If you actually read Duke's material, he is what he calls a "racial realist." Basically, he believes in the separation of the races, and doing that which each race is good at. He is not the homicidal maniac people make him out to be.

People have for years branded anyone who sticks up for the rights of white people as some sort of genocidal nut job. I think Duke is wrong on the Jews and goes too far sometimes, but he is largely correct in many of his theses.

I don't see any candidate capable of wresting the nomination from Trump. Continued attacks by establishment Republicans are just going to further alienate the rank and file conservatives, while bolstering the Democrats chances in both the presidential and congressional elections.
For once a sensible balanced post.

There can easily be people who are rah-rah Trump but then may sit and think about it for the next nine months and realize, it isn't such a good idea. That or some moderate Republican comes in as a third party and sweeps in on the home team republicans. It's still far out to give true views but I do think the numbers right now don't favor Trump, essentially in the purple states and other states Trump (Let let alone ANY Republican) needs to win on top of what Romney got. I honestly think the stay at home vote for Romney was overstated before anyone brings that up...

Tell me the last time that has happened, where political strategists focus isn't not to win for their candidate, but try to stop another candidate
LOL.. You think they are all wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!? they were talking about the other candidates being stating in the race in which could make trump not have enough delegates for the nomination or by convention time

They also said he wasn't a viable candidate....did you conveniently forget that?

How often do they have to be proven wrong

What's next owl, do you now jump on the bandwagon of "he will never win the nomination"?

If he wins that, do you tape your ankles and jump on the bandwagon of "he will never beat HILdebeast"?

What will be your prediction when he is getting sworn in?

Is Trump perfect? Absolutely not, and I think some of the Jesusland vote in the party will stay home, but I think a lot of that, and likely more, is going to be made up by voters who are not traditionally Republican.

Who else is out there now to dethrone Trump? Romney - a two-time loser? Romney is a great man and would make a great leader, but he falls into every bit of Trump's narrative. He'd get torn to shreds by Trump./ Trump has slain all the party giants. He is the giant now. There is no savior for the GOPe.

Trump is this weird hybrid of George Wallace, Perot, and Reagan. His campaign is a once in a lifetime deal.

Attempts at labeling Trump a racist is a strategy that will backfire. It likely will strengthen his support. Many Americans are fed up with the relentless accusations of racism for the last 7 years.

Yep, he has burned his final bridge. He did look like a guy who just found out someone mailed pictures of him cheating with the babysitter to his wife.

I was following a progression....do I want him to be president, ABSOLUTELY....do I know or guarantee that, of course not....I am tired of the contrarians. "He won't run"...."He isn't a viable candidate"...."He won't win any primaries"

So keep doubting, and he keeps getting stronger
