Trump's rise draws white supremacists into political mainstream: 'I am winning,' says David Duke

David Duke worked the Louisiana gun show like a preacher pursuing souls, cornering potential voters as they picked over firearms and ammo.

The robes are gone and the rhetoric is softer than during his grand wizard days. But Duke has not shed his relentless proselytizing for the white race, even though voters have repeatedly rejected the former Ku Klux Klan leader’s attempts to regain public office.

Duke is undeterred. As he sees it, this is the moment. After last running for election in 1999, he’s back with a long-shot bid for Louisiana’s open U.S. Senate seat.

And his reason for optimism is clear: Donald Trump.

“I love it,” said Duke, 66, tearing into a chicken garlic pizza at a nearby restaurant later. “The fact that Donald Trump’s doing so well, it proves that I’m winning. I am winning.”

1. Don't be crowing so loudly, Mr. Duke.

The demographic you are counting on is dwindling. The trend now runs decidedly against your worldview. Things your generation took for granted -- or could violently reinforce -- no longer hold sway. You have lost in succeeding generations, as the merits of a diverse society and the concerns of a global community are rapidly eclipsing the way of life you stand for.

None of us knows what the outcome of the November election will be. But the demographic models suggest that the smart money is on a certain seasoned Secretary of State and not on a racist blowhard.
