I'm not going to say that you can't have an opinion, but I will point it out as being extremely shallow, and in poor taste.

I often model my style on that of our president. It's the only way to reach those who support him.

Very good roll out of your programmed opinion. Any idea where that foul seed was planted? You seem beyond it, but perhaps others can be helped with the knowledge of what then to avoid.

Just following Trumpy's lead in keeping things at your level.
 
Hell to the yes!!!!

Then might you be able to give me an example of his racist speech?

It should be rather simple for you to quote something with how much evidence you claim exist. Correct?

When he argued that Mexico was not sending people like us, they were sending rapists and drugs and he assumed some good people, that was racist. When he argued that a Hispanic judge could not be fair to him because that judge was Hispanic, that was racist. When he tells minority Americans to go back to their countries, that is racist. One can easily go on with Trump. Now, if you want to rationalize all that, fine, go ahead. When you said you used to be a Bernie supporter, that alone makes me question your judgement.

Obviously you either pay zero attention to the news, Trump's tweets/rallies, or you do watch the news, read Trump's tweets/rallies,and are simply incapable of discerning what 1 plus 1 equals. Must be an Alabama affliction of sorts....kinda like advocating for a peadophile like Roy Moore to be elected.

As long as your opinion isn't touted as fact, that should be fine.

Here's where posters who continually claim as such keep getting this wrong. Just because you say something is racist, doesn't actually make it racist. There is a definition for this, for just such a reason.

Lets start with number one.

I can't help but notice you didn't supply anything.

So go ahead and keep running away. I'll let you go for now, seeing as someone actually rose to the call of an intellectual conversation.

Black people are not like us, the ones that come here are rapists and bringing drugs...... Sure, no racism there. :roll: You want to support Trump, fine, it's you right to do so, but own the fact you are supporting a bigot with a lifetime of racism behind him.

See, right there. I gave you a chance to explain the issue and instead you chose to attack, and deride.

If you can't do this honestly, then you should just not speak up at all.

He did not say "black people are not like us" did he?

I apply the same standard to the inane ramblings of your president. I trust you do too.

No, he said Mexicans aren't. Do you think it is only racist if someone says something about black people? When people ridicule your position, its often because your position is deserving of ridicule.

Cite it, or quote it.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

So you're just admitting that you misquoted the president, and lied about what he said.

Also, are you saying that only Mexicans are coming up from Mexico?

You are being intellectually dishonest and you know it.

How is that, seeing as you can't even directly quote him. I'm just as right to argue that you're the one being intellectually dishonest.

Because taking what he's said verbatim, and running to some pretty distant leaps in logic to make it fit with a certain narrative. Looks more than just a little shady in most respects.

Simple poll due to the comments he made over the weekend. Thoughts?

The people who think he is not racist, besides statements he has made that ARE RACIST, are those people who will believe the moon is made of cheese if he tells them the moon is made of cheese.

Are you going on record here at DP as claiming the word 'race' must be used in a sentence/quote for that sentence/quote to be a racist remark ? YES or NO will suffice...

Loaded question, but that is not the case here.
He doesn't mention anyone's race in his statement, does he?

You're trying to claim that what he said is racist. You must be able to supply a reason for "why" it's racist.
