I am not sure this is a bad thing for Trump. He's said nothing overtly racist - a lot of dog whistle rhetoric I hear in my affluent community frequently, right or wrong. I have an autographed copy of Duke's My Awakening, and Duke is an amazing writer, lucid thinker, and clearly an intelligent man. Duke was saying many of the things Trump alludes to years ago that are only spoken of privately, and Trump has been essentially a human shield that makes discussing these issues acceptable now. If anything, I think Trump has motivated millions of white, working class voters who were marginally involved in the political process, at best, to get in on his behalf.
The thought that any human being would want an autographed copy of the compiled rants of an avowed and unapologetic racist is sickening. Stick to whining about work place issues..

Um republicans who have conviction. My brother who is far more conservative (at least on the fiscal side) and less PC especially when it comes to say #OscarsSoWhite stated he is seriously considering a candidate he was writing off. I responded does it rhyme with "stump" or "bill" and he responded "hee-haw." That should tell you something that can worry the RNC if Trump continues freight-training. We are honestly looking at a the potential for a Goldwater in 64 situation except that wss technically an incumbent rather than two fresh candidates. That math should cause the RNC to think a brokered convention may not be a bad idea. As I asked before, What's the use of running a candidate who you don't even have faith in winning the White House...

He did far better in this press conference than I've heard from him before and does seem to have a good grasp on which issues are important to the voting public. However, between delivery of message and lack of details, he's not there yet.
There's this issue too. He merely talks issues but has no path to get there. How exactly fires Mexico pay for the wall? How would Mexico pay for illegals coming through that aren't even Mexican? How can his tax plan be viable and not be anything more than Bush era tax cuts part deux?

That is the only state I could see that but perhaps it is just those who hardly ever do primary voting. I do but as a registered independent in Arizona, I cannot vote in a presidential primary without declaring a party. I can't do that even to pick a lesser evil on the Republican side...

It's still the primaries, don't put a whole lot of weight into that.
Rubio also said he would win Super Tuesday....how's that working out?
Seems that Trump isn't getting as many delegates as we had hoped, that's the reality. Again, I support Trump, but you also need to face reality that the GOP does not want him elected president, and they are going to do whatever they can to see to it that it doesn't happen. That's not me being against Trump, that's the damn facts.

I have absolute faith Trump can win and firmly believe there is a lot of untapped and unmonitored Trump support out there. Supporting Trump is almost akin to saying you're a racist - you might privately think it, but won't publicly acknowledge it. As tainted as Clinton is and given Trump's personality, he'll pretty much run her through a political woodchipper.

And considering how the TrumpHate has ramped up on this site I would say the delusion left is beginning to understand what they are about to bring upon themselves.
