Some politicians gain success by appealing to peoples best instincts some politicians by playing to their worst. Some commentators see this latest utterance as a deliberate act at the start of his presidential re-election campaign to portray the democratic party as the party solely representing the interests of racial minority groups such as hispanics and blacks while " us poor white folks" don't get a look in. Its inherent in the negative political campaigning that is currently in the ascendancy all over the world amplified by social media which lends itself to this approach. This involves getting the electorate to vote against your opposition rather than vote for you. Its a powerfull political device because draws the electorate's attention away from your own personal deficiencies or lack of coherent policies.
