

What, is asking for giant novelty checks a weird request or something?
I guess that would explain the dirty looks I keep getting at the bank.

Quote: Consumers worldwide have gravitated toward SUVs and trucks while turning away from passenger cars. Last year in the U.S., car sales fell 7 percent while truck and SUV sales rose 8 percent. Another case of factories responding to consumer demand. Unless Trump has been influencing preferences in car size then I don't see what this has to do with him.

"Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him..groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!"
Donald kiss me *** Trump !

He handles criticism so well.

No he is responding to criticism...big difference.

Maybe his goal is to unite the country against him.
Well, if CNN/NBC/MSNBC/CBS/ABC couldn't do it, I'm sure it's going to take a lot more than picking a fight with Meryl Streep to finish the job.
