I couldn't care less about the "rest" Trump doesn't like Megyn Kelly because she showed what a moron he was at the first debate I don't care what Trump thinks of Megyn Kelly.

Trump hates Mexicans because they're all drug dealers, pimps, and thieves. We should build a wall and make them pay for it.

You really don't see some quantum difference there?

I no longer care about this conversation.

I prefer the person who is doing less to harm people. If the sociopath is proposing worse shit than the fundamentalist, then I prefer the fundamentalist.

Jesus, this is one of the dumbest conversations I've ever had.

I'm not sure why what libertarian think tank you're borrowing this odd phrasing from, but it adds nothing to this conversation except obfuscation.

If you're aware that one set of people is getting systemically screwed and don't care or think anything should be done about it, you're bigoted against that group of people.

You want to be excused because you don't think you hate those people and are just being selfish. I don't give a fuck what's in your head and you don't get to feel better than your fellow travelers because you've found a way to paint yourself as a different stripe of asshole.

I have to agree with this. Trump scares me, but Cruz scares me more.

You agree with this specific example.

This is the VERY DEFINITION OF FUCKING RACISM: http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/22/politi...olice-retweet/

Everything he's ever said about Obama not being born here is racist bullshit. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donal...ry?id=33861832

His demands to see Obama's college transcripts are fucking racist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...sport-records/

His history with the Central Park 5 case (especially after they were completely cleared) is pure racism. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...-case-new-york

Whatever. This is stupid. Trump is a misogynist, racist, xenophobic piece of shit. If you don't think he's racist, then I guess I think you're an idiot.

I think part of his strategy is to bloviate racist, misogynistic, xenophobic stuff so much that it just becomes accepted. And anyone who complains is too PC and no fun.

Which is why this sewage spewing firehouse just isn't going to stop.

Today, in celebrating music Donald Trump doesn't want to hear, my favorite

U.S. based Khmer-pop music band, Dengue Fever..

If I were young and single, I would be all Atticus on Kim Possible where Chhom is concerned.

He does this stuff at least in part to signal dominance, that he is not bound by the conventions that ordinary politicians respect. Many people think he is teh awesome precisely because he is so willing to say unacceptable stuff.
