Your comments are yet another example of how US politics have devolved into a battle of persuasion rather than ideas. Branding Trump as a racist is a great play by the Hilary team, but it really does nothing to further any type of intelligent debate or conversation. Scott Adams has a nice entry on this very topic that I'd encourage everyone to read.
Okay, Trump is Xenophobic and prejudiced rather than racist. Does that help you sleep at night?
