Hey, Democrats aren't that smart


While Donald Trump’s comments on undocumented immigrants and surging poll numbers in his bid for the presidency have some in the Republican Party concerned, one congressman thinks Trump may actually be a phantom candidate planted by Democrats.

Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) shared his theory with Spanish-language media last week, according to the Miami Herald. During one radio interview, Curbelo said Trump could be “a phantom candidate recruited by the left to create this entire political circus.”

Now, how scared are they really when they start to say things like that?

... have to lift a finger to make Republicans look ridiculous?

They have been doing it on their own for decades, and hardly need an outsider's help.

It is an attempt to discredit Trump, because he can singlehandedly give the Hispanic vote to the Democratic Party nominee.
