Facts are racist. Noticing crime patterns is racist. You're racist. I'm racist. We're all racist!
You are correct. And it's true the left throws around racist so often now (along with their other favorite isms, and phobias) that the word has completely lost all meaning. "Racist" is simply a word used on anyone who disagrees with their socialist world view.
The republican party is in disarray. Their only actually electable candidates (eg Christie, Kasich) have dropped out or been sidelined. The choice for the GOP is in the frying pan or in the fire at this point. Neither Trump or Cruz will win the middle voters who actually decide general elections.
The bookies know that Clinton will win now by defult. What a disappointment this whole race has been.
How is trump a racist? Because he wants to actually enforce immigration law?
Because he makes wild swings of blame at racial and religious groups that represent a small part of bigger problems. He creates the wound then picks it until it bleeds. Then says "who me, what did I do? I;m not responsible for people's anger!" But I don't think he's a racist. I think he's an opportunist and dividing and conquering is how the game is played, unfortunately and that's why he's doing so well.
Let's all just forget about systemic/institutionalized racism that still exists today and how it continues affects our society.
LOL Is that what MSNBC is teaching you leftists these days? Blaming all of societies ills on "systematic racism" rather than personal responsibility. Its always somebody else's fault right? Typical.

I'd dare say in NY this is true. We're all racist until someone else attacks us. Then we're family and brethren. Then the crisis subsides and we're racist again!

Typical hyperbole. Pointing out that systemic racism exists (hardly a disputable point), does not equate to a claim that "all of societies [sic] ills" result therefrom. But it does underscore MemoryMaker's point about a refusal (inability?) to try to understand concepts.
I agree that the often times, terms like "racism" are bandied about too much. But what Trump is peddling (irrespective of whether he actually believe it or is just an populist opportunist) cannot plausibly be described as anything but bigoted. Amongst other things, his is an individual who has proposed limiting the constitutional liberties of Muslims, referred to Mexicans as rapists, refused to reject the endorsement of the David Duke, has regularly made misogynistic comments, refers to ethnic groups as monoliths such as "the blacks" and "the japs", proposed banning select ethnic and religious groups from entering the county, and ridiculed people with disabilities.
Of course, objectively, the fact that numerous other Western world leaders have denounced him as being "absolutely" a racist who engages "discriminatory" behavior and a "divisive" "hate preacher", should also be significant. Meanwhile the Russian and Chinese leadership are gleefully cheering him on because his social rhetoric undermines American moral superiority and legitimizes their own agendas.
