So it should be viewed as real cool and funny when Trump imitated a disabled reporter?

It must be bad because my kid was an Obama supporter and she changed her registration to Republican Party, I have to say without my probing. I must admit I was shocked.

I'm 28, and my only experience as an adult witnessing the Republican party is during the Bush era, where they waged war and spent like crazy while have the worst job creation record in history, and the post Obama era, where I witnessed old angry white people storm polls during midterms to claim congress, and since then they have spent all their energy just trying to obstruct every single thing Obama does, offering no alternatives that would help the less fortunate in society.

Now, a racist has been elected as your party nominee. A man who degrades women, Mexicans, and the disabled.

I can't even. I think in a hundred years American history books will look back on this time as the collapse of the party of Lincoln. There is just no way that Republicans can turn away from all the things they have done to make America hold them in furor.

Republicans

At least Democrats have the support of 50% of Americans.
The liberal media isn't doing a good job.. Democrats should have a much higher prercentage..

The left calls everyone a racist.. that is their mantra.. and you believe it..

The spirit of anti-Christ is growing and the left is loving it.They rather protect muslims and the people that love to blow us up and chop off our heads.. we must love the terrorists,, says Loretta Lynch.

If it talks like a racist, and re-tweets like a racist... it seems pretty certain it is a racist. Arguments to the contrary fall on deaf ears.
Specific instances please. Facts not fiction.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, it's a duck in my book, and Donald is a big, orange racist duck, no matter how much Trumplets try to deny it.

So who have the people you call racists voted before in their lives? Have those people you refer to never voted before?

How would you define racism, in common lay terms or politically expedient terms?

Clinton in a general sense has no high ground, and the term Democrat (or Republican for that matter) means nothing on principle anymore

That is a formula for bankruptcy.

Tight with money, but approve all kind of social government programs, that use US. Treasury revenue.


It is either all about individuals and their rights, or the collective taking individual rights. One or the other. Having both is a revolution in the making.
