    My home planet is earth. Yours seems to be fantasyland.

    Hypothetically, if when told that David Duke supported him, Drumpf would have said, "I don't support him or the KKK's racist viewpoints, but his constitutionally-protected right to free speech guarantees him the ability to support and vote for whomever he so chooses," does anyone think that would have been considered a tacit acceptance of racism?

    I'd say that would have been a good answer and would have resolved the matter.

    Maybe Duke is a Super PAC.

    More from that link.

    http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...supremacist-who-endorsed-donald-trump-n528141

    "David Duke still portrays himself as a white nationalist hero, but the fact is he hasn't done anything political in years," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a watchdog group that monitors racist groups. "Duke's having a moment in the news now, and he needs this. In the white supremacist world, he's seen as an opportunist, someone who is living off the movement."

    Marilyn Mayo of the Anti-Defamation League, which has also kept close tabs on Duke for many years, said Trump has done something Duke has been unable to do, which is "energize the white supremacist movement."

    "They don't see Trump as a white nationalist, but he is mainstreaming some of the issues they hold dear, like keeping Mexicans and Muslims out of the country," said Mayo. "He's become a voice for some of their views."

    (I agree with all that)

    That is bullshit Denny. It is your failure to understand that is showing. Many Hispanics agree with Trump and immigration law enforcement.

    Hell the American Hispanics are probably hurt more by the illegals than most.

    Then around 70% of Americans agree with Trump's position on the Muslims, but I will let you look that up.

    So, if the KKK holds or agrees with any position, it is automatically wrong?

    Well you do the math. The KKK is a real small percent, decimal places like. That still leave around 30% that don't understand prudence and 70 that do.

    Of course not.

    They might like lower taxes. That's not a bad thing.

    They might like ObamaCare (for whites only!). that's not a good thing for anyone :)

    So why is it relevant to point out that the KKK would agree with Drumpf's position on Muslims?

    Lots of people endorse any of the candidates. Too many for them to know each and every one. If Drumpf's position on Muslims attracts the KKK (it does), then it does.

    It's HIS position. HE attracts the KKK. It really is up to him to renounce them.

    This is not atypical of campaigns. Lots of them have the worst of society donate or endorse them. In many cases, democrats are involved:
