Donald Trump Throws 'Ku Klux Klan' Charge at Hillary Clinton

I don't know about Bill (I don't think he was running this time ) but a quick search showed Hillary credits a klansman as a mentor.

Distasteful, at the least.

Didn't support Trump but he is the lessor of 2 evils, by far. Not alleged lies, proven lies. Not that the truth matters to some.

Because Hillary supporters are ethically and morally bankrupt. They don't care about the truth.
That was an easy one.

Yep. Think links between JFK, Judith Campbell Exner, Frank Sinatra, and Sam Giancana.

The right voted and the electorate, which is designed to protect the minority from the majority (hence popular vote isnt what we want) elected him in. And Congress approved it yesterday.
Now Mob ties. Hillary had none, BS. Bill Clinton and his Arkansas ties, no mob ties, BS.
Start paying attention and get a life and jobs liberals, you will be better off.
MSNBC = More Of The Same....Nothing But Crap

Donald is the Teflon man. No matter what he does or what people accuse him of; it rolls off of him. Some day, hopefully sooner than later he will find out that morals and decency do matter. Until then his supporters will continue to drink the "cool aid." and brag about their fearless "leader."

If he would just park his big fat ego at the front door to the white house, maybe, just maybe, he could be a strong and capable leader. I just think his ego gets in his way. No one is above the law. Not even "the Donald."

Trump has always had the assertion hanging around him since back in the 80's

Now why would anyone think that Trump's mob ties were a surprise? I explained that connection way back in the fall. Roy Cohn, Trump's lawyer and mentor, also represented the Salerno and Castellano Mob families as well as the Gambinos. Trump's behavior fits the Mob mentality a lot more closely than the old 20th century fascists that is often compared to, I've always said that - although the tactics of both have a lot of similarities. The concept of scorched earth, never forgiving a wrong, of getting revenge, of maintaining power at all costs, of wallowing in wealth and power, establishing support from the public either through populism or through threats - all classic mobster behavior. That's the important part of the connection, Trump adopted the mindset of a Mob thug early on, he learned how they operate through Cohn and incorporated that approach into his business and "leadership" style.

Agree. I mean real estate in NYC during the 60's,70's,and 80's how could he not deal with the Mob?
