There is no logic to wanting a carnival-barker, reality show racist as the president.

For those who missed it, racist now means "advocates on behalf of the people of his country, regardless of race".

LOL, yeah that's it. Its not like he's called all the Mexicans drug dealers and rapists, oh and I'm sure there's a few good ones. Oh wait .... yea that's exactly what he did. You can pretend that's not racist, but people with two brain cells to rub together know better.

Oh god it's this idiot again. I don't think I've ever actually seen a liberal like yourself make a real argument against Trump. Or anybody you disagree with for that matter. It's always straight to the personal insults.
It must either be because you have no real arguments against Trump or you've the intellectual abilities of a elementary school bully.

That's because arguing with you folks is like arguing with a 4yr old. Sure you can do it, but what's the point.
I point out a racist statement, you say, it's not racist, this is what he meant. I point out he advocates violence, you say, that it's just showing his frustration. I show he has almost no policies, and publically held the exact opposite belief he is spouting now, you say well he changed his mind. I could go on, but you get the point. You have nothing to back up your arguments, you just attempt to create meaning from the dribble that falls from his lips.
So there you go.
