Why did Republicans nominate Trump? Racism?

[Flopper]

Seriously, I don't get it. Although I'm glad they did - Jeb Bush or John Kasich would have had a much better chance of beating Hillary. Thank you!

IMHO, the Republican Party is deeply divided much more so than the Democrats. The establishment Republicans have been loosing favor with a growing number of Republicans, first in the 90's with Clinton leading the country to the strongest economic growth in decades followed by Bush who was a huge disappointment. Then Democrats nominated and elected Obama and the Republican leadership was unable to stop him. The Republican party was ripe for a takeover. All that was needed was a charismatic leader, who was willing to buck the system and harness the anger these people were feeling.

Democrats say there is no way Trump can do what he says he will do. I think that is immaterial to Trump supporters. They want someone who will speak for them, to express the hate they feel toward Muslims, Hispanics, Blacks, Democrats, and the leaders in the Republican Party who have proved themselves inept at making conservative ideals work.

Interesting observations. After reading your last paragraph - I have concluded that we have Obama to thank for the haters nominating Trump. Damn, what a backfire...for them.

I think you're correct. There were plenty of People, that weren't ready for a Black man in the White House. Maybe if Obama had been less educated, less uppity, more of an Uncle Tom but no, the Democrats nominate a strong willed, highly educated, articulate, black man who planned on making changes.

There are also plenty of people, and most of them Trump supporters who are not ready for a woman president. They believe as their parents and grandparents believed, a woman's place is in the home raising kids, not getting into the world of politics which is best left to men.

Trump is clearly a flaming racist - and has a history to prove it. That's obviously why racists love him.

In 1991, a book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump as criticizing a black accountant and saying: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” O’Donnell wrote that for months afterward, Trump pressed him to fire the black accountant, until the man resigned of his own accord.

Trump can't even surround himself with respectable surrogates.

THE COMPANY TRUMP KEEPS

DOCUMENTS: Bannon Grabbed Ex-Wife By Her Throat

With Trump's offensive comments toward women, Bannon's manhandling of women may be what makes him attractive to Trump. In fact, many of Trump supporters may feel the same.

Why did you nominate Hillary?

Because she is one of the most qualified candidates ever.

She's qualified to run the Mafia or a prison gang.

Yes, more of that testimonial evidence Dims are so famous for. Why should anyone believe this?

Why did you nominate Hillary?

Deflection noted. Start your own thread.

WE know you can't admit the reasons, douche bag. There are two:

1) You're a gullible dumbass who is easily conned.

2) You're a douche bag who doesn't care how dishonest and corrupt the Dims he votes for are.

Well, don't believe it. Just stick your head back where it was.

Trump won because the so called GOP leadership in Congress rolled over and played dead on illegal immigration, sanctuary cities and other issues, they gave BO just about everything he wanted.

And you believed Trump about the "wall" and "mass deportation" and the "deportation force"...? Even Jeb Bush told you all that that would never happen.

Is that the guy who thought he was going to win the nomination by ignoring the wishes of Republican rank and file? The guy who only got three delegates?

You have a special talent for choosing credible sources.

In other words, you're admitting that no one has any reason to believe it.

Actually no, the deportation won't happen because of legal issues. A wall might be possible, but more INS agents on the ground would be better. Defunding sanctuary cities and deporting felons would work to a fair degree.

What "legal issues" prevent us from deporting illegal aliens?

A totally made up quote. But that's good enough for lying pieces of shit like you.

It's a damn good question. I guess it has to do with the "secret" Trump vote the Trump campaign likes to refer to.

You mean all those "closet racists" who are ashamed to openly admit they want a racist president? The funny thing about those "dog whistles" - is that we can all hear them.

Nobody can hear dog whistles, retard.

Red:
??? Oh, my effing God!

Of course humans cannot literally hear dog-whistles. Whether they can or not is not the point.

• Dog-whistle politics

Other examples:

• Rolling Stone's posted this headline: “Trump's Assassination Dog Whistle Was Even Scarier Than You Think.”
  
• Fox News put their racist dog whistle on high today as they claimed that it would be arrogant for President Obama to nominate Susan Rice to be secretary of state.
  
• At 6:58 to ~8:30 in the video (the rest of the video isn't relevant to this post)

During the primaries it sure had me frustrated whenever one of my fellow Republicans thought not being politically correct was some sort of winning policy. Another one I couldn't figure out was how self-funding meant he didn't owe anybody anything. They'd say that and I'd think, yeah but count yourself as another of those he doesn't owe anything to.

I was positive I'd vote Republican up through the convention but it seems to me Hillary is more apt to learn from her mistakes. Trump simply will fire anybody who points them out and tries to correct him. With his thin skin he seems far too emotionally immature to be president.

THANK YOU!

You're such a prototypical liberal dumbass.

Liberal 101: Call your opponent a 'racist'.

It happens so often people just shrug it off, much like Hillary's sad campaign ad she put out in hopes of distracting the nation from the Criminal Clinton Crime Syndicate unraveling going on right now.

No, sir - thank YOU...for demonstrating there is a reason for the 'ignore' button. Time should not be wasted on someone with so little to say.

I agree. All that Shittingbull can do is call everyone a racist.

That asshole wouldn't recognize a real racist if one kicked him in the ass.

One has to wonder why the DNC nominated a stupid, careless and incompetent Hitlery to run for POTUS???

Shittingbull will support her no matter how stupid, careless and imcompetant she is which shows how clueless and foolish she is.

Just about anyone would have had a better shot at beating Hillary. Frankly, just about any of Trump's surrogates would have made better candidates.

These two were rejected because they support ILLEGAL immigration -- same as hillary. Why do democrats support illegal colonization?

Thanks for proving what an laughable idiot you are.

Anyone who doesn't agree with you is a racist?? Anyone who supports Trump is a racist?? Pretty broad statement and one that's nothing but horseshit.

Oh and the Op is just another one of your biased hack pieces.

Jesus you are such a POS its a wonder anyone bothers with your lamo threads. They are funny though. Just as funny and laughable as you are. LOL
