I now have the Drumfinator installed on Chrome. This was a good decision.

Can we find another source confirming/reporting this? Breitbart makes Fox News seem unbiased and reputable. I'm quite hesitant to believe their take on anything.

Off topic, but I actually totally disagree with this. Fox news maintains a facade of "fair and balanced", whereas Breitbart makes no secret of its ideological slant. There's way more integrity in that.

And that donation stuff right there is the prime reason why Trump has a chance.

Broken system.

Of course Trump is part of the ogliarchy that created the broken system, you might as well elect Pablo Escobar sherif in order to get rid of drugs.

Mind you Hillary Clinton arguing she screwed 40 million out of Wall Street fat cats in order to build schools to educate girls in the third world isn't exactly a damning indictment of political graft.

She needs to own this 'scandal' Trump-style.
"These wall street execs, they just keep throwing money at me. Why? Because I'm great. When you're this great, you get paid for being great. I mean I literally can't help it. $40 million? No, it's way more than that. It's like $100 million. Tell me I only made $40 million off of them again, and I swear to god I'll sue you."

Donald Trump is very educated and knows words. I mean, he knows lots of words. Well played by John Oliver.

I do like how every election cycle the KKK comes out and supports a Republican candidate and the whole country is shocked. Guess what guys, if racists consistently support your candidates, there's probably a recurring theme or core value that is consistently drawing them to your party.

Spoiler!

One thing that annoyed me in that video is when she said "obviously the majority of Trump supporters aren't African American" as if that was an abnormal occurance. Guess what? African Americans account for 13.2% of the American population. The majority of Sanders supporters are probably white people too. But why should the skin colour of a candidates supporters even matter in the first place? It's not like a white persons vote counts for two points and a black persons only counts for one.

That guy in the video is 100% correct. All this race stuff needs to end. Trump needs to stop it with his ridiculous Muslim bans and the left needs to stop accusing all Republicans of being white trash racist people.

This whole "election" (I prefer to call it a circus) so far has been an absolute embarrassment for the United States and the people running for both the Republican and Democratic nominations should be ashamed of themselves.

I understand that people died for our right to vote, and since I am not an American citizen my opinion matters very little, but if I had the option I vote I would stay home as none of them have done anything so far to earn my vote. Terrible, childish candidates. All of them.

I promise to stop calling Republicans racist when they stop voting for racist candidates and racist policies. I think that's a fair deal.

Can you name a racist policy that is clearly aligned with the GOP? I can't think of one, is why I ask.

I certainly can think of instances of racism in US politics, and most of them involve Republicans because most racists are avowedly right wing. But that's quite a different claim.

How about Muslim registration (more xenophobic or ethnocentric, but I don't think semantics really matter here)? Or a gigantic wall blocking out Mexico?

If not racist then what would you call the targeted gerrymandering of minorities into their own districts to minimize their voice and voting power, good politics? They're being kept equal right? Just...separate.

Voter ID is the easiest answer to a GOP policy that is racist, though it could be twisted as targeting low income voters (who are mostly minorities...). But the main goal is to have fewer minorities (who overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates) voting in elections, which itself would have to be considered racist. Gerrymandering is a good example as well, but that's straight up electoral cheating as opposed to a policy.

Aren't you supposed to be the logic guy around here?

This statement is patently illogical.

Their racist policies have been struck down by the Supreme Court. Their policies are as racist as they are allowed to be under the law.
