racist white people (particularly men) made their racist feelings public in legislatures, radio, TV and a variety of internet tools including social media.

Just ask Dylan Roof and the rest of white people with their private internet connections across the globe.

5. Because the people that like him and the people that own the media are one and the same.

They do NOT like Obama or HRC and do everything possible to marginalize them both. Also, Trump followers are aggregate impaired. All they see is that tiny speck of dirt in front of them, meanwhile their lawn and house are on fire.

Remember it was RWing media that created the fake War on Cops. Once again, RWing media is the culprit for a polarized nation.

If we had a real, unbiased media in this country there would be NO GOP or teabaggers.

6. And the leader of the pack is Roger Ailes

Look at what is coming out now about him.

Fox started in 1996 - You know what Fox's first task was - impeaching Clinton because Ailes never forgave Dems for exposing his beloved Nixon. Meanwhile Ailes was harassing the females while Clinton has a consensual relationship.

He said they were finding things that would amaze us. Ask him to explain that.

9. I know, I just don't think that can be 'proved' in a debate.

What can be 'proved' is that he said they were finding astounding things. He said it, he needs to own up to it.

13. Check this- Trump trying to campaign as 'racial healer', says Oklahoma governor

<snip>
Oklahoma’s governor, Mary Fallin, said Donald Trump was “trying to campaign as a racial healer”, as the presumptive Republican nominee tried to paint himself as a unifying force in a country feeling fractured over race, violence and policing.

“I think that has been part of his message, if you watched what he said this week,” Fallin told CNN on Sunday, alluding to police shootings of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, and the murder of five officers in Dallas, Texas.

“He talked about how devastating this was for Dallas, how we have to respect our law enforcement and we need to pray for those who were killed and injured.”

Fallin is widely considered one of Trump’s possible picks for vice-president, but she said she was not currently being vetted to be his running mate – “though it’s certainly an honor to be mentioned”.

How did Fallin get away with saying he's running as the racial healer?

Oklahoma’s governor, Mary Fallin, said Donald Trump was “trying to campaign as a racial healer”, as the presumptive Republican nominee tried to paint himself as a unifying force in a country feeling fractured over race, violence and policing.
