Latinos hate Trump so much they turned him into a piñata. And you know what they do to piñatas, right?
Once you let that racism genie out of the box, kinda hard to stuff him back in, isn't it?
There's Donald Trump, rocketing to the top of GOP primary polling on the strength of unabashed and full-throated racism. That's some ugly ass genie! Now, Republicans are trying to stuff him back into his bottle:
The large field of Republican presidential hopefuls jockeying to make the cut for the first 2016 debate will have to file a public disclosure of their personal finances on time to participate.
That means every candidate who declared before July 6 — a group of 14 contenders including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and real estate magnate Donald Trump — will have to reveal information about their assets and debts to get into the Aug. 6 event in Cleveland.
The assumption was that Trump would ask for extensions, which could stretch out to 120 days—long enough for Trump to parade his ego around town then drop out before the final deadline. So the GOP likely hoped that requiring these forms to be filed in time for the first August debate would weed out Trump.
But no dice. His poll numbers have clearly boosted Trump's self-esteem and he's now talking confidently about sticking around for the long haul. Oh, and he'll file his disclosures before the first debate. That genie ain't going nowhere. And any damage he does isn't because he's crazy, but because he overtly expresses the GOP's crazy.
Then there's the Confederate flag craziness in the House today. The supposed "Party of Lincoln" sure is fighting hard for the traitor flag! They ain't stuffing that genie back into its bottle anytime soon.
