If not, then don't assume that Whites (and others) are rallying around Trump because of racism.
The poster you are responding too is allowed to use the double standard. Its part of the "hypocritic" oath.
Can't discuss policy, that would expose the left.

Trump never called Mexicans rapists either and never egged on people to beat a black man. Your post, just like your President, is dishonest.

LMAO Using a bigoted statement while claiming a candidate is bigoted. Trump isn't the bigot here.

Trump needs every guy in Iowa and New Hampshire with a gun rack on his truck to go vote. That doesn’t typically happen. But if it does, look out. After all, Obama wasn't expected to win Iowa. Hillary was. Nearly 240,000 people voted in the Iowa primary, about double the historic Democratic turnout. Obama won by approximately 8 points. The rest was history.

Bernie is getting educated white supporters in higher income brackets. They know they may be voluntarily voting against their own interests but are motivated by their morals.

Trump is getting whites who are jealous of those on welfare. Think about how misinformed you need to be to be "jealous" of people on welfare. These voters are motivated by hate and paranoia. They have no idea that they are voting against their own interests. They are literally and figuratively "tools."

Ahh, there we go. Bernie supporters are the "good" whites while Trump supporters are the "bad" whites. Thanks for clearing that up.

If Trump loses both Iowa and New Hampshire, he is in bad trouble. He can lose one, but not both. And currently he has a very large lead in the polls in New Hampshire, for whatever that is worth.

Trump is not a fascist and has no racist policies. He said illegal immigration should be stopped, which most Americans agree with. And he can't be racist to Muslims because Islam is not a race. You really need to pay more attention to what is being said instead of parroting communists from Salon and Huffington that back Comrade Bernie.
I am one that certainly has no respect for Huff P or Salon, I agree with you on this one, but when you claim he cant be racist because Islam is not a race, tech you are right, but he is a bigot or appears to be. There really is no difference between a bigot and a racist.

Sure there is. A bigot is generally someone who's opinions you disagree with, while a racist is someone who believes that a particular race is superior to another. Trump is not a racist.

Just because you don't like Trump's ideas doesn't make him a bigot, and a 2012 Pew Poll found that 69 percent of Americans want to place greater restrictions on who was allowed into the United States.

Sounds like Trump is right in the mainstream of American thinking on immigration.

Trump's voters are motivated by their morals as well. Also, you are contradicting your "liberal facts". Liberals always say that Whites are the majority of people no welfare. So using that logic, many of Trump's supporters would also be on welfare...your argument doesn't make sense.

Fact is, very few people want to be on welfare---they want jobs, and Trump is promising that, by bringing them back from where the GOPe have sent them, and sending out refujihadists and illegals that are taking them. All Bernie wants to do is bring a failed European system to the United States that will bankrupt us even further.

Your notion is nonsense. However for just for laughs, which group do you think there are more of?

A vote from an Einstein genius = A vote from rider on short bus.

Maybe you need to rethink your strategy of telling us why Bernie will win. Because if your theory is correct, Trump will be in the White House.
