Hillary is correct. Donald Trump is a dangerous carnival barker. He’s a necessary evil, though, if the GOP is to ever free itself from the grips the one-percenters, morally bankrupt theocratic, racists. Some of these elements are independent of each other but collectively spell doom for a national party with such great beginnings.

What a click bait heading this is. She was talking about how people remember how hate rhetoric led to lynchings

Finally! One candidate who is willing to flat-out tell the truth about Trump inciting people to violence. Way better than Sen. Sanders’ ‘I hope he tones it down’ weak response.

Hard to believe Sen. Cruz has had about the best response so far: “A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence.” Of course, then he turns around and says, “Protesters have no right to engage in violence.”

I haven;t had that problem this morning. I was hoping it was fixed

I just saw this at political Wire

“Donald Trump’s campaign informed aspiring volunteers Sunday night that they would have to pass background checks and sign non-disclosure agreements if they wanted serve in the Trump Tower Call Center in Manhattan,” BuzzFeed reports.

Said a spokesman: “We need to make sure our call center is a safe environment for all of our volunteers and staff.”

Not just lynching, though. All sorts of nefarious acts have been incited by mob mentality. In their divorce proceedings, Ivanka said that he kept a book of Hitler speeches, that he read from regularly, at his bedside. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Keep punching, Hils. Hit harder. And don’t even think about triangulating toward the center. Oh, and by the way? Keep Bill in a frickin’ box!

Yeah. Happens with every post – no matter if I use Chrome or IE. Grrrr.

The GOP is getting what they so richly deserve. These so-called establishment types who are denouncing Trump should take a long hard look in the mirror. Their senators refusing to meet PBO’s Supreme Court nominee are just as radical as anything Trump is doing. If it were happening in another country we’d call it what it is, a coup attempt.

LOL. That buzzfeed article is funny. Hey, he’s a businessman and people expect him to run things like a business, right? LOL. It only makes sense he run background checks on his fans – gotta weed out the crazies so, you know, as to keep everyone safe while they’re volunteering and wearing their swaggy bling.

Thank you, Mrs. Clinton.

Trump has certainly become a lightning rod…highlighting the significant racial problem we still have.

Even someone with his head stuck deep into his shell (Justice John Roberts) would have to admit we’re not and have never been “post-racial”.
