    My biggest fear is that those who are upset about their "guy" not winning the nomination chose to stay home. That would give the complete and utter fools who make up the supporters of Donald Trump the last laugh, and hand the country a catastrophe.

    I find it difficult to believe you actually believe that. Please tell me that you're having us on! That sounds like the ranting of a fringe lunatic, with all due respect.

    He probably did. But even if you give him the benefit of the doubt:

    1. Be more effing aware of how you talk. How long is it going to take for him to be in the spotlight and learn such a simple concept?

    2. It's pretty sad that he can find and point out the one Black guy in the crowd. Says something about his appeal

    3. It's still offensive and condescending to point out one guy based simply on his race and then call him "the greatest" based on two simple facts of being present and being Black

    I think he had a slip of the tongue - I doubt he was implying ownership of the guy. But he is comically unaware of himself. Actually it would be comical if his existence wasn't going to force me to vote for Hillary.

    Those people are saying Trump's comment is offensive are the same people who didn't have any problem with Clinton being on stage with a guy who used the term "colored people time"

    You are right it is terrible in northern Europe. Every dat I pray to some higher Powerto safe me from this place..

    We have no freedom. I am told each day by the government what I can think. It is horrible.

    But then i remember we do not have Trump as the possible next president.

    Aside from that remark by Trump, we can look at his comments about the judge. Trump has claimed that BECAUSE OF HIS MEXICAN HERITAGE he isn't able to perform his duty as a Federal Judge.

    To claim a guy's ethnicity prevents them from performing their job seems to be bigoted almost by the very definition.

    I don't expect you to have any condemnation of Trump for his bigoted statements. The only thing left to see, is if you can somehow redeem yourself after your support for such a dishonest, spreader of bigotry.

    In the future we'll request the media not report what Trump says but rather what you thought he meant to say.

    ^^ trying to paint Hilldog as a bigger bigot than Trump is a losing campaign strategy :(

    I do enjoy bigtexx's irrelevance as he struggles to defend his new bff and candidate. It will make for a fun eight years seeing him rant the same complaints about Hillary as he did about Obama. :grin:

    Trump hasn't made as bad a comment against a group as this one from Clinton.

    I cannot support Clinton's bigoted statement against Indians.

    Definitively not as bad as making up a story that incriminates thousands of Muslim Americans celebrating 9/11.

    Are there even 'thousands upon thousands' of Muslims in Jersey? Can you imagine a Trump supporter in Jersey now. Probably thinks every Muslim he or she meets in Jersey is 9/11 supporter and secret terrorist. Do you think those Muslims who are perfectly fine American citizens in Jersey deserve that type of lack of trust and bigotry placed upon them? DO they really deserve that?


    ^^^
    That is what Trump bigotry accomplishes.

    It is true that Muslims celebrated 9/11 in the Western world, e.g. in Denmark, even if not in Jersey.

    I still think Trump is dangerous. I'd never want this guy to be in control of the US nuclear weapons arsenal. Scary thought. I dislike Hillary, but she is the lesser of two evils.

    Your newfound concern for bigotry towards Indians is noted.

    But since this is a discussion thread about Donald Trump, who appears to be the one you will vote for President, what is your opinion on his offensive statements? Do you find them offensive?
