    yeah, the difference between me and Mathloom is that I'll be busy paying my California state taxes and federal taxes to fund the prison state, though somehow me bringing up that the prison state is a legitimate bipartisan cause for BLM, and a policy grievance against Trump (lol) and is quite s**t for all involved is "anti-American".

    Though with that mind of yours, I'm not surprised your defense mechanisms are so weak.

    I will have a great time tonight--cheers! :)

    What dehumanizing language did Trump repeatedly use towards Black people?

    It did continue - both in housing where he got in trouble with the Justice Department over continuing efforts to refuse blacks housing.

    He also admitted that a book that included racist quotes (such as not wanting blacks to count his money) were probably true.

    There are too many incidents that you can find out for yourself - don't be lazy and make other people into your research assistants. It's all out there on the internet.

    You make the claim.
    You should back up YOUR claim.

    I was referring to your use of the word 'hooligan.' Are you really trying to understand the motivations of BLM protesters if you are making assumptions about their character and motivations in your descriptors you use to identify them? It tells me (and everybody) that your questions are rhetorical and you won't really be thinking about any answers you get. So why offer you a real answer?

    It also annoys me to see anti-Trumps dismiss Trump supporters as racists. That's another way to shut down conversation and not listen to arguments to support Trump. "Can someone please explain to me while all those racist assholes want that other racist ******* as president?" is not a genuine question. It makes me cringe. There are real social forces at play here that make Trump's message resonate with people, and you can't understand it if you simply dismiss it as racism (even if racism is part of the answer).

    So my advice is to refer to BLM protesters (and Trump supporters) as people. Think of them as rational actors. Listen to what they actually say and figure out how it is they are right instead of how they're wrong. Once you figure out how they are right, then you can figure out why they are wrong.

    At least he was smart enough to not be cornered into saying he would use nukes.

    the other answer that could've worked would have been "no, we won't use nukes."

    Holy crap. His whole policy on anything is to not have a policy. His every answer is to give no answer.

    And people like his "straight talk," and "calling it like he sees it." That works... if he's completely legally blind.

    Why would you tell the enemy "no, we won't use nukes" :confused:

    I don't want to use nuclear, I don't want to start the process of nuclear...

    Wow, there are a lot of really good looking people on this forum! Can I just wander around so I can see who the hell I'm talking to?

    He's gaining steam. I love the other nominees arguments against him about his lack of following compared to theirs when they are even lower.

    I will agree that both Cruz and Kasich are better candidates for a presidential positions, but they need to find a new argument.

    Cruz is starting to join Trump in these "Extreme" statements to garner some vote. He is a smart guy trying to grab all those Trump supporters who are on the fence.

    No, I've followed politics a long time. I can never remember another "hey! look at that guy in the red hat!" as an answer to a hard question. Not even close.

    That interview with the WaPo was just an abomination. Joe the Plumber would have sounded more coherent.
