West Bend, Wisconsin:

As of the census[2] of 2010 The racial makeup of the city was 94.8% White, 1.0% African American, 0.4% Native American, 0.8% Asian, 1.4% from other races, and 1.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.9% of the population.

Good place for some interracial reach out…

Trump also published a post on Facebook Tuesday evening where he pledged to “reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all of its forms.”

Trump is Dick Nixon reincarnated, but without the charm.

“Peddling”, Caitlin. It’s not a bicycle.

Naw, this isn’t a pivot. Those are all big words the meanings of which he has no understanding of.

Plus, he probably plagiarized the phrase from somewhere (BHO, perhaps, following upon Melania’s example?).

Minorities know this is silly rhetoric.

“The African American community has been taken for granted for decades by the Democratic party.” This is true.

And the African American community has been demonized for decades by the Republican party.

They have no place to turn.

Bill Clinton was and is a racist as has been made clear by the policies he enacted. It is likely that Hillary “super predators” Clinton is, too.

But there are no other choices.

tRump: blacksplainin’ to “those people” who is really responsible for keeping them down, suppressing their vote, stealing their jobs.

He’s a regular brother, a real Bulworth. Give that man some rope and turn him loose!

I think the latest poll shows Trump getting 1% of the African-American vote, so there’s still room for him to move downward.

Ah yup, that’ll work.

But this isn’t “reaching out to black voters.” Every word of this speech is directed to whites: the dog whistles about law and order plus a few concern-trolling soundbites intended to make racists-with-some-conscience less uneasy about voting for him.

True. But Dr. Carson might be having an episode on Election Day, and forget to show up to the polls.

What a fucking coward. He needs to slam OBAMA’s “racial bigotry” to really score points.

As each day goes by that the Drumpfster Fire continues to burn and spew, I find myself becoming numb to the epic stupidity of Donnie. And more terrified of the percentage of the electorate that eats up his deranged rants.

Oh come on, they’ve had some zingers. Nowon cares about speling anymore. Yesterday’s headline about Trump putting the knife into the GOP heart was great!

As someone put it last night… He was talking about black people to an all white audience while pretending the audience was diverse. And I really can’t think of anything more asinine than when Republicans condescendingly tell black folks how we should feel about something. Just call us suckers and get it over with!

Wouldn’t Trump be whitesplainin’? Or, rather, orangesplainin’?
