Racism and general bigotry...really splitting hairs...aren't we? If you;ve never heard it..again, it's only because you haven't been listening. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you for not listening to the head trumpster, it's only my macabre fascination with car crashes that keeps me listening.

Which is a whole 'nother aspect of stupidity, given that they had scads of evidence for Trump's bigotry, but not one shred for Killary. I think that double-standard says something about what they prefer to overlook and what they prefer to focus on. In this case, they clearly chose to overlook Trump's bigotry in favor of focusing on oft-debunked bullshit.
That, too speaks to their acceptance of bigotry. They would believe Pizzagate but disregard "Mexicans are rapists", "ban all Muslims", and so on.

Some people attribute all three to Trump . That he is a racist . He is corrupt . He is a liar . And if his connection to the New York mob are to be believed he mingles with killers.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Yeah, Trump settled with the feds back in the 70s over denying rentals to blacks based on their race.

There's also some bona fide racism in many of these instances: http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/donald-tru...sm-quotes/
But I didn't need to dig back into that in order to know that Trump's a bigot.

I don't see him as a racist and I don't see him as hating immigrants either. I'm 100% for free speech, but if felt he was a racist, I wouldn't support him and neither would the non-white people.
He's also married to an immigrant, and it can't be because she was a model either because she's really not all that damn attractive (in my opinion anyway). I see him as looking out for the best interest of the American economy (We only have so much $$$), social programs (can't take care of absolutely everyone), and job (why pay $20 pr hr. when a Mexican will work for $5.00). A can also agree with not permitting hundreds of thousands or muslims coming into the country forcing restaurant owners to take ham and bacon of their menus... among other stupid things they lose their minds over.

There is a difference between being racist and being a "general bigot," which I say in this case to mean nationalism of a sort. I haven't seen anything that says he hates this or that race. Maybe he hates Mexicans who are immigrants, but doesn't hate Mexican-Americans. You know what I mean? It's an important distinction if meaningless in terms of his personality.
You're right, I don't listen much. He wasn't my candidate. I ruled him out early in, so there wasn't much less to know. What I do know mostly comes from late night comedy.

CJ, between your feelings and his words, I consider the latter much more informative concerning his state of mind.

Because his words are directly from his own mouth and bespeak more directly his sentiments.

Well, let's hope that he succeeds then.
