The only difference between Trump and the GOP is that he doesn't use dog whistles and buzz words.

I actually heard Mika saying Dems should be very worried if Trump is the Repug (of course she said Republican, lol) candidate. That if he was Dems would be in huge trouble. They are so on the take for him. They blast him occasionally for his racist rants, but the next day are strongly back in his pocket again.

Of course Ryan is wrong too. Repugs have long traded on being racists and continue to do so even more strongly in the person of Trump. He is exactly what the Repugs have created, racist, women hating, minority hating. worker hating, education hating, supporter of the 1%.

8 years as Obama has been targeted with an endless onslaught of outright racism by Repukes? What a hypocritical little twit. The Republican party has been overtly racist for decades. That's a huge part of the appeal. Nixon's Southern Strategy, Reagan's Welfare Queens, GHW Bush's Willie Horton ad, Trump's screeds -- all part of the game plan. They don't hide their racism. They embrace it.

The GOP has been racist since they embraced the Southern Strategy more than 40 years ago.

They have been promoting this racist garbage for a long long time. Before Reagan there was the whole southern strategy by tricky Dick of course.

i never thought the clown car was filled with stupidity...these people were/are chosen for a reason.

when/if Trump is disqualified along with the others in that car....who is going to be the chosen one?

i don't like seeing Ryan's face on anything let alone the possibility of him being the chosen one.

i already know i'm voting D coming whenever possible.

as someone mentioned in another thread....the R's are squeezing the political tube from the bottom and winning.

i don't consider the GOP as being stupid at this point..............they have an agenda and my vote for a D is my only chance to fight their agenda.

you all are playing right into Trump's hand with this effort to brand him as racist. That won't beat him. Attack his policies. "Racism" is a watered down word that some see as "politically correct". That will only motivate people to vote for trump. Don't fall for the trap!
