Why i think Trump did not answer directly, though he did ,, on Friday he said "ok i disovow them"

Trump is not going to be forced into a corner to give in to the demands of people. He wants to answer questions on his own time, his own choice. If he does, he sets a precedent, where all the other worse flood of questions will be thrown at him and they will say "oh why did he not answer that one? so he must be a supporter of it"..

I look at it like he is carefully make a choice not to answer just because someone is forcing him to.

I care a helluva a lot that Trump didn't disavow David Duke. What the hell has this country come to if a presidential frontrunner wouldn't disavow anything to do with a white hate group or one of its members. Absolutely despicable.

Castro supported Obama, Chavez supported Obama, Communist Party USA supported Obama, and now we know Ayatollahs must have supported him. What does Obama have in common with them? Why only Trump has to answer for every unsolicited endorsement he receives?

Trump gets the Putin and the French fascist endorsements.

Jean-Marie Le Pen endorses Donald Trump - CNNPolitics.com

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder and former leader of France's National Front party, said Saturday on Twitter that he would support Trump if he were an American.

Putin praises 'bright and talented' Donald Trump - CNNPolitics.com

"He is a bright and talented person without any doubt," Putin said, adding that Trump is "an outstanding and talented personality... He is the absolute leader of the presidential race,"

"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said

Trump has NEVER met Duke and they have NO relation....this is GOP establishment dirty tricks.
I bet Duke, and company, has been on the Bush/Walker payroll for years since B/W are tied at the hip with Hitler and his regime.

On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.... all of whom were represented by the same lawyers.

One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.
Which happened some 18 years or so before Donald was born.
Fred was the only one of those who were arrested to be released without charges. The article even stated "It's not clear from the context what role Fred Trump played in the brawl.". Could he have been in that parade? Who knows. Could he have been a parade watching bystander who got caught up in the brawl and the arrest sweep? Who knows.

Without positive proof it is only a guess and a guess is a non-issue.
