Jack answered this, but dude...why would you think every democrat is somehow a weird alt kid? I don't think every republican is some guy who drives like an ass in a truck and open-carries.

I didn't say that. I was pointing out the extreme and how they still don't want Hillary.

But that crowd didn't support Clinton in 2008 either. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember that some were supporting Obama based mostly on his hints toward ending the drug war and actual wars, as well as his potential to make racial history. And many were of course with Ron Paul (I was too, big RP supporter for a while, OOF).

Didn't get a chance to read the article, but is the statement being misconstrued as whites will make up less than 50% of the american population? Because thats not really fair to say your group is a minority if you are less than 50% of the populat, but still more than any ethnic group.

And like I said, I didn't read the articles, so if thats not what they are saying, then never mind.

Lol, if you make up less than 50% of the population, you are minority. End of.

"His potential to make racial history" = people voted for Obama because he's black. Yeh, I know.

Toilet paper = bathroom tissue

So you can object to my wording but not respond to my point? Go ahead and substitute your wording into my point, it's not important.

okay just for the record, its you insinuating that it is a "whites against the world". I know you're in England where the vast majority of the population outside of London is incredibly white, but thats not how it is in America. Blacks and Latinos and Asians are completely separate entities. To insinuate that its white america vs the others is absurd.

CNN: Trump will not endorse John McCain and Paul Ryan in their upcoming elections.

its bizarre when you really think about it. trump the life long democrat who brags that he didnt even have to run as a republican is the real republican. while paul ryan and john mccain are the fake ones.

looks like being a whiny, sensitive bitches is not just for trump. its pretty common among trumpsters here too.

To be fair, I doubt Mccain wants his support.

The Ryan snub is messed up though.

Ryan's spokesman responded that they weren't seeking a trump endorsement and that they're confident in victory next week.

I'm not sure what you mean by the first part of your post.

Simple, why do you think Trump's rhetoric on Muslims and illegal immigration is legit, but not his populist rhetoric?

I ask, because I don't believe any of it, where it seems you give weight to his Muslim and illegal rhetoric, and yet dismiss his populist rhetoric.

I haven't seen any polling but I assume he's safe next week. I believe only one speaker has ever lost an election and that wasn't a primary.

I think his approach to both of those issues is totally shallow and built on the popular tantrum. However, what I've said since the beginning is that when people are seeking power, we have to take them at their word for their bad ideas. So when Trump makes terrible proposals, they must be taken seriously, so they have at least that weight to them.

Of course Cpt. Khan was killed under the Bush admin., but why get in the way of facts.

This is the crux of our disagreement. I don't take the word of any of these people. I don't take Bernie at his word. Bernie's 30 year history is what I judged him by.

Donald Trump has no history, which is why I view him as an unknown quantity.

Apparently they dished out 2200 bans during Trumps AMA lol
