Just another guy stuck on "political correctness". Trump's platform of racism and xenophobia won him the Republican primary, not his lack of "political correctness." I agree with his assessment that Trump is a dangerous and ignorant candidate, but his rant on political correctness is tiresome.

He is also rather dangerous in my opinion. His intolerance reveals him to be more similar to those he critiques than different.
