Possibly.

âDonât talk to people the way you wouldnât talk to your family,â Madrid responded.
Trump: What is wrong with her? This is how I behave and treat each of my wives, sons etc and I am a Billionaire. She doesnt know what a true Republican is. Probably because she is of The Bleeding Type genre.

I truly wonder why anyone of Hispanic origin (or any other minority, for that matter) associates themselves with the Republican party in any way.
I would gently remind Mr. Madrid that what heâs seeing now is exactly what the Republican party has been all along - why on earth would he want to be part of that?

On the one hand, the candidates were demographically diverse.
On the other, Trump was leading the nomination with a dog whistle message.

If there were still phone booths, Madrid could have asked people to step inside with him for that chat.

I saw a Real, Live Phone Booth with a Genuine Pay Phone⢠in it in the most unlikely & deserted area last week.

An old fashioned phone booth, in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected.
Excellent metaphor for the Rethugs.

It was on the main âroadâ outside of Cazadero, which is quite near Bohemian GroveâŚwhich is where Republicans used to thunder proudly.
Now they pretend it doesnât exist, since Alex Jones and the rest of the Konspiracy Kooks started alerting proud patriotic teaparty MURKANS to the dangers of the Trilateral-Bilderberg-BohemianGrove-NWO-Rockefeller axis.
Iâm not sure exactly how it all fits together, but Mr. Jones has assured me it does â and the GOP RINOS are involved.

When most of your movement sees the world through the lens of victimhood, how is this going to make an impact? I mean, the classic Republican retort to people being offended is that the offended is really to blame. In that world, why do speakers need to filter anything?

Nothing âdog whistleâ in Drumpf. He is well within human hearing range and loud as a megaphone.

âWe make it so easy for them to make villains out of us,â
Yep, just like itâs easy to call armed robbers âcriminals,â because thatâs what they are.
âI am just going to say donât say bad things. Donât offend people.â
Well the current leader of your movement is calling that âpolitical correctnessâ and counseling that offending people is a patriotic duty.

Dear Abby, Dear Abby
My feet are too long
My hairâs falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends they all tell me that Iâve no friends at all
Wonât you write me a letter, wonât you give me a call?
Signed, Bewildered
Bewildered, Bewildered
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ainât what you ainât
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Itâs called POLITICAL CORRECTION and it is kryptonite to conservatives.
TPM:
âThis is a tipping point year for the party,â Madrid said. âThe damage could be at least a generation, possibly longer.â
Hey, anyone remember when California used to vote reliably Republican? Looks like Madrid is trying to warn them that Trump is about to do to the GOP nationally what Pete Wilson did to them in California with <a href=1994 California Proposition 187 - Wikipedia">Prop 187.
Theyâll all end up singing:âCalifornia, I didnât think youâd end up treating me so badâ.

Was there any cell coverage out there? If not, thatâs probably why the pay phone, and itâs formerly ubiquitous booth, havenât been decommisioned yet.
