Don't think it is staged.

My question...WHY would a candidate make a point of going after and exposing the ugly underside of the American electorate knowing they are not the majority???

If they are, God help us all...

It's disgusting. There is no defense or spin that will get this smell out.

Trump rallies are like Tea Party rallies on steroids. But it's the same hateful bunch. They've just found their Messiah in Trump.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Tea Party is all about conservatism and most are very religious, Trump is neither. Most of the Tea Party movement are Cruz supporters who hate Trump.

I attended a number of Tea Party rallies in Chicago and the surrounding area in 2010. I was taking pictures of signs for a local publication. I know the kind of hateful things I saw and heard there. Many of them were absolutely disgusting. Whenever I see a Trump rally I'm reminded of them.

Tea Party signs show what a bunch of retards these people are. " Obama half breed Muslin ". Confusing a religion with cotton fabric I guess.

You can make a video like that for any candidate. Maybe they wouldn't be this particular brand of yucky but it would not be hard to find cringeworthy stuff.

Why? People are stupid that's why.

And this is coming from someone who thinks Trump is a putz.

Considering the corruption already brought to light, I wouldn't be surprised if the dems would pay people to make racist statements at an opponent's event. Didn't the latest email scandal say something about making up stories about Bernie's events being full of violence.
