The rise in activity among hate groups has been well documented for the length of this primary. Normally they are not very politically active in main stream politics.

The point is that Trump's xenophobic pandering appeals to idiots across the whole spectrum, not just to white idiots. As long as you're an idiot he'll take your vote. Black and Hispanic idiots exist and therefore so do black and Hispanic Trump voters. It doesn't mean his message isn't racist. | ||

http://www.factcheck.org/2016/02/trump-and-the-black-vote/ Trump tweeted about the survey when it was released in September. But that poll was an outlier at the time, as the Washington Post wrote, and his standing among blacks is not that high in recent polls. In fact, polls show his support ranges from 4 percent to 12 percent. It remains to be seen what the level of black support for the Republican nominee will be in 2016. But Trump is wrong to say that 4 percent to 5 percent is the norm. Not really by any metric. | ||

Same can be said for Hillary or Sanders supporters though. There a lot of stupid people supporting those two. | ||

Many people are naive in this thread and think that trump is just a republican phenomenon. Alot of democrats will vote for trump if he is the nominee. My girlfriend and I are voting for him. We are an inter racial couple who are young and college educated with generally liberal views on many social issues. I dont understand the hate on trump over other republican nominees. Hes the only republican candiate with moderate views on planned parenthood, israel/palestine conflict and many other issues. Honestly, i think many of the social issues are irrelevant as trump doesn't really care about them. He only says certain things to be accepted within the republican party. His true emphasis is on economy, trade, borders, health care, and foreign policy. We finally get a candidate that is not backed by the special interest groups, yet people want to vote for hillary? Please look at her donors.. | ||

Not voting for Hillary over ANY candidate with still somewhat of a chance in the republican field is pretty close to the definition of stupid. Sanders, well, he's very left and there are understandable reasons that people wouldn't vote for him on that basis... But on the other side you get to choose between an Evangelical Asshole, a guy that thinks of himself as the second coming of awesome and a robot that can't even manage to be in congress half the time he should. | ||

When people talk about xenophobia, they are referring to “Mexico is sending over rapists”, “make a data base of Muslims” and “Kill their families, that is how you beat the terrorist.” | ||

Marco Rubio's top campaign adviser huddled with roughly 40 bundlers and K Streeters Tuesday morning to prepare them for a difficult primary election night—as well as to brief them on the campaign's plan for what to do next. Terry Sullivan told supporters at campaign headquarters that the Florida Republican could secure just 100 delegates from Super Tuesday states in one of the scenarios he laid out. Sullivan's prediction was part of his larger detailed powerpoint presentation going through different delegate counts for March, April and May. He told attendees that it would be mathematically impossible for Donald Trump to get to 1,237 delegate votes by the end of April, according to multiple attendees. Sullivan said that Henry Barbour, a veteran Mississippi political operative, is leading Rubio's convention delegate strategy. Several sources familiar with the meeting described it as an exercise in lowering expectations for how well Rubio needs to do in order to stay in the race for the White House. "The pressure is going to be so great in April and May, and they feel like they are committed to working in the trenches," said one Rubio bundler who attended the meeting. A Rubio spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Source | ||

It would be a fitting end to this 4 year nightmare of federal government not functioning in any way and everyone just acting like its fine. | ||

It's certainly relevant when people claim trump and trump supporters are all racists or white supremacists | ||
