    Trump is not a racist, but perhaps he is a bigot once in a while, but that's just his rhetorical style. He doesn't usually read from the teleprompter either, so we can't accuse him of being a stammering idiot like Obama!

    Firstly, if supporting Trump is guaranteeing a HRC win, then what choice do I have? They are THE two. I can support the opposition, or I can abstain or vote Libertarian again, which by default supports HRC.

    Secondly, I am not uncertain that you are a paid HRC shill.

    Thirdly, I think most everything Trump says is stupid, but I notice that it does not seem to matter. For instance, I thought it was stupid for him to have said he could shoot someone and still win. Now I believe he probably could.

    I will vote for whomever the front-runner against the democrats is, this time, because the pendulum must continue to swing. When it stops, this country is done.

    LOL. Yeah, who cares if your would-be President literally craps all over the Constitution as long as he's got a list of "good Constitution people."

    So your defense of Trump is that he's not a full blown racist...but is only "a bigot"?

    Are ya kidding?

    You got the first part right. Trump wants to go down in the history books. "Winning" will be whatever is best for him personally if we are to base his future on his past behavior. That may or may not be what is best for the country. Its too much of a gamble

    He sure changes his mind a lot for a bigot. Most dont even know what a bigot is. A bigots mind is set and no amount of reasoning can change it. That fits most of us in one way or another depending on the topic being most are so polarized. Take Clintons emails for instance. Ive yet to see one person here change their mind on that matter.

    Your degree of discernment is sorely lacking! Trump's style of speaking gives those who are craving an excuse to call him names an avenue.

    Everyone that knows him or has dealt with over the years swears he's not a racist. Of course there are race dividers like Obama and Clinton who have an agenda, and will lie about it like the rest of you libs!

    Trump may be critical of a certain ethnicity for good reasons.

    This is just getting weird.

    First we have a guy saying he's not really racist...he's "just" a bigot.

    Then we're told he's too confused to be a bigot.

    Then we're told that "everyone who knows him" says he's not a racist...it's just his "style".

    Phew....

    Please point out how Mr. Trump has "crapped" on the Constitution. He holds no office that allows such nore has he suggested such.

    We are all bigoted. You too Lesh. The trick is being able to navigate through human emotion and do the right thing and act rationally.

    I think Trump more rational than most.

    No, you totally miss my point. I might, I emphasize MIGHT, hold my nose and vote for Trump -- not on the basis of the justices he would appoint, but on the basis of the virtual certainty of the ones Hillary would appoint -- radical liberals shifting the balance on the court far to the left. Judges to whom constitutional mandates are mere suggestions to be changed at their whim.
    I do not like Trump. Except for Hillary, he is the worst candidate in history. (as you know, both of them are extremely unpopular). But we can't have 4 or 5 Clinton liberals appointed to the Court. That would destroy our constitutional republic.

    While it may be true that there is some bigotry in everyone...in a civilized society one learns to keep those abhorrent thoughts to themselves...not celebrate them...as Trump and his supporters seem to enjoy doing.

    And there's nothing 'rational' about Trump.

    If you meant cynical...you'd be accurate

    I don't want him to be, but will take that moron over the crook Hillary.

    Give us a better option that actually has a chance to get elected.

    You mean Hillary would nominate judges who aren't corporate shills like the four "conservatives'; on the bench now?

    Oh the horror

    - - - Updated - - -

    I keep hearing this 'crook" thing.

    And yet no one ever mentions what exactly is "crooked" about her.

    Apparently it's just word salad like "little hands" or "Lyin Ted"etc.

    "I am not uncertain that you are a paid HRC shill."
    You are kidding right? I consider Hillary Clinton to be unethical, dishonest, incompetent and a pathological liar. The FBI has spent thousands of agent man hours investigating her criminal misconduct. As some one who has worked thousands of cases with FBI agents over 30 years, I can tell you that they do not invest that kind of time in any investigation unless they know it has great prosecutive potential.
    That is not to say that Obama and Loretta Lynch could not kill an indictment -- but that would look bad, so I think there is a reasonably good chance that she will be indicted.

    I appreciate your Hobson's choice, I have the same one. But I'm very angry at Trump for being such a terrible candidate.

    You mean like liberals claiming all Republicans/Conservatives are racist and misogynists?

    Yea, you are probably right. Vince Foster actually DID shoot himself. Hillary was just that good at making money off cattle futures. I won't even bother with the whole bull(*)(*)(*)(*) thing with the email server and the handling of classified information.

    He is the Republican candidate. Not supporting him means supporting Hillary Clinton, the most corrupt, war-mongering, inept, Constitution-crapping woman on the earth. No thanks.

    The fact that so many are pulling their hair out and gnashing their teeth over Trump means they don't really understand what is going on, but that's ok.

    The unfortunate timing of your appearance on the forum along-side all the HRC paid troll-army shills posting thread after anti-Trump thread in this forum, along with the Trump-critical tone of your correspondence, had my BS detector vibrating. If I have misjudged you, my apoLOLogies. ;)

    I've never been a full-on Trump supporter, however, I must support whomever opposes the democrats and has any hope of prevailing, this time. Right now, Trump is that person.

    And again...where is this "corruption" you speak of?

    I've asked about 30 times and get nothing.

    Thinking like this is why both the major parties can continue to offer up horrible candidates and remain the top two parties.

    Lesh. I suppose that folks haven't answered you because it is already well documented. They likely are not showing you where the corruption is because of you have not seen it by now a few extra sources won't change your mind.
