Donald Trump seeks to prove that he is a racist, despite resistance from people like Kiid and RSW and Bamboozled.

You are allowing yourself to be led by the nose

That it is CNN doing the leading is even more embarrassing for you

The clear and unambiguous racism is a central pillar in t-bags’ whole public life. It was the giddy maypole at the core of his father’s social and commercial life. He’s been broadcasting his racism steadily with stupefying energy for decades and shouldered his way to the front of the most racist available pack. It doesn’t take CNN. The evidence is a giant turd mountain now residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Your lack of judgement in this is a good sign that it’s probably time to yank your driver’s license and make sure your house is free of bumpy corners, steep stairs, sharp objects and inflammable materials.

You really think Trump calls Maxine Waters stupid because she is black?

A fairly comprehensive list as of January.

I think it’s more likely that trump has racial animus to Maxine Waters than it is that you remember to wipe your ass when you poop yourself.

He probably does that, and also makes fun of Don Lemon and LeBron because he understands that it plays well with the the racist deplorable white-trash  that make up his base.

Elitist positions;

Open borders, screw the unions and working poor and those that went through the process legally.

Open enrollment and free education. Everybody deserves it.

Screw the vets. Not needed, everyone loves us.

No dirty coal mines or oil wells. Think of the beautiful landscapes ruined and bears and reindeer who have to listen and see the man made monstrosities. We can by cheap oil from our Saudi friends.

What makes it elitist?

If you wanted to claim it's Neo-liberal, I could understand it.

But what does elitism have to do with anything beyond disdain for the racists, misogynists, xenophobes, etc? (And even that I would argue has nothing to do with elitism, but it is closer as it claims superiority to them.)

More of a disdain for the values and lifestyles of anyone who is not an ivy lawyer. Particularly blue collar workers. You just cannot go to W. Virginia and tell voters you want to do away with coal mines.

It was a dumb line.

But it is still true and has nothing to do with elitism, Luee.

Nothing.

Your opinions not withstanding, Clinton's demonstrated more caring and understanding of the poor and working poor than you seem to be able to acknowledge - more than Bernie, to be sure. But her comment there was, according to her, her biggest regret of the campaign.

Quote
"I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country," she said . "Because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business."

She quickly added that she wanted to help coal miners and other workers who gave their health and sometimes their lives to produce the nation's energy.

"And we're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," she added. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories."

Your disdain for Elizabeth Warren is even more misplaced.

You come across as a faux-progressive who has swallowed the talking points against HRC without really understanding them or where they came from.
Interesting that the current economy has been very kind to blacks and low income wage earners.

I think in his mindless and toddler level need to insult prominent people who don't like him he reaches for stupid and synonyms for it for African Americans often enough to justify the opinion he does.

If he had *only* called Maxine Waters stupid, you might have an argument, Kiid.

But he didn't.

Nor did he only call Don Lemon stupid.

Why do you think he called Don Lemon and LeBron stupid?

Why do you think he claimed Obama was a terrible student? He didn't make any such claims about Hillary Clinton.
*********

And Jesus you are slow, Kiid!

I have been pointing out Trump's racist remarks and actions and past since he became a candidate. I don't need CNN to "lead me by the nose." Trump SHOUTS his racism repeatedly.

To miss it, one has to be willfully unhearing and/or unthinking.

Which are you?

You are saying he only called select BLACKS stupid.  No others?

This is where you go astray.

By the way, if Ms Waters were green or blue or shocking pink, she'd have acted stupidly.

You likely agree.

Trump is panicking as Mueller closes in. Great to see.

The end being near is actually a positive for the administration, Ut.

I agree it'll be done prior to the election.
