I get it all politicians lie, but damn Trump never gets called out on his own words.

Trump has spoken about Duke in the past. The New York Times quoted Trump in February 2000 as saying, "So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.'' Trump was a member of the Reform Party in 1999; he was referring to Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani in addition to Duke.

I expect that like all other threads embarrassing to Trump, this one will soon come to an end or disappear.

How can Trump control who supports him? Does Trump have exactly the same beliefs that his every supporter has? It would be impossible. He doesn't support the KKK or agree with their philosophy but why would anyone in their right mind want to alienate voters at this point? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

That was a "gotcha" question and all the Trump bashers have jumped on it and repeated it ad nauseum. Hope you all got it out of your system by now. 32 pages of repeating the same comments has gotten very old.

And yet Mr. Trump eventually capitulated and disavowed David Duke. Why not do so immediately? Especially when his daughter, son-in-law and the two grandkids are Jewish?

Now he's blaming not hearing the question clearly. Bad ear piece. What a crop of ****, cop-out excuse.

And, tomorrow is Super Tuesday and we'll see how many people were willing to let our country continue down the path of destruction to 3rd world status because Trump didn't denounce an endorsement. Seriously, there is a real priorities issue here.

of course, he has spoken against the klan, but how have we become such a politically correct nation that people get excited about endorsements?

we are still a FREE country, where anybody can support anyone they wish, and I applaud that.

the media tries to turn everybody against each other, and sometimes succeeds--but UNITED WE STAND.

we need to say focused on issues, not personality.

I WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP! That fence will be built, immigration costs will be curtailed, offshoring will be repatriated, and jobs will grow in America. Oh, and political correctness will no longer be fashionable and freedom will triumph.

Denounce fast and often that KKK and anyone associated with it has no role in our society.

Yes indeed.
  • Trump plays idiot CNN talking head. Doesn't answer question already answered.
  • Talking head and others have a s---storm on social media
  • Other MSM outtlets pick it up, try to make out like Trump supports KKK
  • Trump Deranged clinically outraged, go wild on social media.
Result
  • Nobody talking about little Marco and his conversion to mean mode.
  • Nobody talking about Hillary's big win in SC
  • Nobody talking about Bernie Sanders
  • Nobody talking about Ted Cruz
  • Everyone talking about Donald Trump
  • Trump continues to rise in polls.
This formula has been repeated endlessly since last summer to great effect for Trump. Got to give Trump credit for playing his detractors like a fiddle.
