    Exactly. Classic case of CNN trying to trap Trump and then suggest to everybody that he's racist.

    Calling people racist has become the liberals favorite thing to do.

    The problem, if you believe him, is then that he doesn't know who David Duke is. How can you be President and not know basic things like that?

    The media is working hard to stump the Trump. They will go as far as blatantly lie and deceit. Under Trump it will be easier to sue the media for slander.

    Politically aware? Guess what, Trump isn't a politician. He's winning because he's not a politican. He's an outsider and that's what people want. Congrats, you played yourself.

    I don't think it surprises anyone that Trump has the white racist vote on lock. He's generally a hateful person and other hateful people are likely drawn to him as a result.

    It used to be called Operation Mockingbird, wonder what it's called now.

    Yea, you don't have to be politically aware to know David Duke. I wasn't at all interested in politic at the time, but I was well aware of David Duke because of the massive international news coverage of his run for Governor of LA.

    Hard to believe Trump was both politically and socially deaf.

    Trump now quoting Mussollini:

    It is obvious he wasn't willing to say that this morning on CNN because he is aware that a large amount of his base are white supremacists and pro-KKK.

    I mean like have ever read a newspaper, numb nuts. Not "beltway insider."

    Like, aware of what the hell is going on in your country and society. David Duke is not an obscure figure, and I don't believe for one second that Trump doesn't know who that is.

    This whole issue is trivial, however. The media should be demanding actual policy positions from the guy, beyond "look at that guy in the red hat!" For all they know, conservatives are about to run a liberal for president.

    EDIT: Holy crap. I've been comparing the dude to Il Duce, but to flagrantly welcome the comparisons? I guess you just trade the hairpiece for a hat. It's the same schtick.

    Um, if you don't like journalists, ignore them.

    We need freedom of the press to be America. Instigating backlash against the media, and stating you want to weaken the laws that protect them is making us less and less American. Hint: Rush Limbaugh is part of the media. Do you want the government to be able to sue him and shut him down? Hannity? No, you don't.

    Christ, this country is getting freaking scary, in the worst way.

    Trump is dangerous.

    Who here is supporting him? I haven't really paid too much attention until I started looking more at things Trump has said recently.
