Inconsequential? Time magazine and dozens of other outlets have been reporting it today and it's trending topic on Twitter. Hardly inconsequential

Well they can't do anymore "Trumps gonna fade" threads. And they can't talk about Hillarys failure as a Sec of State and how that makes her a good choice as president.

They're running out of material and repeating the same thing over and over is a sign of dementia.

They've got to change the subject. Their chosen one just lost another primary and polls show she's statistically tied with Trump in key swing states. And the e-mail thing hasn't gone away.

From listening to Mr. Trump for years, I say he is not.


The problem he has is that some people 'hear what they want to hear'. I believe that when Mr. Trump called for not allowing people of the Muslim faith into the country ('until they get this figured out', whatever that means), some segments of our society heard: "I will not allow any more black people in", since some people equate 'Muslim" with being black. Many also believe that Mr. Trump was calling for expelling those Muslims already in this country, which I don't think he did; but, again, some people chose to hear that (including drawing the unspoken conclusion that he will 'expel blacks').


For instance, concerning the gentlemen at issue in this thread, CNN cites Mr. Johnson thusly:


"n a telephone interview with CNN, Johnson said he understood that "a campaign has to put its best foot forward — and I'm a white nationalist, and we live in a society today where white people don't like white people who like white people. And so, I don't want to do anything that would jeopardize Mr. Trump's chances. So it's best that I resign."


Donald Trump campaign OKs white nationalist as GOP delegate after 'database error' - CNNPolitics.com


Mr. Johnson obviously believes that Mr. Trump shares his ideals, at heart, and, since he (Johnson) realizes that his being a delegate would harm Mr. Trump's chance of being President, he, Mr. Johnson, made it clear that if not already removed as a delegate, he resigned as such. Yet, he obviously supports Mr. Trump.


Yet, again, I doubt very seriously that Mr. Trump is a 'racist'. He has garnered applause over the years for his golf courses being open to people of all color and faith (and able to pay the membership fees and such). There are still plenty of country clubs in the US of A that do not allow blacks (or even Jews) membership. Mr. Trump is against such thinking.

^^^^^ Yup, I don't think Mr. Trump is a racist, but a huge segment of his supporters definitely are. I think he has like 100% approval rating among the white supremacists.

Do you have any evidence to back that up? Lets see the data for that claim.

Or are we just supposed to take an anti-Trump poster's word for it.
