...a little voice inside is telling you that his message of white superiority and proactive racism is a valid voice in the American landscape. The reason you don't reflexively condemn the guy is because that voice is saying. "well...he might have a point". WTF.

Trump's new slogan should be "I stand with David Duke".

Asshat.

Drumf is getting pretty old for a big man who eats crap... The asshat who would become president is PENCE! Good Lord help us! Right wing bigot Fundamentalists would cry tears of joy if he became president... which is probably what they're hoping by backing the ticket!

If you can't say DUKE is deplorable, then you are 100% unfit to represent America.
