    When the left pulls out the race card it means they are desperate.

    reagan racist bush racist dole racist bush v2 racist mccain racist romney racist Trump racist.

    I have no doubt the next 10 republican candidates including jesus christ himself if he were to run for president would be called racist by the left.

    What they don't understand is that words have power. Once you use a word over and over again it loses its meaning and power.

    (on a tangential point this is why trump picked low energy, lying , and crooked for his monikers. It is because they have not been used in a political context before. For example empty your mind and think of low energy. If your a political minded person I guarantee you the first person you think of is jeb.)

    Amazing how the left says this about every Republican.

    This is how "progressive" progressives really are. All they rely on is talking points and name calling.

    Devoid of any meaningful ideas.

    I do not think he is racist, but I do think he wants the racists vote

    There is no such thing as a 'non-racist'. Every person on the planet has some level of racial bias, conscious or unconscious. Denying it is merely untrue. Funny thing is that lib/progs do not even understand or use the term 'racist' correctly. They seem to think that any reference to a race, even under scientific or descriptive nature is 'racist'. Not very smart at all. It is the argument lib/progs promote when they have no other logical thing to say.

    If he is proven guilty of inciting racism which leads to murder, he should be be regarded as an accessory to murder.

    If the legalities of a given American state provide for execution for such a crime, then so be it.

    I am against the death penalty, but it is not for anti-racists like me to get in the way of our great American laws.

    Personally, I would prefer that he be shipped off to our key ally Saudi Arabia for trial in respect of his Islamophobia. Failing that, Mexico.

    You're not alone.

    The Justice Department thought so too, and dragged him into court.

    He signed a consent decree.

    Then they dragged him back into court for violating it.

    Sorry, all you Trumpster, but Trump has a record, and denial, and claiming that the racist charge is levelled at every Republican won't hide it.

    So, you have nothing, so you just make up nonsense and spew it out.

    Of course to a "progressive", everyone with an "R" is racist. It is taken with a grain of salt. Libs always tell everyone not to put labels on people. What extreme hypocrites they are. They are so afraid of Trump winning that they have to pigeonhole people and call names. Perhaps they should take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror and check out just how intolerant, angry and mean they really are.

    I'm not sure if he or any republican President is a racist or not, but trumpette and the others sure know that have to play to the right base, which is (*)(*)(*)(*)-a-block full of idiot racists.

    I'll say this, nixon was clearly a racist, and saint ronnie raygun was as well.
    The bush losers? Think they are just stupid.

    Trumpette is playing his sheep for as much as he can get.

    Seems to me the people who keep bringing a persons skin color into situations where there isnt any are the real racists. I would insert a link to your thread as an example but we are already here. That tattered race card is a sign of desperation here on PF. Please keep throwing it, it helps us sort.

    One wonders why the left is so race obsessed and why do they want to separate everyone with race identity?

    Certainly with that White Skin he is suspect. All "non-racists" know that white guys are generally to be looked down upon and viewed with suspicion!

    I do not know if Trump is a racist. I know he makes statements that are racist. Does that make him one? If it does then we are all racist and it just shows how blown up and politicized racism has become.

    I define racism by actions not by words.
    We do victims of true racism a great disfavor when we choose to use it as a tool.

    Is Trump a racist? Perhaps
    Are there those who wish him to be? Definitely

    To prefer certain races over other races is just being a human. Humans have preferences, thus they will have less favorites in every aspect of life. To deny this is to lie to yourself.

    There are links at the top of the thread.

    Yes, i do have opinion based more on empirical evidence than anything else.

    On the subject of links. I know i am against the grain but i rarely use them to back my own opinion. What i will do is seek information on an opposing view independent of that which is given. To my way of thinking if i care enough to educate myself on another point of view i will do my own research. That comes, i believe from a keen sense of objectivity on nearly any topic.

    Trump may or not be a racist, but he panders to racists. Thus, his public endorsements by neo-nazis and white supremacists organizations.

    Decent Republicans bemoan this ugly infestation of their Party. After Willard's defeat in 2012, they were planning initiatives to attract the diverse American populace to their 90% White enclave, but the show business performer has sabotaged that existential necessity to democratize.

    Conservative scholar Robert Kagan nails the demagogical media celebrity:

    So you don't need proof to back your opinion. That means your opinion is as valid as your proof.

    They all want the racist vote. Just won't admit it. Dems pander to their racists supporters but the left sees no problem with that.

    Correct, "I" do not need proof. "I" have no desire to cater to your needs. I am not even certain as to what you are asking for.

    I suspect you are asking for something that shows Trump making racist remarks. The OP has already done that. As i have already stated words alone are not enough.
    OR, are you asking for clips that show Trump is not making racist remarks? We both know how silly that is.
