has so many good Presidential candidates, while the GOP has Donald Trump as the alpha candidate.
what amuses me is to read and listen to pundits and politicians as they attempt to portray Trump as some sort of abberation.
Trump is, and has been, the GOP since 1968.
Reagan was a crude old white racist, but with a veneer of civility.
Trump is a crude old white racist who does not hide behind a white hood or coded language.
And both of them appeal to the white racists who are still fighting the Anerican civil war.

If a Republican is ever upset with him over something he says, it is because they are used to using dog whistling instead of just saying it outright. But no mistake, Trump and the rest of the Republicans are fundamentally the same people: a pack of greedy racists.
