I think religion, not race, is the primary driver of most Trump supporters. However, Trump has enabled and given a voice to white nationalist groups and they all support him.
Trump's supporters ARE racist (and stupid). They wouldn't be voting Dem anyway so it makes no difference. It's all the people who stayed home in 2016 that will make the difference in 2020. They didn't like Hillary or tRump, so didn't vote. This time we need someone they like as a nominee.
I see Buttigieg as VP for Warren or Harris.
I am amazed at anyone who is so bigoted they would refer to Trump supporters as being stupid. There are stupid and bright people on both sides. This doesnt mean any party or everyone that voted a certain way is stupid. I think there is a better chance of people staying home in 2020, which is sad. I can remember the days when voting was something almost everyone felt it their duty to vote.
Will Pete be a VP candidate running with Warren? possibly but I doubt she will get the nomination.
Personally, I don't think the Trumpettes are all racist or stupid. Some are, for sure, but others are surely neither.
But there's no way any of them will ever vote for any Democrat in 2020 unless Trump quits before the election.
I doubt any of the Democratic contenders count on a single Trumpette vote. For sure, not a one of them are going to court the Trumpettes at all, especially when there are such rich fields to plow in other voter groups.
So for a guy like Pete, there may be an advantage to getting out in front early on the racism issue. This would be a particularly good time to do it, considering how hot Trump has made it.
It's another one of his self-inflicted wounds; we are coming into the summer doldrums, when new big news seldom comes, so old news gets well-chewed until the temps begin to cool off. I fully expect racism will be the main topic of conversation everywhere now for the rest of the summer.
Trump himself is a full-tilt racist, and has always been one his entire adult life. Racism is his most used tool in a very small toolkit, so I fully expect him to keep using it, now that the border crisis has become a for-real crisis at last.
Thank you: can't rep you again, but I think you are someone who uses his head when responding. it is nice to be able to discuss and debate without showing hatred.
Bigoted? Hardly. Unless you want to call someone who hates racism and xenophobia and a dangerous and evil ******* like trump a bigot. trump supporters are stupid, ignorant, or they are the rich who know he'll always take care of them while screwing over the poor and middle class.
anyone who calls an entire group of people stupid is bigoted. You are a left wing democrat. In fact it sounds like you are a socialist. I may not agree with you on your views but I certainly would never call you stupid. Some of your ideas I may think of as stupid, but I do not think you are stupid or ignorant for that matter. Do you realize people can disagree without calling others ignorant or stupid? I happen to be pretty open minded when it comes to social issues, not even far right for sure, but I am not racists or bigoted. I have many friends who share similar views, most all far from stupid. I guess you just can't accept that people can differ and even be friends.

Or they "have no choice" but to vote for Trump simply because he is their party's nominee, even though they disagree with what he stands for, like the poster you're responding to stated.
Of course they have a choice. Just because you've always been republican doesn't mean you can't vote for someone else.
Not when you put party before country. I never forgot that poster's comment because it was such a blatant demonstration of that. I'm sure she is not the only Republican who voted for Trump for that very reason, and will vote for him again, for that very reason, even though they know he is an abhorrent being who is wholly unqualified for the job.
Ironic that Pete is a bigot... Stereotype is one of the common bigotry action... That's the only thing he can do, since he is DOA for the candidacy... Bye, Felicia....

But the VP selection rarely comes from "the pack" that is running to be the candidate, e.g. Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Spiro Agnew, many others.
