The bigger problem by far is that that flaw is not necessarily innate, it is cultivated. Stupid people are, obviously, much easier to control. Some people claim that dems give all that "free" pomegranate away as a method of buying off votes but I think it goes down to an even more fundamental level; people that don't have to work for anything are more likely to be lazy, people that are lazy are more likely to allow their mental (and physical but not relevant to this) capacities to slip, and people that allow their mental capacities to slip...well, that loops into "making irrational decisions based more on emotions than fact or logic", as you said.
People can go on about elaborate schemes and conspiracies all day long, but occam's razor generally holds true; the best made plans are simple. There's no need to try and buy off votes and risk potential scandal when you can just make everyone stupid and appeal to them with flat lies that they no longer have the mental capacity to be suspicious of, or if they are suspicious of it, they don't truly understand why so they ignore it.

To be fair, there are LOTS of polls, and the majority of them are wrong much more often than they are right. I think it isn't going to work out like that, the dems are already fast tracking illegals into getting their full citizenship so that by the general election millions more will (theoretically at least, and I feel that their theory is going to be correct) vote against Trump. It's a scumbag move but then, what do you expect from them?

Polls are incredibly inaccurate predictors and the media is the only group stupid enough to use them in this way. I bet we could even find a poll showing the Green Party is going to win.

Welcome to the future of the USA! Where legal mexican citizens are beaten up and urinated on by the freedom nation.
You see, we are into kinky stuff, that's why 55% of Latino voters prefer Trump over any other candidate!

I know it's hard not to, but don't conflate the actions of individuals to being somehow inspired or encouraged by someone else - it was still their decision entirely.

you forgot a very important part:
Quote:Scott Leader was sentenced to three years in prison and Steve Leader was sentenced to 1-1/2 years, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. The pair will also be on probation for three years after their prison sentences end.
this isn't condoned.

Oh yes. Because a story or event no longer matters after 271 days. No wonder I see an increaing amount of people in the USA pretending the European tragedy event never happened.
I was mostly answering your ridiculous poll. Trump keeps saying outrageous things about what he will do to my country, and you Trump supporters love to tell us that Latinos actually love him.
[MENTION=7678]ShinkuDragon[/MENTION]; Under Obama it isn't.
[MENTION=18]Justin[/MENTION]; Things are getting to a ridiculous point, and nothing but american indifference is shown. Forgive me for my generalization.

Honestly I don't even see how that is in any way relevant at all. Maybe I am in a rare part of the country, but all the Mexicans here I talk to think Trump is an okay guy. Of course they aren't socialists so maybe that explains it???

ShinkuDragon; Under Obama it isn't.
Justin; Things are getting to a ridiculous point, and nothing but american indifference is shown. Forgive me for my generalization.
Trumps only threat is to build a wall and make mexico pay for it since they have no methods of regulation. It's irrational to blame one persons opinion and people reacting violently because of it. Like unless Trump specifically states "KILL ALL MEXICANS", which he will never because he's not against mexicans, he's against illegal immigration, then yeah it's a problem.
Also you'd literally be changing our constitution to make it that assault against mexicans would be legal, well, bill of rights rather. You're overreacting, doesn't get more simple than that. And no I'm not voting for him, so don't try to throw that in my face

Citation needed. Anecdotal evidence is meaningless. Also, your Godwin's Law is showing.

Again... citation needed. Saying he will build a wall and make the Mexicans pay for it is outrageous, yes, but what else is there that he has without a doubt said, wherein he will cross into MEXICAN TERRITORY, and assert onto your people? Or hell, even here in America? You're starting to sound like a certain russian in which you somehow believe that blatant discrimination and hate crimes against a race, sex, whatever buzz word is wont to be thrown out there will be encouraged, tolerated, and allowed by the American People. You are delusional.

Under any American leader it isn't.

What American indifference? You think because one Mexican woman got beat by two white guys the entire country should be thrown into an uproar of revolution and demand for retribution or something? People are robbed, beaten, kidnapped, raped, murdered daily, from literally all walks of life, and you think that because it was a Mexican this one particular time it should warrant special attention? Yes, it's horrible it happened, but that is what the law is there for. These people will be arrested, prosecuted, and hopefully charged for their actions, assuming they actually did what they are being accused of. The judicial system has its flaws, absolutely, but it's the best we've got. We do not need a pineappleing riot every time a crime is x race on x race.
I am also not voting for Trump, so do not try and say I'm some sort of blind supporter.
