Trump as already disavows David Duke, and said clearly that he doesn't want his support.
He didn't make the comment, the current Speaker of the House, and nominal head of the Republican Party did.

Show it to me. Trump denounced David Duke at least twice and has never endorsed or embraced any white supremacist or neo Nazi.
If you can actually prove this, you might be on the national news. Everything else is only videos of Trump saying he won't denounce groups he doesn't know anything about.
Even assuming he never embraced the neo-Nazi groups themselves, I can assure you Trumps rhetoric about racial minorities and immigrants is strikingly similar to Duke's in 1991. Even worse, Duke's rhetoric was actually less blatant and uncouth in the Louisiana race than Trump's is today. Yes..Duke actually was more polite than Trump! So embracings or not, Trump's rhetoric and tone is way, WAY too similar to Duke's to make him fit to be anything more than an actual literal pimp - if that (apologies to pimps out there).

Because he's dragged his feet at this, I think nothing short of a clear statement that racism and that support has no place in the Republican Party or in society at large is going to satisfy the rank and file R's.
You just proved my point. Thank you for showing everyone you have absolutely no proof of this and at best you just aren't happy that he didn't denounce these groups fast enough.
When you say "embrace" that's your imagination running wild because you hate Trump. Nothing wrong with hating Trump, but don't make up stories like he "embraces" white supremacists and neo- Nazis. That's an outright lie.

You're not serious, are you? Is there anyone on earth other than Trump who does not know what the KKK is about?

I don't care if he gets an endorsement from the ghost of Mussolini himself. I didn't say he embraced it, I said it appears that he's allowing it, and it is the head of his party that has the problem with it. The word "embrace" never appeared in my posts.

OP - you conveniently left out the time that David Duke ran for office as a Democrat. Dishonest...

Well he already has gotten three and is projected to win at least seven tonight.

Yes, in 1988. Lets continue pulling up ancient history to try and score points though shall we?

My guess is they would use rather very little known about methods in the convention in order to take the election from him. To my understanding they are free to alter the rules right before the convention. So they could in theory change in a way to ensure he loses. That would of course backfire and ensure he ran as an independent. For all the talk about it, most Republican legislators will fall in line and support him in the end.

Gimmeabreak.

That didn't take long. It's nothing more than.a fable that Trump is "embracing" either the KKK or Neo-Nazis.

And that little back-stabbing turd Ryan is why people are backing someone other than an anointed (by him and his gang) Republican. What a crock of baloney.
