Trump goes to 95% white town, accuses Hillary of bigotry toward African Americans.

Who's going to disagree with him there?

“We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton which panders to and talks down to communities of color and sees them only as votes — that’s all they care about — not as individual human beings worthy of a better future,” Trump said at a rally in Wisconsin.

Trump’s rally was in West Bend, Wisconsin, a town that is 95 percent white and less than an hour outside of Milwaukee, where violent police protests have rocked the city in recent days following the shooting of an armed 23-year-old black man by a black police officer.

“Crime and violence is an attack on the poor and will never be accepted in a Trump administration,” he said at another, as he referred over and over to the plight of inner-city African-Americans.

Clinton, he said, simply represented “more poverty, more crime and basically just more of the same.”
“She doesn’t care at all about the hurting people of this country,” Trump said.

and lack of taxes to go towards schools, etc. And jobs? What about all that Keynesian spending Obama wanted to do in the great recession that the GOP blocked?

anyone that isn't spray tan orange is "colored". He used to golf with Boehner since they had so much in common.
