The media is really working hand in hand with the political class. Republicans made Trump promise his loyalty to the R party. Now that it looks like he may pull it off Trump is not getting the same loyalty.
I'm fully aware of what Trump did back in 2000, which makes the interview with Tapper so funny.

Let me know when Rev. "Write"''s acts even rival those of the KKK.

I'm not sure what Rev. "Write" and the Catholic Church have to do with this thread, either.

Also, the fact that adults still do not know the difference between prejudice, bigotry and racism is pretty telling.

It's part of the reason why this election is the greatest reality TV show of all time.



What....
What exactly is "the black vote?" There ARE black people supporting Trump. Let's stop talking about black people like they are cattle shall we. They aren't voting herd style.

"a new poll, which still has Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians.

Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites.

Trump dominated, too, among the religious categories, getting 40 percent support from Protestants, 30 percent from Catholics, 40 percent of Jews and more. Trump also dominated among the age groups as well as across all geographic regions in the country

The results are from a new WND/Clout poll by Clout Research, a national opinion research firm in Columbus, Ohio.

Not a lot of diversity in the republican vote but Trumps speaks to anyone of any color that wants jobs to come back in this country, fair trade, legal residence, and humanly treated and paid workers overseas. People are people, and we all need to eat, and have a roof over our heads. Some people don't want special programs, they just want jobs.

We will see in the end just how many people supported him. Let the chips fall .....

I have not read all 400+ comments. That said last week in Texas at a press conference someone mentioned Duke. Trump replied "disavow or I disavow" and moved on to the next question. So he did disavow days before the Sunday show. They need to keep video copies of all their events so they can go back and locate the clips.

This post is just...wow. And your link is from WND? Okay.

Anyways, the "black vote" is the majority of votes, that as of now, the Democrats get. There have been more than a handful of threads recently on P&OC regarding blacks and how they vote, including this one. Why do a majority of blacks vote Dem? ....Hence why I made the comment in the post you quoted.

And I don' think J. Trump is racist, just good at pandering to certain audiences.

Yet you rail on & on about Trump who disavowed David Duke.

It's partisan hypocrisy at it's finest. One standard for Trump, different standard for Hillary.

This stinks.
The party members like Sasse didn't take the pledge. Neither did Haley. Neither did Norm Coleman or Tim Pawlenty. Guess Mr Negotiator - the guy who said he's rake China over the coals - forgot to get them to agree w/ a pledge.




Norm Coleman, Tim Pawlenty give takes on Trump - StarTribune.com

The Black vote is irrelevant to Trump's supporters. They absolutely don't care. The vast majority of Blacks in the USA live in states that will end up Red in the electoral college. If Blacks want to vote for someone who takes money from profiteers that make money from locking up Blacks, that is their concern.

The Key to winning the election is gaining a majority of the White vote.

Oh.



Pure PR move, I suppose.

Yes he did, very forcefully:
Quote:
After days of a strained separation, Barack Obama delivered divorce papers today to Jeremiah Wright – denouncing his former pastor’s appearance Monday as “a performance” that shocked and angered him.
....
“The person I saw yesterday was not the person I’d come to know over 20 years,” Obama told reporters. He called the pastor’s appearance at the National Press Club “a bunch of rants that weren’t grounded in truth.”
