More anti-Trump foolishness. They are grasping at straws with this one.

IF...IF...he asked them to swear a loyalty oath TO HIM, then yes, I would have issue with that

but is that what he said, or did he ask them to swear they would vote for him?

Either way, I see none of it as being in any way practical.

He has no way of knowing if they crawfished on their pledge or not, so why even ask them to do it?

Cheap theater?...or....a clever way to manipulate his enemies into saying so really stupid things in print and in public? He is not as dumb as everyone seems to think he is. He has been playing the left like a cheap toy, because they are oh so PREDICTABLE in their responses.

That I feel is more an accurate assessment of this whole "Nazi salute" thing. He has them wrapped around his little finger because he knows EXACTLY how they will respond.

EXACTLY as they always do, and completely predictable.

Spoken like a true Trumpy.

Which would imply he's playin' all y'all too.

What are you gonna do when you realize your hero just wanted to be president and has no plans or skills or knowledge or wisdom to perform the actual job?

I would be interested to see how many former investors would vote for him.

Of course you provided such, no one was expecting anything more.
I am glad you recognize that is all you provide.

I see blaming for something I do not do. Logical fallacy indeed, on your side that is.

No, that is what you did, as pointed out.

Where did I say or write or imply that Trump is to blame for the extreme right racist supporting him? I am stating a fact, nothing more and nothing else.

How the heck do you confuse your illogical "guilt by association argument" with that of blaming him for some so-called "extreme racist" supporting him?

Thank you again for showing that irrationality.

Every statement he's made about Latinos, blacks, muslims, prostesters - all evidence of bigotry so prevalent with the great unwashed.

As for the failures in life that are Trump supporters, well - don't you know - it's all the fault of those damned Latinos or Muslims or 'liberals' or blacks that we 'need to be made great again' - which essentially means 'lets get back to the days when white folks ran everything and our lives were so much better'. Ignorant and uneducated - perfect fodder for the demagogue. Hey, it worked for Hitler and Mussolini - maybe it will work for the draft dodging serial husband.

Do you know these statements he has made about Latinos, blacks, muslims??? Im still waiting for the specific statements you find issue with so that we can discuss them like rational adults.

As for the rest of your post, I find it funny you keep trying to attribute what you WANT Trump supporter's positions to be so that it makes it easier for you to attack.
Am I denying that there are a few Trump supporters out there who feel this way? No. Im sure every politician has some whackadoodle who has some extremist views. That doesn't make them the norm, it makes them, individually, idiots.

All the numbers spell disaster for Trump: Latest projections portend electoral doom for both the billionaire and Republicans in November


In short, Trump is extremely popular with his base, but deeply disliked by everyone else. Republican voters who have supported Cruz or Rubio or Kasich will not reliably unite behind Trump in November – that’s a problem for the GOP. Now that Cruz and Kasich are backing away from their pledge to support Trump if he wins the nomination, the landscape is even more challenging.

It’s worse if you extend the analysis to include the broader electorate. As The Washington Post reports, “If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times…Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.”

These are daunting numbers. There is no discernible path to the White House for Trump against this kind of resistance. In the 32 years the Washington Post-ABC News survey has been tracking candidates, no major-party nominee has produced unfavorability scores like this. ………

Trump is Dead?............. I’ve hear that one before

Hmm

Did Trump ask supporters to raise their right hand? Yes
Did Trump ask supporters to pledge to vote for him? Yes

That looks like a Nazi like salute to me.

Now one could also argue it was a Roman salute, but the Nazi argument hits home much better now days.

So like it or not, what Trump did was idiotic and of course his critics will jump on him for doing so.

Yeah, and if "political sophistication" exists we can be sure that Trump doesn't have it.

His campaign press release last night was sooo stupid.

I don't think all Trump voters are Nazis or KKK sympathizers. But a number of them are.

You may not be a Nazi, but your lack of correct punctuation fits right in with a lower education voter supporting Trump.

Ex-ADL Chief Foxman: Trump Made Supporters Give Him Nazi Salute
Now they are trying to say Trump wants all of his supporters to give the Nazi salute and swear they will vote for him. This is a not-so-veiled " just like Hitler " analogy people so much love to use against anyone they do not like. I see it as a desperate act of some drowning in the fact they KNOW they are going to loose the election, so all similance of decorum can be tossed aside now. Next week in the grocery line I will read where he gets his orders from space aliens living in the Trump tower. Break out your tin foil hats, people. All bets are off now when it comes to Trump stories. " Trump was a Nazi genetically engineered baby "....film at 11.

That with show of hands is being compared to Nazis demonstrates yet again that the Death of the Grownup is an actual fact.

And what makes it worse is that it's now happening on both sides. Here's a woman who claims to be a conservative making up a 'Blacklist' of Trump supporters. https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/03/blackballing-those-who-endorse-trump
