That’s a subtle way of saying that you’re a white identity voter.

White women without college degrees have backed every Republican candidate since 2000.

At least we know what CNN thinks; we do not even have to tune them in! They are so predictable. If they do not have bad news about our Administration; they make up news. They forgot they are supposed to report the news.

I don't like news stations that talk politics; that also goes for many of the FOX programs. There are good news stories as well as bad news stories about what has happened in our Country because of our President - not all good and not all bad. There is other news besides politics; I liked it better when the stations spent half a minute or a minute on each article and then moved on; with the exception of a few 'in-depth' article (which were not all politics).

In general TV is failing today. We pay to see the news, sports or entertainment and they give us trash. Sometimes I think the 'paid programing' out numbers the actual programs. If that was not bad enough; they repeat the same programs over and over again. The length of the commercials has increased to the point that I have to flip to find other programming and then I forget what I was trying to watch! Most of this trash is not worth our time!

Then they wonder why their ratings are so low .

Because only Fox, Breitbart, and Alex Jones is real news these days?

Trump is very much a racist homophobe who is pandering to a base that wants to overthrow everything the US government was founded on and replace it with a Christian version of Sharia Law.

This is how fascism starts, in bits and pieces. Shifts in policy and laws one at a time. Trump is the closest to a fascist idea that this country has come to elect.

Shrug I would guess that a large percentage felt the same way about Obama. I absolutely think that Maxine Waters is. I would hazard that most elitists are.

Please source the DOJ where they "seemed to know he was a racist way back n the 70's and 80's"

I don't think he's necessarily a racist in the traditional sense. He's just more than willing to single out minority groups for derision and happy to discriminate if he sees some financial or popularity gain for himself in it.
"financial or popularity gain"? Really? How much money do you suppose Trump had lost from the ultra wealthy snobs in Palm Beach when he pushed through to open Mar-a-lago to blacks and Jews? The wealthy elite in Palm Beach had made it a practice to blackball all who allowed blacks and Jews in to their clubs, well, unless they were workers at those clubs. Those who did allow blacks and Jews were often driven out of town. Trump was successfully in allowing blacks and Jews onto his property. And no doubt he was shunned by the snobs, which had probably cost him millions of dollars because of that and the other things he'd done to rile those snobs up. How is that a "financial or popular gain"? Please explain.

He's that old school crowd that says things like "I'm not racist I have a black friend.".....oh well then of course you mustn't be racist -- lol.

Same with being a sexist. I respect women -- and admire their beauty. But if they are fat or say something I don't like I will hurl insults on their physical looks implying they are lesser human beings for not being pretty.

He is racist and sexist......he just doesn't know any better. He's a white rich man who grew up in a white, rich world.

“I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump told Albany’s Talk 1300 in April 2011 as he mulled a run for the presidency at that time, which he did not ultimately pursue.
If a "racist" is someone who says they have black friends, or speaks in NYC dialect and refers to black people as "the blacks", then I guess racists are no big deal and nothing to be concerned about.
