He wanted to avoid denouncing Duke for fear of alienating Southern racist vote ahead of Super Tuesday. By dragging his feet on his eventual rejection of the endorsement, he actually gained sympathy among these voters who will now think that Trump's backpedaling was forced on him by the "Liberal Media".

It's also worth noting that Duke himself never actually admitted he was endorsing Trump. In fact, he said he wasn't but then admonished voters that a vote for anyone else was a "betrayal of their heritage".

The thing about it, and I've noticed this before, is that a lot of Trump's gesturing is pretty effeminate. I suspect that's what inspired the parody.

I do not see how this doctored video is flattering to the gay community. (This after watching the 1999 movie Flawless with Robert De Niro yesterday).

6 New Jersey newspapers call for Chris Christie to resign
All small papers owned by Gannet so sounds more like a corporate directive.

Quote:
“We’re fed up with Gov. Chris Christie’s arrogance,” the papers wrote. “We’re fed up with his opportunism. We’re fed up with his hypocrisy. We’re fed up with his sarcasm. We’re fed up with his long neglect of the state to pursue his own selfish agenda. We’re disgusted with his endorsement of Donald Trump after he spent months on the campaign trail trashing him, calling him unqualified by temperament and experience to be president.”
True but will only go to help Trump in the short term. Christie by his own admission wants to go into the private sector and make "money like Trump". He has apparently been out of state 261 days last year so they probably don't need him anyway. The guy is a lightning rod for controversy and probably should resign.

It is anti gay whilst suggesting that Trump is part of the gay world.

I was merely filling in the info that hillbilly could not recall. There are the facts, no matter whether you like the sources or not, and BTW, there are several more sources than the three you mentioned.

Trump Relieved!

Quote:
MOBILE, ALABAMA (The Borowitz Report)—The Republican front-runner, Donald Trump, said on Tuesday night that he was “tremendously relieved” that the recent controversy linking him to the Ku Klux Klan had apparently not hurt him with voters in Alabama.

“I’m not a worrier by nature, but I must admit I was worried about this,” Trump told reporters. “The minute that that K.K.K. business started up, my main fear was, ‘I sure hope this doesn’t upset voters in Alabama.’ ”

Come on, John, you weren't "merely" doing anything. DQ and I did that without linking to crackpot and highly partisan sources. We all know what sources HB will focus on and the erroneous conclusions he'll draw from them so the truth is you weren't doing him or anyone else any favors.
