(8,905 posts)36. I think his hardest core supporters are racist, but
I also think there are also some others who are single issue voters that won't vote for a democrat because of their own personal issues, and are willing to excuse any behavior to protect for their own issue. I know someone, for example, who is a gun humper, but I've never seen any racist tendency in him. I've known him for over 25 years, we played basketball together for most of that time (until my body finally gave out), we have many friends of multiple races, and I've never heard him say an unkind word about anybody. But he is a hunting enthusiast, and just loves his guns so much and is so scared that dems will send boogeymen to his home to take away his guns. So, as best as I can tell, everytime he votes he votes for his guns.

No. Your ridiculous statistical claims about AA, Hispanics, and women.
