    Not surprised about that.

    I am reading that most of the Trump supporters come from the middleclass, which suffered and lost a lot from the financial crisis.
    Their misbelief of any traditional politician is so immense that they go for a clown such as him.

    Not sure how they could say that Trump " is one of them"

    To me he's a narcist egoist who has no control about what he says and what he does ( so he's a bit like TP and myself :D )
    If he became president, he'd do what serves himself most, he'd care a sh*t about the poor middleclass- just like he cares about anyone else :v

    im afraid Trump ,as much of a buffoon that he is ,likeable but a buffoon, has similar parallels as Adolf Hitler ,now before you all start shooting me ,Hitler was a product of an era where the population was not being listened to by the powers that be .Then along comes Adolf ,"I can save you from this and that and them ,and before you know it ,we have a mad man running the show ,
    Now fast forward history 70 odd years ,we have a population losing ,jobs housing ,investments, their way of life ,and along comes
    the very enigmatic Trump who says ,I can save you from this that and them ,and as the current powers that be ,are not listening to
    the population ,we have a situation where they are now talking of high walls and machine gun towers ,sound familiar
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Just learnt this morning that Trump refused to disavow the KKK ! :o WTF !
    ( on a Sky, news discussion )

    So that puts him in the same league as the ACLU?

    Not being an American, I had to look them up. Fair enough free speech and all that but if I was
    Asked about them, I'd happily disavow them, same with the Nazi's or ISIS. If asked I could easily
    Call them all scum bags, no problem at all. Anyone who can't ............ I'd be very worried about.

    Trump may be bad.

    But does anyone really rather have Ted Cruz as President? Or Rubio? They are on many topics much more harsh and conservative than Trump.
    Ted Cruz I would even consider as dangerous.

    Not sure if or how one can access it online, but John Oliver did an epic takedown of Trump on his show "Last Week Tonight" this past Sunday. It is raucously funny, viscerally angry and right on the bulls-eye. I encourage everyone to find it and watch, if they can. Only when this man is exposed as the phony he is will we be safe...unless, of course, he is occupying the White House by then, in which case we will never be safe. :#

    If you're referring to the "quote" that Trump retweeted, that wasn't Mussolini. A Gawker staffer created a parody Twitter account called "Il Duce" and sent the quote to Trump.

    From Justin Raimondo at antiwar.com:

    On June 14, 1918, a nineteen year old Italian soldier by the name of Bernardo Vicario was ordered by his commander, Carl Rigoli, to carry out a curious task. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Italian forces would soon be hit with a furious bombardment that would mean the death of most of them. Rigoli clearly knew this, which is why he told young Bernardo to write an inscription on the ruined wall of a home in the village of Fagare, where they were holed up:

    “Better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep.”

    Rigoli perished in the battle: Bernardo lived to tell the tale.

    Everybody knows that I support the democrat candidates but what the hell is wrong with Hillary?

    Every time that I see her receiving the ovations, she stands there with a frozen face ( probably Botox??) but what is even worse, she does not move her head sideways but her eyes.

    Really creepy imo - even compared to what we have to suffer when we looks at Drumpf's head :o :o

    Where to start?



    Do they have TV sets at CNN? An Internet connection? I don’t work at a television network, but I saw Trump “disavow” David Duke a half-dozen times before Jake Tapper asked him to disavow Duke again last Sunday.

    The question served absolutely no journalistic purpose. No new information was sought. It was just a smear, for the sole purpose of getting the words “KKK” into the same sentence as “Donald Trump.”

    Unsuspecting viewers who missed Trump’s earlier disavowals are supposed to think, Is Trump connected with the Klan? Why else would they be asking him about David Duke?

    Given that Trump did disavow Duke the day before the Tapper interview, the only explanation for his refusal to do it again is that he was ticked off by the question and decided not to play ball.

    How many times must Trump waste precious airtime “disavowing” some random person he doesn’t know, has never met and never mentioned?

    David Duke IS a random person: The KKK has not been an organization of any significance since the mid-’60s (outside of Southern Poverty Law Center fundraisers), and David Duke hasn’t been a member of this meaningless group since 1980.

    Also, David Duke has never been accused of rape. Hillary’s most prominent supporter has. Will she be asked to disavow Bill Clinton?

    If she doesn’t think her husband raped Juanita Broaddrick, how about the sexual assaults claimed by Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Christy Zercher, Eileen Wellstone, Carolyn Moffet, Elizabeth Ward Gracen and Sandra Allen James, as well as a half-dozen other women?

    Does Hillary believe any of her husband’s accusers? How many sexual assault accusations must there be before she disavows him?

    As far as I know, David Duke has also never supported cop-killing. Boatloads of Hillary’s supporters do — and she plays footsie with them by endorsing #BlackLivesMatter.

    I will give Hillary the benefit of the doubt, and say I do not believe that she personally supports cop-killing. But why is she seeking the votes of murderous thugs? What kind of campaign is she running that attracts such people? Will she disavow them? Is she willing to state forthrightly that cops’ lives matter?

    I am not aware of David Duke ever inciting a mob that went on to commit murder. Al Sharpton has — and no Democrat can run for president without kissing his ring.

    More than a decade after Duke quit the KKK, Sharpton inflamed anti-Semitic mobs in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights — mobs that were four or five times larger than the entire national KKK membership — fueling several more days of riots, during which a man, whom the crowd believed to be Jewish, was murdered.

    In December 1995, Sharpton led anti-Semitic protests against a Jewish-owned clothing store in Harlem, Freddy’s Fashion Mart, which ended with a protestor bursting into the store and setting a blaze that killed seven employees.

    In 1989, Sharpton libeled innocent law enforcement officers in the Tawana Brawley rape hoax — resulting in a libel judgment against him. Then in 1990, a Sharpton-led mob screamed “Whore!” at a rape victim and roughed up cameramen outside the trial of the Central Park rapists (who were guilty).

    Sharpton isn’t some random nut Hillary and Bernie have vaguely heard of. Two weeks ago, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) publicly met with Sharpton to ask for his blessing. Hillary will be making the same pilgrimage soon. My advice is, bring your checkbook.

    David Duke doesn’t speak at Republican national conventions; Sharpton was given a prominent speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention less than a decade after his demagoguery outside Freddy’s ended in the deaths of seven innocent people (this was also a quarter century after Duke left the Klan).

    Duke isn’t invited to the White House to advise Republican presidents. Sharpton has officially visited Obama’s White House at least 72 times.

    Duke has never been given a TV show where he gets to ask questions of elected officials. Guess who was?

    In fact, now that I think about it, Duke has no connection to any GOP official whatsoever!

    When David Duke is invited to give a prime-time address at the Republican National Convention, maybe the media can ask Republican candidates to “disavow” him. Until then, how about asking the Democrats about their supporters?

    Bill Clinton is hardly a Saint but comparing him to David Duke and his racist ideology is - just wrong again :D
    You may belittle the KKK influence in present society rightly, but their agenda is still sick, racist and dangerous!

    Odd that US conservatives highlight the moral background of Democrat Candidates while "forgetting" the crimes against humanity in the GWB age and about the entire Trump agenda :D

    What if... Trump is a closet Liberal (just look at who his Wife is... wowza), and he's playing his game to win. And his plan is to crush the Republican party with one swift blow to FORCE it to rebuild from scratch into a party of Humanitarian LEADERS again (which it one was). He wants to force Hillary upon us (a bitter pill I grant you, but sometimes the cure is harsh) to create a new future in the next decade.
    In losing, he will ultimately win.
    He's not unlike Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, playing the Penthouse Urchin to conceal his nobility.
