Trump knew exactly who Mr Duke was, and about the KKK, and about white supremacists. He's spoken about Mr Duke in the past. So when he stated he didn't know, that was a lie. More than that, his statements today, that it was a bad earpiece, are also lies, GIVEN that he specifically used Duke's name when he was responding to the interviewer. You can't say I didn't hear the question about Mr Duke, when you specifically responded to the question with Mr Duke's name.

And again, it doesn't take research or knowledge to know that disavowing white supremacism is the right thing to do.

Really?
Do those people that marched in CA this weekend know that?

In any event, even Joe Scarborough doesn't believe Trumpie this time:

"On his show Monday, Scarborough revealed great disappointment in his friend —
...
"That is disqualifying right there. To say you don’t know about the Ku Klux Klan? You don’t know about David Duke? And the most stunning thing is. This isn’t buying him a single vote. Is he really so stupid that he think southerners aren’t offended by the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke? Is he really so ignorant of Southern voters that he thinks this is the way to their heart — to go neutral, to play Switzerland when you’re talking about the Klan? And to say he doesn’t know enough information about the Klan to condemn them — exactly what does Donald Trump expect to learn in the next 24 hours about the Klan.""

Since the DNC doesn't elect anyone, that's incorrect. And if the nation could vet each state's senate choices, I suspect we'd have a very different Senate altogether. But since Senators are elected on the STATE level, by the voters in the STATE, sometimes our Congress gets stuck with racists. On both sides of the aisle.

And there is plenty more where that came from.

It will affect her support much more than his.
We got plenty more where Trump came from too. What she did 30 years ago vs what Trump said YESTERDAY. Sorry, no contest.


Moderate Republicans who cannot stand Trump are coming over to vote for Hillary. Hell, at this point, I think Mitch McConnell would vote for Hillary because his hatred for Trump is greater than his hatred for Hillary.


It's kinda funny actually.

He has to wait for the group investigating Obama's birth certificate to return so they can assist with the research.

Maybe it is possible that everyone will start to see our country slipping into 3rd world status and unite.

I'm still caucusing for Trump on March 5! Saving the country means much more to me than what person or group endorses a candidate.

OK. What about the rest?

Judging by his policies I would imagine he was fine with the rest.

Ah, another grossly misinformed, ignorant and irrelevant-to-the-topic post by someone whose only knowledge of BLM came from what the media spoon fed them. No wonder Trump has the backing he has.

I am fully convinced that Trump could hand his supporters a plate of ****, tell them it's steak and they would believe him. I'll give him credit for that. He knows how to play his supporters, although sometimes I think it's not a very difficult thing for him to do.

Thus, point is proved. Trump plays his detractors like fiddle.
And looking at your posts my point is proved that Donny plays his blind, swooning adulators like a Philharmonic Orchestra, eh?

These silly attacks will only make Trump stronger.
The people are going to come out in even larger numbers to vote
for Trump. They know what is at stake now. It's becoming more
and more obvious that the power elite are crying because they
know they can lose and are AFRAID !!! VERY AFRAID !!!!!!
The silent majority will redefine what was "politically correct"
over the last 25 years with a new paradigm.
Attacks like this are falling on deaf ears. As a matter of fact,
they are having the opposite effect !
