Since Trump hasn’t said anything racist, I don’t see the problem. The only reason the “racist” term is used is because the left doesn’t have the arguments and they need large numbers of minorities to win so they have to create a false narrative hysteria to win.

If the left wants to talk to us, they’ll have to come with facts from here on out.
That’s funny, because Mitt Romney is worried about Trump changing America with ‘trickle-down racism’.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Trump’s remarks on ‘textbook definition of a racist comment’.

Republican Congressman Reid Ribble said “If you continue to say what I believe are racist statements, you’re likely to be a racist.”

Joe Scarborough called on Republicans to denounce Trump’s ‘racist’ remarks.

And Florida State Senator Rene Garcia called Trump’s comments on Judge Curiel ‘blatantly racist remarks’.

So, while you might think that Donald Trump has made no racist comments, many Republicans seem to disagree with you.
 
What he’s talking about is the fact that the American left runs around shouting “racist” whenever they don’t have the argument.

It’s gotten so bad that some minority Trump supporters are even being called racist, bigoted and sexist, which isn’t possible by First World progressive standards.

Folks like Donald Trump and other commentators like Pat Condell, Milo Yiannopolus and Steven Crowder who lead the way are taking this head-on and challenging it. Even left-leaners like feminist Cristina Hof-Summers and David Rubin are taking this on.

The attempt to explain this away in the vague words of “many would call racist” is meaningless, because those of us who support Trump know they’ll call us racist, sexist bigots no what we say or do. Even minorities are subjected to this. In the last week, a Latino I know was called a racist.

It is nothing more than a tool to silence people whether they shout the n-word or just want to make life better for Americans.

As Yiannopolus says “nobody is buying this anymore”. The left is going to have to face up on a more level playing field when arguing with Trump supporters because 1) it’s annoying and 2) it kills the free market that leads to prosperity, and ironically, jobs for ethnic studies professors.
I think you putting your own spin on what Monkey1976 said. It’s easy enough to read his comments and understand them without the spin.
 
The only reason I’ll be voting for Trump is if I decide to let cynicism take over my conscience and feel that we deserve the worst of nominating the two worst candidates and decide to chose the Armageddon Option. (Yes, this is slightly hyperbolic.)

Not that I’ll be voting Hillary either. The only thing worse than Trump, who represents everything wrong with the sort of people that prey on those who are disillusioned with a corrupt establishment is so voting for Clinton, who represents everything wrong with the corrupt establishment.

Honestly, I’m really hoping that Jill Stein can win over the Bernie supports and that maybe the Libertarian party can get enough conservative leaning voters so that both can enter the debates and maybe America will realize we have a choice that doesn’t amount to getting stabbed to death or shot to death.

There are divergent views. There are those with the comments you cited but there are those that don’t think Trump is racist.

I think that the rise of Trump is the sound of people becoming fully indifferent and deaf to the tactics of the left, The fact is that even Trump cares more about blacks than black politicians do, or Democrats in general do. It was the abortion policy of the Democrats that stopped the demographic rise of America blacks in its tracks.
And it has been under Obama’s reign that the Ferguson effect is taking place, and the murder rate on the urban streets is rising steeply.
That is blacks killing blacks. Everyone else is immune to it. They moved to the 'burbs generations ago, back when 'burbs was actually a word.

It really wouldn’t matter who was the Republican nomination. The tactics of the left remain the same. Even a thoroughly decent man like Mitt Romney was not spared.

If people want to burn the American flag and raise the Mexican one while frothing at the mouth about WHITE privilege and WHITE racism, they are exposing themselves for the pathetic jokes that they really are.
Talk of white privilege rings hollow among the ‘trailer trash’ watching Obama having a fine time on the finest golf course of the land, and kicking up his heels in Martha’s vineyard.
It has been this constant, overbearing, ridiculous pontification over race that has got so many people flipping the bird to all these self-righteous bigots pontificating from their insulated, white suburban neighborhoods about how much better they are than the trailer trash who supports Trump in the first place.

While I have little time for Trump, I have even less time for these insulated bigots whose policies and tactics have led to race riots and racial animosity not seen since the days of the burning of Detroit and shooting of George Wallace.

Well, you did say that Obama being a black President caused the Trump phenomena and Trump does say racist things. Now you are saying that “People of Color” are given a pass when it comes to obeying the law, working for a living, burning down their city, but somehow people are sick of having the ‘racist’ accusation thrown in their face. So it does seem like you are saying there is a racial component that many would call racist to Trump’s support.

This conversation has gone off the edge and only serves the message of those working so hard to further cause discord.

Its tied to the lacking trust and unfavorable ratings due to lies and integrity of this administration. For various reasoning americans by large don’t trust Obama or Hillary. The politics and divisive dialogue precede from there. The example last week of Iran ought to serve clear notice as to why. There is “no” reason to trust them its not rep, policy or sexism, racism etc. Its the simple fact they lie and its not acceptable as we see not only with Reps but the very own Democratic party with Bernie.

We should all work together to stop this. 👍
 
Two other recent polls on RealClearPolitics of Utah show Trump comfortably in the lead against Clinton, but I’m not sure either of those polls took Johnson into consideration. What do you think of this poll?

Poll: Trump’s unpopularity could swing Utahns to Hillary

sltrib.com/news/3993058-155/poll-trumps-unpopularity-could-swing-utahns

Trump 35%, Clinton 35%, Johnson 13%
Not sure about the dynamics of Johnson and Utah with est Rep. I believe Hillary had the best week humanly possible and not to be repeated, Presidential endorsements, nomination etc. Trump on the other hand a fairly bad week but what he demonstrated imo is the ability to amend and adjust his dialogue and tone.

Best week ever and ended up only three points ahead

Well, Utah is a very conservative state, but a factor in the numbers no doubt has to do with Mitt Romney. Meanwhile, Trump is keeping Connecticut in play.

With each of those states, it comes down to can the “underdog” really get more votes on election day in either of them. People are probably tossing around things but it takes quite a bit to shake them up, and I would say that Trump is better at that than Clinton.
 
I was just watching Michael Reagan on Smerconish (CNN). He said that Trump had to earn his vote and that he had not yet done so. I will not go into the reasons why, you can look them up if you are interested in knowing why Ronald Reagan’s son has concerns about Trump.

So my question is, what besides being the Republican nominee and not being Clinton, has Trump done to earn the Catholic vote?
I was watching the same program yesterday and Michael Reagan also said his father, Ronald Reagan, would not be supporting Trump and that there is not even anything Reaganesque about Donald Trump.

Connecticut might be in play, now. But it will go for Hillary.

Utah is big. I don’t know if it will go to Hillary. Johnson, the third party nominee has his headquarters there.

I think it will be close and possibly go to him.

Some on the right are going to complain about Ronald Reagans sons remark.
 
Hmmmm. I’ll go you one better - bet Bill Clinton wouldn’t support Trump either. :rolleyes:
