Where? Repeating a falsehood over and over, doesn't make it true.

My goodness. I'm sure you think you're deflection is debunking as well.

Way to entirely ignore his racism.

I would say, stop looking at meaningless polls.
The man is extremely popular where ever he goes.

Bob.
That doesn't mean people want him to be President. Justin Bieber gets even more people than Trump does but absolutely no one is saying Bieber would be a good President.

I think they go to trump rallies for the same reason people slow down and rubber neck past car wrecks or watch reality tv shows. Not oall of them, as I'm sure there are actually some die-hard trump followers in the audience. After all, they take off work (they do have jobs, right? no welfare hooors in the trump camp, right?) to stand in line for hours to get in to the rallies. Some may be like the 'dead heads' that followed the Grateful Dead from one concert to another. Some are curious, some are looking for a fight to break out. Some are just there for the entertainment value and hope they see themselves on the replay later.

Trump's numbers are just.

First, Trump. Marvel at these findings: Trump is viewed unfavorably by 67 percent of Americans overall; 75 percent of women; 74 percent of young voters; 91 percent of African Americans; 81 percent of Latinos; 73 percent of college-educated whites; 66 percent of white women; and 72 percent of moderates.

Could Trump win somehow by running up a huge margin among white voters — particularly blue collar whites and white men? Well, Trump is viewed unfavorably by 59 percent of whites overall, and he is even viewed unfavorably by majorities of non-college whites (52 percent) and white men (51 percent). And Trump’s awful numbers among college educated whites and white women (detailed above) make the run-up-the-white-vote strategy look still more far fetched.

Trump's numbers are absolutely atrocious.
So were Reagan's.

And he won.

Is that what they teach in the former CSA? You are the quintessential Trump supporter, and that's not a compliment.
I've never even been in the South.

But unlike you, I can think for myself.

No, I was comparing Trump winning with a plurality and not a majority of votes to Clinton winning with a plurality and not a majority of votes.

It doesn't matter that one would win the nomination while the other would win the presidency.

Here's a suggestion for you. No doubt there is a community college somewhere near where you live. No doubt it has some courses in philosophy. No doubt there is such a course entitled "Logic and Critical Thinking," or "Informal Logic."

I suggest that you take that course.

Reince Preibus on CNN yesterday point blank said that the majority rule cannot be changes by the convention committee that that comes down from the party and those rules were locked into place back on October 1st.
The rules committee can change any rule they like before the convention.

But no matter. If the Republican Party wants to commit suicide, I say "go ahead."

It has been a useless fraud for the last thirty years.

Last time I looked, it was published on his website.

With how much he flip flops and lies I have a hard time taking any stance not in writing seriously.
So has he decided not to build wall, not to renegotiate trade deals, not to increase taxes on the very wealthy who pay no taxes now, not to save Social Security and Medicare, not to refuse big campaign contributions from special interests?

Just what has he "flip flopped" on since he announced his candidacy last June?

Quote:
Trump had stances on six topics. Most presidential candidates have 3-4 times that much.
So give me the details on their stances.

Quote:
I'm not voting for Hillary or Cruz so I guess you can keep asking Democrats.
In other words, you're not going to back up your claims.

Quote:
I'm an independent. I also think Trump is the biggest liar and attention ***** to ever run for president.
So tell me about his lies.

Statistically speaking Trump is taking the cake for the most lies this election cycle.
Please list all of his lies.

I'm waiting with bated breath.

It's ok to be a hateful tool and run for president.
So tell us what Trump has said that is racist.

Is saying that illegal immigrants who commit crimes are a problem racist?

Is saying that letting unvetted Muslims into this country is a bad idea racist?

Exactly.

Indeed.

Did he lose those cases?

Was he the one personally responsible?

Quote:
Or his comments about Native Americans in Connecticut who were uncooperative in wanting to let him build a casino never happened as well? Something along the lines of "they don't even look like Indians" and calling them "so called Indians".
Sorry, but there ARE a lot of self-proclaimed Indians who look like me.

And I look like I'm from Sweden.

Quote:
He's defended violence against an African American and Latino at his rallies.
That's because they invaded his rallies and tried to disrupt them.

They had it coming, and it had nothing to do with their race.

By the way, "Latino" is not a race.

Quote:
His continual accusations that Mexicans and other immigrants are rapists.
He never said that, and you know it.

He was talking about illegal aliens who commit crimes, not Mexicans as a whole.

Quote:
Or that time he took out full page ads calling for severe punishment of men guilty of raping a woman in Central Park. The men accused were all African American, even after they were exonerated due to DNA evidence he continued to believe they were guilty.
B.S. -- make things up much?

How is that different from anyone else that runs for public office?

You are incorrect in regards to the assertion that it is B.S. that trump took out a full page ad...

Donald Trump and the Central Park Five - The New Yorker

from the link
"in early May, 1989, Donald Trump took out a full-page ad in the Daily News to say what he thought he knew about the case....And his headline suggested what ought to be done with them:
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.
BRING BACK OUR POLICE!"




It just took a quick google search to come up with the information. Uninformed much?

I asked you to provide a quote that proves he is a racist. It's a simple question but one you can't answer. You accuse him of being a racist, so it's your burden to prove.

And might I ask, who is it that you support? Do you hold them to the same "test"?

Here Are 9 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist

Thank you! I don't expect any of the trump followers to respond to your post, tho. They ignore anything that has facts that disagree with their perception of how things are supposed to be in their universe.
