Exactly.. Do these Democrats think republicans are going to go

"oooh I'm a racist, I didnt realize that", and then switch to vote Democratic?

Fat chance.. the further out in left wing kook field they move with this crap, the more likely I am to vote Republican.. And 75% of my household is black, so they can go to he!! with their racist bs..

You know what else is insulting? Calling Blacks lazy, or calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, or suggesting that Muslims should wear a "patch" in public, or going on national television and being coy about the KKK so as not too lose their support, or holding rallies where minorities (including teenagers) are spit on and assaulted whether they are protesting or not, and you encourage this. That's not cheap talk. Those are all plain facts about the candidate you have chosen to support.

Birds of a feather flock together, and if it walks, talks, and acts like a racist...I and others will draw the logical conclusion that he IS racist, along with anyone who supports his gross behavior. If you can rationalize it and sleep at night, more power to you. I just hope he never comes for a group YOU belong to, because at the rate he's alienating people, no one will be left to stick up for you if he does.

Writing off the demographic most likely to be these net tax payers (white males) freed the Democrat Party, already well-established in the buying votes business, to expand into the narrative business, i.e., black short-comings are always the fault of white people.


That anyone would suggest a white male who works for a living and pays taxes should vote for a political organization that buys votes with his tax dollars hoping to politically disenfranchise him and take away any and all means by which to resist further subjugation indicates an unhappy relationship with reality.


The Republican establishment, knowing the fate of working-class white males, has in recent elections taken advantage of the fact that, in political matters, we simply have nowhere else to go.


The donor class has allowed no alternative to bought and paid for corporate ***** RINOs who make tax cuts for the wealthy the centerpiece of their campaigns.


Were it not for Trump and Cruz there would be no one advocating a job market reserved strictly for American workers and legal immigrants, returning illegals to wherever they came from and sealing the southern border.

For all of you who declare that trump isn't racist... it is clear that he, at minimum, supports racism, and that a lot of his supporters are actually racist.

I understand that you won't read the link if you support trump. Perhaps if you did, you might see yourself in the attitudes of the people in action there...

I think this had more to do with his attempt to be unPC .....he doesn't want to to held to a popular belief expected of politicians. This time his hesitancy to take Toppers cue that KKK = bad.

Good. I hope he does it. Sadly, this is probably going to be like those CNN debates he promised to skip.
