    What Trump said today is ugly, but is it qualitatively worse than remarks about Mexican rapists he started campaign on?

        I think it is, but I don’t think I’d be willing to argue about it with someone who disagreed. @HeerJeet

        @HeerJeet it's worse in the sense that the campaign is still somehow happening. Otherwise, variations on a theme.

        What Donald Trump is has been clear for a long time. Let's not pretend we've had any revelations.

        @HeerJeet Well let's see. The citizens of one country maligned. The billions of one religion demonized? Hmmm ...

        @KStreetHipster @HeerJeet the difference is the calendar and the fact that Trump could very well win GOP nomination

        @HeerJeet At least he was nominally referring to "illegal immigrants" before.

        @HeerJeet It's quantitatively worse though.

        @HeerJeet Only insofar as he's turned on muslim-americans too. Telling 1 group of citizens to kick out a whole other group has bad precedent
