I'm not offended and what he said sounds like that to me. I also added a little common sense observation to back that up.

OK, so why is your reaction more significant then in judging whether he was right or wrong to say it?
I thought it was a common sense thing to say...and actually a very good thing to say. The thousands of victims of sex crime and millions of young people affected by the drug trade were my immediate thought, not the feelings of someone upset by what he said.

You might want to figure out what those two are actually talking about.

It isn't a reaction. I'm just analyzing the words and what they mean. The context in which they were said and taking into consideration the audience and the intended effect.

Yes, that is your bias.
I don't have that.

What I am trying to figure out is who gave you, or people who agree with you, the responsibility of defining what Trump actually meant?
I prefer to actually look at the words he used.

I think something differently to you, so I am biased? Ah, now we are getting somewhere near how you think about life.
See above - wondering why your interpretation is any more valid than mine.

That was their tangent.

Yes.

Because I'm actually looking at the words without feeling anything about anyone.
Everyone claims to look at the words he used but, still, people on both sides get it wrong.
No, really, the rapists he is talking about ARE immigrants, specifically the illegal immigrants.

The source he used for his claims wasn't supporting his claims.
I know the rapists he's talking about ARE the immigrants, the illegal immigrants.
His source was saying those immigrants were actually the victims of the rape occurring.

So people who disagree with you are bias and on a 'tangent'? I see.
Quite the dictatorial mind you have there.

No, worldstarcountry had said that the rapists had been the people on the Mexican side of the border. You actually disagree with that but still argued with lucid lunacy about it.
Sorry but that's a perfect example of how your bias keeps you from seeing things clearly.

So? He made a mistake with a number.
Mistake with a number!? What in the hell.
He said the rapists were the immigrants.
His source said the immigrants were the victims.
This mistake isn't a matter of bad math.
