    Its not just one thing its a whole list of things that make it so. He has been sued multiple times, and lost, for discrimination with renting practices. He took out full page adds in the NYTs saying that the Central Park Five should be executed in the 80s. How many Black athletes with political stances has he attacked on twitter, how many white athletes with political agendas has he attack on twitter in comparison? I could go on but its much easier to just leave this here https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/every-moment-donald-trumps-long-complicated-history-race
    You can say all you want that its a trap people fall into, an easy out, to call someone a racist but just remember that in some cases its true.

    Right but then I can counter the athlete claim with the percentage of athletes that are black, way outnumbers white people and also happens to be in the most popular sports in the states being the NBA and NFL. Look, I don't know if he is actually racist but you could also point to people he has talked good about who are black in his past and present. Who really knows but to just run off and say these people are racist without a shadow of a doubt just waters the word down. These days you can be racist for anything because racist means nothing anymore. It's just been used and so out of hand.

    He sure didn't call out Steve Kerr or Greg Popovich......both who took him to task on record...Trump doesn't get to insult everybody daily on twitter just because they don't like or trust him...president's should set an example of good behavior...he's failed across the board and doesn't seem to care...who's he praised? Dictators ….give me a break....bullshit can expect to be called bullshit by any person finding him offensive...and there are many of us. Trumps father was a raging racist...Trump learned the slumlord technique of looking down on people at a very young age...not just because of race...but mostly because of their poverty. He's been in the news since the 70s....this is not a current fad

    I’m not saying it’s okay for him to go insult people. It’s childish and silly. Trumps dad being a racist doesn’t surprise me because well, there are still a lot of old racists. Here’s your list right here

    https://www.amny.com/entertainment/trump-celebrity-twitter-feuds-1.13426669

    De Niro is in there. Jimmy Fallon, Alec Baldwin, Kathy griffin, Rosie o Donnel, Marc Cuban, Meryl Streep, etc. the list goes on. People try too hard to make this a racial thing. It’s not. He attacks people who have criticisms about him. That’s it. I’m not saying that’s okay but it’s definitely not a racist thing unless the context within the tweet is actually racist. That’s all I’m saying. People need to slow down calling others racists for the simplest of things.

    Cup, I heard her say it with my own ears a couple years back on MSNBC when they had her talking to a bunch of wall street people.

    I have no idea what was said, what you heard or what context it was said in, but that's not what her philosophy paints on her website so it seems more realistic to go off something that is readily available and to be able to read. I have never heard anyone push for the borders to be completely open with the ability to come and go as they please like you said.

    Naw, she will never run again. We can only hope that trump is either impeached or voted out in 2020.

    Would be interesting to see how many more votes she got than Trumpy the second time around. It was around 3,000,000 last time. Maybe 5/6 million I assume.

    as long as the candidate is moderate right or left and not a devout socialist that wants to do away with constitution and grow the huge gov and keep people suppressed. And has the ability to bring parties and people together I'm good. And if any are against the 2nd no way.

    Not liking the Clintons for “lying” and then supporting Trump is hilarious. It’s so ridiculous it’s not even worth arguing.

    Conservatives need to stop trying to use Hillary as a distraction. She hasn't been president. She isn't an excuse or reference for how terrible Trump is. Trump is the worst president this country has ever had. George W Bush thanks him.
