i feel like he's just a male Sarah Palin, but gets more respect for no good reason.

I especially liked the comment about the holiday weekend "(one celebrated by most patriotic Americans...)"
ONLY FILTHY FLAG BURNERS WERE POLLED THEREFORE INVALID

i wonder what she did to celebrate Memorial Day other than sit outside and eat some burgers.
Palin got stumped and looked like she had no clue what was going on. Trump is the same but he never looks stumped. He just deflects and takes control of an interview. If he says something stupid and it pops up later on he just denies he said it with conviction and moves on.

Trump is the politician most disliked by people of color anywhere.
"These gaffes have no effect!" people have no observation skills.

Yup, his bullshit with flop spectacularly in the much more diverse general election.
These same people will be shocked and awed how he lost despite his success in the GOP primaries (decided by racists).
In November, when the journalists are done propping this circus up and the people have spoken, there will be article after article about how demographics doomed Trump all along, and those of us who've maintained some common sense throughout this ordeal will say "No shit, Sherlock".
The video I watched touched on how he knows how to manipulate the media and people due to his reality tv experience. In other words, people are simply entertained because he knows how to entertain. As you can tell by GAF and the amount of threads about him....he obviously does. Still a piece of shit.
Republican mods please don't ban me.

Yeah, and the GOP will do one great big pivot and collectively disown him, hoping that everyone will forget that they already did a massive pivot to get behind him after months of calling him a sociopath.
It really is amazing how little history people know. It really is astonishing.
The natural equilibrium of the two-party system and the inevitable downturn of a fairly cyclical economy makes your statement unlikely at best.

Until of course we read the page six articles about how crazy xenophobes whipped up by a Trump candidacy have ridden this wave at the local/state government level and have somehow made life even more intolerable for marginalized communities. Then we'll know how insidious the damage from Trumps rhetorical Johnny Racistseed tour is long after we've pushed him away from the White House with a howitzer.

I consider anyone voting for him just as racist and xenophobic as he is.
Nah. Trump is going to get destroyed...
He just did it again. Someone should potty train him.

God damn, Ana Navarro just roasted Trump on CNN. Have to give her huge ass credit. That was awesome to watch, someone stepping up.

I thibj scary part about this whole election is that who ever wins could ignite a civil war with how deep the lines between the conservatives and liberals are now.

I just saw that. Oh my goodness. You could see the pure emotion.
Donald Trump is taking every minority in his party, spitting on them, and expecting them to vote for him. When Anna Navarro, Miss Republican Party Line, can't spin it away, you've dun goofed. The guy tried the "I'm voting against Hillary, not for Trump" bullshit, and she wasn't having it at all.

Wow, she is a Republican? Even more respect for her. Can't believe I'd say that to a Republican.
Fair assumption. Maybe not always true, but statistically likely as far as i can tell

yeah she headed McCain's Hispanic Advisory Committee when he ran and was a top staffer for John Huntsman iirc.
They don't hate the good ones. AKA the rich ones especially those that look down on other and their own minority.

See that's the thing... They hate them too.
Well they certainly feel superior to them. Might depend on the person but you're probably right.

Or November 2024 if things go really bad.
As of right now, he's not doing anything he hasn't been doing before. Nothing we haven't seen at various points in history (no matter how sad in 2016 it is). Nothing that isn't already there.
That is why it is so important for whoever (almost 100% Hilary at this point) to crush him utterly in the GE (she's gonna), and through him, the people he stands for. Make those people realize that a candidate that represents that hate and that prejudice has no place in the GE and never will. Make them feel disenfranchised and hopeless and unable to be "properly" represented by a presidential candidate ever again (unless they stop being so horribly bigoted, but I won't hold my breath there).
That'd be the best possible outcome at this point. Make them feel defeated and then they can retreat back into their holes and leave the innocents alone.

I'd say they're still deep in their "the only vote that matters is the white male vote" bubble.

Would anything change if Trump straight up used the N-word onstage?

It's getting really annoying, frankly. Just because your dad likes "some of the things he says" doesn't mean he's driving this moderating force that can sweep him into the White House. Might just mean that your dad is an asshole, AND that you're assuming minorities won't vote.
That might be the most polarizing moment if it happened. Supporters who are too entrenched would have to dig deeper to support him, while others are driven back to the 'middle' until they can watch enough Fox News debates on how "white people should be able to say the n-word, too!"
I seriously doubt it. The Trump defenders would be in that thread talking about how the word is mainstream now as it's in lots of music and said as a sign of friendship between two people.
Also this.

I see Trump is letting us know whites will be owning us again when he gets elected.
Thanks Trump for at least letting us know a head of time!

I fully expect him to allude to Chris Rock's retired Blacks vs Niggas bit at some point.

Trump shouldn't be telling stories about racists getting attacked at his rally's, he's gonna scare away most of his supporters!

Trump's hit a point where I really don't think it would matter. Would him saying that make him any worse than he already is?

Who said anything about trump?
Soon enough we'll get a reference to coloured brother/sister.
Not substantively, but it would be so explicit that it'd be very difficult for those voters trying to rationalize Trump to themselves.
