It's the Hispanics' fault. It's the Muslims' fault. It's the Black man in the White House's fault. And he's tapped into that vein of these people and has them worked into a frenzy.

Kind of ironic that his appeal comes from finding someone else to blame. What happened to the Republican mantra of "pulling yourselves up?"
