You tell me.

Oh , and Trump is a dick!

Ed Milliband lost in the UK at least in part because he chose to eat a bacon sandwich. The right wing press dove in and we ended up with brexit and the Gerry Mandering of our electoral districts so that the tories will never be out of power.

Funny how no one ever accused Trump of racism until after he became a presidential candidate.

Well, if the New York Times said it it MUST be true! (sarcasm) And was there an actual indictment? You do realize that anyone who is successful makes themselves a target for litigation. 1973 !?!?! Really. That's what you're clinging to. C'mon.

The other part of the reason is that, as the election rode on he got chicken and dove to the right. By the end Labour policy was little more than "we'll implement almost the same stuff as the Tories, but we won't sneer as much." And when you've two parties offering the same thing, the party doing it longer and offering the more emphatic version wins.

Of course, so badly misjudging Scotland hurt massively too.

So, there are no racists who support Clinton then?

She said half of Trump supporters are racist, homophobic, etc....

About 60% of them believe the president is secretly a Muslim, born in Kenya, or both. 20% of them are doubtful that freeing the slaves was a good idea.

Of course there are racists who support Clinton. No one said otherwise. She doesn't seem to be pandering to them to get the racist vote, though.

Why are you bringing up indictments when your claim is that no one ever accused Trump of being a racist until he became a presidential candidate?

Never mind. I know why.
