Reince Preibus Talks Trump Taco Bowl, Minority Outreach "He's trying"

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/priebus-talks-trump-minority-outreach

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus says he didn't see that Cinco De Mayo tweet of Donald Trump digging in to a taco bowl, but he says that at least Trump is "trying" to make inroads with the Latino community.

"He's trying," Priebus said as the audience erupted into laughter at the Politico Playbook breakfast Friday morning. "He's trying and I'll tell you what I honestly think he understands that building and unifying and growing the party is the only way we are going to win."

So if he eats matzo ball soup, he's trying with the Jews.

And if he has a Guiness, he's trying with the Irish.

And if he has barbecue, he's trying with the blacks.

And if he has General Tso's chicken, he's trying with the Asians. Despite the fact that a) General Tso's chicken is an American invention and b) Asia is more than China.

What a vile excuse for a human being, and it is disgusting to see those who despise him fall in line behind him.

Donny "the taco" Trump. Or Donny "Taco Wall" Trump.

Or, like The Jackal, he can be called The Taco.

Did he not realize he wouldn't be just the president of Republican voters? He can't walk back all the shit he's already said about women and minorities, that stuff came from within and he's been saying that same things for years. It's who he is, he can't change.

The Republicans have circled back on themselves. They used to be against participant ribbons or trophies handed out to all the kids at the jamboree: "Hey, my kid won the championship, but since everyone else got a trophy, he doesn't feel as superior to the other kids as he should." Now, their presidential candidate is a total racist knob, but hey, "He's trying!" Whaddya want, a cookie?

If they were democrats, they need to fix the problems created by republicans in a day, otherwise how dare democrats take office.
