Because of the 47% who won't vote for him, he has to go after the votes that will and that vote is the one bigoted against that 47%. So all these dumb things we think he is saying is playing to his base and pushing their buttons. He probably knows the corruption in our election system will also not only deliver votes to him but suppress votes that would have been against him, again from that 47%. This guy lives by the spreadsheet with the graphs and polling numbers telling him how he is going to win. We can't take this tactic lightly.
