whell, if I am an odds maker, which is the better news, Commies for Hillary or Nazi's for Trump? Since your only intent is flame throwing, this line of attack is idiotic.

Right John.

So, just curious, when THE publication of the Communist Party USA tells folks to get out and talk up a candidate, and then go out and vote for her in landslide proportions, what do you call it? Are you sticking with "support"?

If calling for a landslide victory by Clinton is only "support", what would an "endorsement" look like? A coronation?

An endorsement by the Communist Party would most likely contain some form of the word "endorse" in it. I would also expect the word "Communist" to be in there somewhere too.

I would also expect it to be coming from some person or persons that were authorized to speak for the Communist Party in an official capacity. I know. It's a lot to ask isn't it?

If you can point me to evidence that the American Nazi Party has endorsed Trump and why, then you'd have a point. All I've seen so far are some quotes that WaPo dug up from a radio show that no one listens to.

You're no angel, so its rather unsightly to see you dancing on the head of a pin like this.

I'm sure she's proud of this.
Who cares what the CPUSA wants? BFD, Whell.

You're right whell. The American Nazi Party didn't actually endorse Trump. They just said that he presented a "real opportunity" for white nationalists to expand and advance their cause.

Quote:
“Now, if Trump does win, okay, it’s going to be a real opportunity for people like white nationalists, acting intelligently to build upon that, and to go and start — you know how you have the black political caucus and whatnot in Congress, and, everything, to start building on something like that, okay,” continued Suhayda. “It doesn’t have to be anti, like the movement’s been for decades, so much as it has to be pro-white. It’s kinda hard to go and call us bigots if we don’t go around and act like a bigot. That’s what the movement should contemplate. All right.”

“We have a wonderful OPPORTUNITY here folks, that may never come again, at the RIGHT time,” he stated. “Donald Trump’s campaign statements, if nothing else, have SHOWN that ‘our views’ are NOT so ‘unpopular’ as the Political Correctness crowd have told everyone they are!”
So, if you think the CPUSA "endorsed" Clinton, how is it you can't see that the American Nazi Party endorsed Trump?

Introspection might be required first on your part. Apparently you can't tell the difference between a news article in Buzzfeed (a "news source, but the way, that Pew Research Center found less reliable as an info source than the Glen Beck show ) and the quasi - official mouthpiece for the CPUSA.
