You're wrong, too. But that's familiar territory for ya.

What I notice is you've never met an anti-Trump argument that you like, and you will make or repeat the most vacuous counter-arguments.
Make and "anti-Trump argument" that I like, and I'l support it.

Your question is pure bullsh. You've been the Artless Dodger dancing around the subject of whether or not you support President Trump, issue notwithstanding.

Nice poor little misunderstood/abused me closing whine.
Nice try yourself, but a swing and a miss is still a strike.

Trump himself is the best anti-Trump argument anyone could make.

I'm not into selective indignation. I don't think Trump used "race hatred" to polarize America. I don't think Trump looked at the "birther" thing through a racist prism. Judge Curiel wasn't about race, nor was the "Muslim ban". He never said "Mexicans are racist.

Those were in-artful comments to be sure, and it gave his political enemies spun into accusations of racism. Which begs the question: who really was using race as a political tool? Was it Trump, or those who made racial political hay out of his comments?

Let me know when you run out of bullshit since you seem to have an endless supply with all things Trump. This is from Bannot who got Trump elected or are you going to dispute that too?

“I think they’re going to try to moderate him,” Bannon said. “I think he’ll sign a clean debt ceiling; I think you’ll see all this stuff. His natural tendency — and I think you saw it this week on Charlottesville — his actual default position is the position of his base, the position that got him elected. I think you’re going to see a lot of constraints on that. I think it’ll be much more conventional.”

This post completely vindicates what I said in #153: you accept absolutely NO criticism of Trump, and you will make any vacuous argument in support of him.

Cute one up there. He never said "Mexicans are racist." Racist/rapists? Deception by pun? Oh aren't you just so clever!

WTF??? So, people who object to Trump's overt racism are the racists? Typical right-wing projection.

You're assertion that none of those actions of Trump's are racist is proof-positive that you have no idea what racism is and that you're more than willing to accept and defend it. I bet you'd defend a Trump-sponsored KKK cross burning on the White House lawn. You have no soul.

Typical propaganda tactics. Spread FUD by accusing them of what you're doing.
