ā€œI guess with maybe some,ā€ he added. ā€œI donā€™t know why.ā€

Wow, he seriously said that?

Trumpā€™s Birtherism may have hurt him with African-American voters, but it sure helped him with Mitt Romney, who begged for Trumpā€™s endorsement.
Thanks, Governor Romney!

Trump Has ā€˜No Ideaā€™
That about sums it up .
Has a more clueless motherfucker ever graced the public forum?
That he continues to get a pass from the MSM makes it worse
Because Horserace
Quick look over there! Thereā€™s a poll that says theyā€™re tied. They about fainted with excitement.
Instead of " this duplicitous lying sack of shit is not remotely qualified to be dogcatcher"

Love fest? Oh shit now I have to rip that image from my brain. And a slight correction to Trumpā€™s comment;

ā€œI donā€™t know. I have no idea. I donā€™t even talk to black folks,ā€ Trump replied

Specific Trump quotes that Clinton should refer to in the debates:
ā€œLaziness is a trait in blacks.ā€

And on African-Americans and Jews:
ā€œBlack guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.ā€

Know wonder heā€™s so popular with white guys!

George W. Bush. Although, admittedly, Trump almost makes one forget just how clueless George was.

Trump then told Oā€™Reilly he is ā€œthe first one thatā€™s brought that up in a while,ā€ before pivoting to describe his visit to Detroit as a ā€œlove fest.ā€

Um, no. Just yesterday, Jake Tapper on CNN asked your black doctor surrogate (the ā€œgiftedā€ hands one) the exact same question. Not paying attention to your own campaign, I see, HO.

Reagan was probably more clueless than Bush. He had a better team, and he was able to memorize his lines, at least at the beginning.

Trump: Itā€™s a tough balance when one has to be himself. For me, being an open racist is easy and itā€™s very popular among my kind. I am sure non-whites, in general, be pissed off but Itā€™s better this way. I got 14Million White votes in the primary, the most ever.

Heā€™s clueless about almost anything that involves a body of knowledgeā€”international relations and U.S. law and governance, for startersā€”but this isnā€™t cluelessness. Itā€™s a particular type of bullshitting heā€™s very fond of where any uncomfortable subject is portrayed as a dark, foggy forest where nothing is knowable so thereā€™s really no point in discussing it. He knows perfectly well his racist fearmongering has hurt him with a surprising number of white Republican voters, so every now and then he tries to publicly downplay it. Believable? Consistent? Of course not. But he thinks he can say one thing over here and another over there and get away with it. Birtherism was a springboard, but now heā€™s in a different place so he doesnā€™t ā€œtalk about it any more.ā€

Attention, Attention all Trump spoxes, advisors, campaign employees- Stop Being PC Around MR. trump. Hey Bannon and Mercer, when your candidate is clueless looks bad on you guys.

The horserace is not the only reason Trump gets a pass from the media. The truth is that the owners of most of the major media corporations would like less regulation and more opportunity to consolidate market power and form monopolies - and theyā€™ll get that from Trump.

Yes, I went through George Wallace and Ronald Reagan before settling on Bush.

But Wallace wasnā€™t so clueless except for thinking that his schtick had a nationwide appeal. He had a plan and he stuck to it. Reagan was certainly clueless, but, as you say, he was able to memorize his lines, except for the occasional slip-up (ā€œFacts are stupid thingsā€). He also had the actorā€™s ability to fake sincerity, which carried him a long way. And even clueless George Bush actually seemed, about midway through his second term, to have cottoned on to the fact that Cheney was playing him like a Stradivarius.

Wallace, Reagan, and Bush the lesser were all clueless in their own ways, but Trump is clueless across the board. Trump really does believe that everyone loves him and canā€™t understand why so many blacks and Latinos are withholding their praise from him. He just doesnā€™t seem to be able to make the connection between the comments he makes and the reaction to them that he gets.

Save yourself (and us) some time. Just list the things he has some idea about.

Stradivari make nice sounds when played by experts. Cheney was playing him like a twenty dollar whore.
