What's this?

Every post you make seems kneejerk. You're the one who is

equating those terms with African Americans, not her. I believe she was talking about criminals. She HAS acknowledged that those laws have had serious unforeseen adverse impacts and should be changed.

You're acting as if she's George Wallace. And by the way you are ignoring her overall popularity among minorities of color. I guess they don't know what's good for them, huh?

Trump was my least favorite of all Republicans candidates, but my -- Doug 05/04/2016 09:19AM

Like I said below, I see him being like WJC - practical and not a crusader ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 3:06PM

Yes, when one thinks of Trump, one thinks of "practical" -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 4:01PM

On that we agree. But it can be said of most any politician. Narcissists -- Doug 05/04/2016 6:21PM

The masculine includes the feminine. And neuter. ** -- Doug 05/05/2016 08:40AM

That seems very transgender! ** -- 111Balz 05/05/2016 11:15AM

Or woman! ** -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 9:17PM

But he's not a crusader for a cause like a religious state or global warmg ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 5:07PM

The wall just got 10 feet higher! ** -- VAGentleman05 05/04/2016 10:46PM

Oh he has an even more personal cause. -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 9:14PM

Supporting a national registry of all Muslims? -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 5:42PM

I don't agree with your assessment of Trump, however my bet is that this is -- Seattle .Hoo 05/04/2016 10:35AM

She really is an amazingly terrible candidate. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:37AM

Not to mention a highly annoying voice ** -- HokieDan95 05/04/2016 11:59AM

Awful. Even so, the electoral math is tough for the GOP right now. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 05/04/2016 10:40AM

A joker in the deck is Trump's ability to pull traditional Democrat -- Doug 05/04/2016 10:56AM

Yeah, you beat me to it Doug. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 05/04/2016 11:04AM

I could see Clinton getting 400 electoral votes -- Fuzzy Dunlop 05/04/2016 10:51AM

I'd like to think so, but I just don't know. Trump is a wildcard and could -- Seattle .Hoo 05/04/2016 11:02AM

I would not check the pro-business box -- fishhoo 05/04/2016 10:28AM

Trump's candidacy would appear to take social issues off the table. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:26AM

Huh? He's made the most contentious statement so far about abortion. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:30AM

I don't consider immigration to be a social issue, like abortion, LGBT... -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:38AM

He said what he said. He will be called to task on it. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:43AM

Trump will have to change his tune on trade in order to be pro-business. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:19AM

IMO, pro-trade and pro-business are not completely -- Doug 05/04/2016 10:51AM

I certainly agree with that last statement. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 11:07AM

Boehner had it right... like choosing between being shot or poisoned. ** -- 81_Hokie 05/04/2016 09:58AM

I don't think Boehner was ever right thats the reason he is no longer -- ESHooFan 05/04/2016 10:21AM

He leads the white nationalist party. -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 09:28AM

What in Trump's background supports the racist label? ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:08AM

Re: What in Trump's background supports the racist label? -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 10:34AM

Is Hillary "Superpredator" Clinton a racist? -- Moneyshot 05/04/2016 11:28AM

Not really. Look at the context. -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 1:30PM

So context matters? Like Trump actually not saying all Mexicans are rapists -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:33PM

Trump: "Jeb has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife."** -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 3:39PM

True. He did say he assumes there are some good ones too. Sounds -- 81_Hokie 05/04/2016 3:18PM

You could tell that by the tone of his voice? body language? ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 4:56PM

All of the above, and the use of the words "some of them." ** -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 5:50PM

Or that Muslim immigration should be halted only temporarily for screening? ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:36PM

Trump on Muslims -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 3:07PM

This is truly a laughable post. ** -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 11:51AM

Interesting... -- Moneyshot 05/04/2016 12:28PM

The former is not a valid position, and in fact is racist -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 3:26PM

LOL...ummm, no -- Moneyshot 05/04/2016 4:32PM

Yeah you have no clue. no surprise ** -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 9:15PM

You make no compelling argument...no surprise -- Moneyshot 05/04/2016 10:10PM

Every post you make seems kneejerk. You're the one who is -- 111Balz 05/05/2016 07:38AM

I disagree with the premise that she can't be anti-crime without also being -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 12:47PM

Cloud your ability to think? Weren't you guys busy bashing the GOP -- Hoodafan 05/04/2016 1:23PM

I was against gay marriage for a long time, at least when I bothered to -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 2:54PM

Who do you think she was referring to when she used the term superpredator? ** -- Moneyshot 05/04/2016 1:14PM

Gang members committing violent crimes. Does the fact that -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 2:35PM

Then explain the dog whistle concept - or does that only apply to the GOP? ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:57PM

A stretch like Trump hates all brown skinned Spanish speakers? ** -- Hoodafan 05/04/2016 2:43PM

I think you need to go back and read that thread again -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 3:27PM

Yes, you guys use the same racist brush on Trump and TK. And I believe this -- Hoodafan 05/04/2016 3:53PM

Dan just quoted Trumps comments in this campaign -- 111Balz 05/04/2016 4:26PM

So one's viewpoints remain forever fixed and can never evolve and change? -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 4:07PM

This reads like Bizarro world and I'm not sure Sixer even realizes it. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:38PM

By all means, please set me straight as to exactly how -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 3:15PM

GOPer makes the same comment, your "dog whistle detector" goes crazy ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 5:00PM

Umm, no. It isn't me that's conflating anti-criminal with anti-black. ** -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 5:41PM

Trump's an attention whore and a bully. I don't see anything more than that ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 11:01AM

How can you say that? -- Beerman 05/04/2016 12:45PM

I see him like WJC after he lost Congress. Practical and not a crusader. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:48PM

Nothing about him says practical. -- DanTheFan 05/04/2016 3:51PM

Wouldn't surprise me if in a few months Trump himself says that. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 1:06PM

Nah, Dan's making a great point and sounding a cautionary note -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 11:21AM

Detractors try to label him, but I believe he is largely non-ideological. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 11:29AM

SM, Trump has labeled himself. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 1:14PM

All GOP candidates are labeled racist by the Dems and their minions. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 2:43PM

He DOES seem to draw support from the KKK. ** -- Shenhoo 05/04/2016 3:19PM

His ideology is Trump. ** -- SixerHoo 05/04/2016 12:01PM

A 1970's charge? Really? Hillary opposed gay marriage as recently as 2013. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 11:25AM

Hey, I'm sure that's the argument that Trump will try to make. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 12:59PM

I think demagogue is actually the right label for primary candidate Trump. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:25AM

You left out the word "illegal" before immigration. ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:29AM

No, I didn't. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:37AM

I'm quite sure Trump will tack the boat as the wind blows. Which has -- Doug 05/04/2016 10:43AM

One thing nobody can disagree with is Trump's ability with the press. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:49AM

Doesn't our system already favor "qualified immigrants"? ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:40AM

That's probably a matter of opinion - but what and how he says it -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:45AM

Trump insults men as much as women - he's an equal opportunity insulter! ** -- Sabremetrician 05/04/2016 10:32AM

No, he is not. He is what many women dread the most. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 10:40AM

The countless times they've been told he is. ** -- Hoodafan 05/04/2016 10:09AM

"white nationalist party"...cute. ** -- Hokie5150 05/04/2016 09:32AM

Dang. I missed that one on my voter registration card ** -- TpkeHoo 05/04/2016 09:34AM

MAYBE he has good intentions. -- HoosGuy 05/04/2016 09:25AM

Gonna need some people who know what their doing ** -- MBHoo 05/04/2016 10:02AM

If people thought Obama was a divisive Prez...oooh boy wait for Trump ** -- cvilleHOOrat 05/04/2016 09:24AM

Neither Trump, Hill nor Bern is capable if uniting the country. -- WaxHoo 05/04/2016 09:28AM

Trump is not running on a platform of uniting the country -- Beerman 05/04/2016 09:40AM

And, in the year of the outsider, Trump is the ultimate outsider. ** -- Doug 05/04/2016 09:20AM

Well, except for Sanders, who isn't even a registered Democrat or if he is, -- southdenverhoo 05/04/2016 10:37AM

That's not going to fly my friend. Bern is a career politician. -- hoolstoptheheels 05/04/2016 12:47PM
