"Screaming at the top of his lungs...A maniac."
-- Donald Trump on Univision host Jorge Ramos

"Dividing the country by race...is what...Jorge Ramos was all about in that press conference."
-- Fox analyst Jeffrey Lord

"[Ramos] acted like an illegal alien, and got treated like one. He cut the line, was disruptive and then was deported, and then Trump let him back in."
-- Fox News' Jesse Watters

"Get out of my country. Get out."
-- Trump supporter to Ramos, who is a U.S. citizen

BTW, Jorge Ramos is a naturalized American citizen. To the best of my knowledge there's no provision in the Constitution of the USA that you have to lose your accent if you become a citizen. Hell, that in and of itself would disqualify Trump.

So Ramos has been trying to get an interview with Trump because of the inflammatory things that Trump has been saying about Latinos. Ramos sent him a hand-written note. Trump has consistently ignored him. So when Ramos gets a little loud at a press conference, Trump has him thrown out. And further reinforcing his image as a class act, just like Lindsey Graham, Trump posted a picture of Jorge's private phone number.

Yep, class all around.

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame has been publishing a series of posts about Trump's use of neurolinguistic programming to sway people to back him based on sizzle, not steak. It's quite interesting, and quite frightening, to see what he is doing and seeing how successful he is at it. There's no way he'll get the Republican ticket nomination, the question is how disruptive he'll be for the rest of the election cycle.

And since we have 14 months to go, that's lots of time to see how disruptive he'll be.
