Pretty sure he’s flashing a gang sign there. Anyone ACTUALLY see his birth certificate?

I want to see the court documents from when his family legally changed their name from Drumpf to Trump, if they ever legally did.

Also, the source of the information is a white supremacist. I’m on my iPhone and can’t provide the link, but that information is at Little Green Footballs.

Trump in his own little way is as nuts as Carson. Inspiring another Roof massacre for a couple of bigot points is one more step on the path.

The Donald has gone so far off the cliff that I keep thinking (hoping!) that this is merely a publicity stunt and at the last second he’ll turn to his supporters and say, “You people are so fucking stupid!”

Here it is, the link about the original tweeter of the graphic. Not just white supremacist, but Nazi too… It’s almost too complete-- wonder if it’s a put-up job to trap Trump. Not that any of his fans seems to care about his utter disdain for truth. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/45291_We_Found_Where_Donald_Trumps_Black_Crimes_Graphic_Came_From

So here are the Trump headlines just this morning: Trump retweets inaccurate statistics about how many whites are murdered by blacks; he refuses to back down on his claim that “thousands and thousands” of people in Jersey City were cheering for the attack on 9/11; and he would bring back waterboarding.

Assuming he can nail down 30% of the Republican electorate with this, where do the other votes go?

Well it matches what he and his supporters think so it’s true as far as they are concerned.

Trump is really ruining it for all the other GOP Presidential candidates. He’s so overtly racist that his opponents’ slightly more subtle dog whistles just don’t cut the mustard in reaching out to the voters who drag their knuckles all the way to the polls.

Donald Trump: "Facts??? Bah, humbug!!!"

He just gets worse and worse. And all the talk about the GOP “establishment” cooperating to stop him? Bullshit. Ain’t gonna happen. Yes, he has 30% and that means 70% is somewhere else, but where are they? Carson? Rubio? Cruz?

He has stirred up some really polluted muck.

I don’t know where other GOP voters go. I think if there was an ‘anybody but Hillary’ choice on the ballot they would select it.

No passion in the GOP, except to persecute ‘the other’ at every juncture. For a group that says it can’t get enough Christ into the body politic, it never acts in a Christian way. Specifically, the Beatitudes and the Spiritual and Corporal Acts of Mercy (look them up) are guideposts for the decent treatment of human beings. Compare and contrast these words of Christ with those of Trump, Carson, Priebus… (You don’t have to accept the deity of Christ to appreciate these very powerful words)

Exactly! How dare the liberal media criticize these conservative factpinions and try to substitute them with facts! Everyone knows that truth has a liberal bias, so clearly it’s liberal bias to criticize Trump for not telling the truth!

So here’s my nomination for dumbest facebook comment ever; and I submit this comment with the absolute confidence that I will win this pissing contest. I challenge all of you. You ready for this? Here we go:

Donald Trump will get 15% of the Black vote.

The other 70% go to whomever gets the nomination. If it turns out to be Trump, tough nuggies for the civilized world. Trump’s mob has been around for a long time. Trump is just giving them arm bands. The Republican Party is one nasty smorgasbord, but they reliably vote as a conglomerate.

Every time Trump makes a dumb or offensive tweet, his interns automatically “assume the position”.

Wow - that whole “reset/big tent” isn’t working so well with The Donald as the GOP frontrunner, is it?

Offend Latinos - drug dealing rapists, Build-a-Wall, throws Univision out of presser - CHECK
Offend Women - Megan Kelly’s bleeding orifices, Fiorino’s appearance, sexually attracted to daughter - CHECK
Offend African Americans - applaud beating up BLM protester, retweets fake stats - CHECK
Offend Muslims - they are the new “They Who Must Be Feared” - CHECK

And the list could go on… only group he doesn’t seem hellbent on offending is LGBT, for now,…

Oh please, The Donald, be that 3rd party candidate!

What they will do to get elected they will do once elected. Trump, if elected, will not stop bullshitting and lying. That doesn’t set well with the fact that just about every problem America has today is rooted in bullshitting and lying.
