This is a perfect example of the backfire effect. Trump supporters feel threatened and ashamed that their preferred candidate turned out to be a racist so instead of repudiating him as a normal person would they feel the need to prove he isn't even harder. The more overwhelming the evidence the harder they fight.

Kinda like the overwhelming evidence that Hillbilly is a corrupt racist sexist?

But I'm one of those wild indians off the reservation.

If by inescapable he means by definition impossible then I totally agree. Mexican isn't a race and Trump didn't say anybody was inferior to anybody else.

Race is a social construct that has meant many different things over time and racism isn't restricted to such a narrow definition. Unless you consider similar statements against Jews and Chinese in the past to not be racist you should stop using such a stupid argument.

I thought you were ignoring me anyway? You're so thirsty.
 
We're entering a time where the polls are the only thing that matters.
Benghazi, emails, servers, Hispanic judges, bigotry, only matters with how it drives the polls.
We'll see if emails matter, walls matter, Muslims matter, servers matter.
I always thought Trump could pull this off, but not any more.
Invision Warren, Sanders, Biden, Obama, not to mention Hillary all piling on Donald.
Then imagine as many republicans, especially establishment republicans, coming to Trump's defense?
I don't see that happening.
Even now it is painful watching establishment republicans and republican Trump supports up there trying to defend Donald. They can't.
They shake their head and say "WELL, IF TRUMP DOES THIS OR IF TRUMP DOES THAT HE WILL BE OK".
And you can see it in their face. They know Trump changing his colors would be very unlikely.
And then you have those republicans that call Donald's bigotry simply "taking his words out of context". Usually those involved with the Trump campaign.

All of this is not only ammo for Warren, Biden, Sanders, Obama and Hillary to use against Trump, it is nuclear
ammunition.
Hillary can simply sit back and watch the fun take place.

If race is a social construct than depending on your particular environment and the people you identify with, racism can be anything or nonexistent, If you are going to be flexible in your definition that opens the door to me being flexible too. It becomes perfectly logical, in my opinion then, to say that Mexican is not a race and people who call it such are manufacturing racism out of thin air.

I am ignoring this person but every once in a while he gets quoted.

I personally find "Indians" jarring but a lot of Native Americans actually prefer to be called American Indians. Last I was aware, more than the number who prefer to be called Native Americans. It's kind of an awkward situation.

Not at all.

Feeling bad for supporting somebody under criminal investigation for putting US intelligence at risk because her vanity?

Feel bad for supporting somebody whose husband raked in 16.5mm while giving access to State Dept grants?

Feel bad for supporting a woman who gave a seat on a nuclear weapons advisor who had absolutely 0 experience or business being in that position, merely because he was a huge donor, ohh, and an HFT trader (nice 'Street link).

I mean, really, you want to toss around PC Identity politics and scream *ism all day while your entire country is being sold by a whore and her husband who fucked 2,000 women and probably raped a few, at least that's what they allege.

But you don't care about that. Scream *ism a few more times and you'll feel better about your shitty decision.

I'm not the one leading the country down a pc identity politics hell hole.

You know damn well that when people oppose hillary, if she becomes President, or say she's doing a terrible job, the left will defend her rabidly and claim sexism. She could be caught bribing every MD at Goldman for a job afterwards and you guys would cry *ism. You've done it for the last 8 years and your penchant for identity politics won't stop you in the next 8 years.

I mean, look how fucking pathetically your team attacked Sanders. "Hey, you're sexist for staying in the race". An old Jewish communist. Yeah, he's such a sexist. But he standing in her way.

Wait... so what is Trump who has already been caught bribing officials? He's... better somehow?

But hey, best of luck to you and yours. You do what you think is best for you.
