Mass media (and Muslims) are furious at the support he is receiving on this issue and are (again) resorting to their usual mode of irreverent name-calling. In other words, they've yet to cotton on to the fact that their outrage is only set to consolidate Trump's popularity. Not since the Chik-Fil-A media circus have they been so completely out of touch with the public on social issues.
"Bigoted, sexist, racist" translated thus: "Not ultra-left wing liberal, appreciates biological gender differences, understands the basic concept of national sovereignty", as understood by rational, practical people with a grasp of reality.
None of the candidatesto USA presidency are ultra left wing liberal, not even Sanders. He's just a regular left winger while Hillary is centrist or at most center-left, while Bush is center right and Cruz, Rubio and Trump are far right.
That is for the standards of each western county but the USA

I think you have watched too much Fox news. Those people who are resorting to name calling are right, I don't think Trump actually is bigot, racist, xenophobic or islamophobic but he represents a part of the American population that is.
You would probably struggle to find a black, aHispanic or even an Asian who will vote for Trump
He represents everything that is wrong with your country! Also, that band of fools you call the Republican Party is just as pathetic and dangerous as Trump. Fox News, the Repubicans and trump are the perfect trifecta that will destroy your country!

Hillary's political views are labile, seemingly in accordance with the shifting whims of public opinion, but she currently adopts a leftist/far-leftist etiquette to appeal to specific crowds. This is among various reasons why she is often portrayed as self-serving or unprincipled.

I don't watch any Fox News at all. And absolute claims are easily disqualified.

I don't watch any Fox News at all. Judging by your postings so far, I'm not so convinced by the rest of your comment.
Sanders isn't far left. His policies are similar to Hollande's. Would you call the French president far left wing. And if he is, how would you call the Greens, the Commies and all the No Global and Anarchic grouplease which are quite common in various areas of Europe. I think you have lost touch with reality. Hillary is centrist for the reasons you have explained. She goes where the wind blows like a true catch all politician
Mine was an hyperbole. Of course you will find supporters of every ethnicity but Non Hispanic whites are the majority more than for any other candidate
Its not like Obama is any better, Obama is hated all over the world.
The USA foreign policy might be hated but Obama, I think he is one of the most well liked world personalities. Certainly more like than the Bushes and Reagan.
