You don't decide someone else's vote

When the press reigns blows on Sharpton, Jackson, BLM and such then I will care about David Duke.

SOP used to be that we were only given a few "acceptable" candidates. Elites were deciding our votes but giving us an illusion of our own decision making. Media went along because cooperating with the elites gives them access. We could "vote our conscience" but only among limited options.

That's not working any more. Partly because of the internet and partly because of Trump's unique background (reality TV). So they are trying new things. For example, they can change our decision by calling us stupid 50 100 1000 enough times. I'll let you know when they've found the number that works.

“15. 12 are FBI agents.”

Probably more true than we know.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I am not a pollster, but much of the effect of negative messaging is to lower the approval ratings of the messenger.

Rubio’s negatives will surge as he goes forward with his bullshit.

[DesertRhino]

“sadly there are more just more subtle than they used to be.
The web allows for “virtual” meetings for both the good and bad of this world.”

You have it backwards. The web allows them to appear bigger than they actually are. The modern equivalent of a letterhead and a fax machine in the 80s making you appear like something important.

[GeaugaRepublican]

Well everyone should just take back everything they have ever said on this website about Robert Byrd, the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party.

The fact that Trump appeals to that segment of the electorate is telling.

By the way... Have you heard that Planned Parenthood does good things?

I’m sure David Duke would agree that when 50% of the black mothers in New York abort their babies... With Planned Parenthood’s help... That’s a Great thing.

And when Republicans vote in closed Republican primaries they are rejecting Donald Trump. He’s 1-3 without Democrats like David Dule voting for him.

Which conservative overturned Roe V. Wade?

Won’t be Chief Justice Roberts “settled law, you know”.

The shiny objects work so well on some conservatives; so easily played by the money interests.

What are there, 12 guys in the KKK these days? Maybe 15?

Only 14, Ralph died last month.

The 12 KKK use walkers. The others 3 are in wheelchairs. But this BLM could cause a membership increase.

Duke delivered the deep south to Trump. His influence shouldn’t be underestimated.

[Kid Shelleen]

Of course you are correct but any Republican should be ready for these types of questions. I think any statement about race should be precluded with some type of remarks noting how the left cries wolf so many times that real instances of racism can sometimes be overlooked.
The fact that Trump not did not disavow David Duke quickly or emphatically enough is a perfect example of how absurd liberal double standards are given Obama's history with AL Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, CAIR, La Raza and a whole gang of racial front groups.

[Vigilanteman]

Yep. Somebody needs to ask how many riots David Duke has incited? How many stores has he gotten burned down? How many people has he gotten killed in those fires?

Al Sharpton can't answer "zero" to any of those questions and is still paraded around as a celebrity spokesman for civil rights.

“Trump disassociated himself from Duke back in 2000, and isn’t required to go on a tour over it. There are legitimate things to attack Trump on. This isn’t one of them.”

Precisely, Marco Rubio is trying to play the race card from the children’s table. In doing so, He is also saying that he is content with controlling the vote. There are certain practices that I disagree with each and every candidate. There are a couple of Trump’s that are far more attention worthy than the voter bullying that we’re witnessing now.

“I notice that nobody notices that the Communist Party USA announced that with the election of Obama, their goal had been reached. They no longer run a candidate because the democrats fully satisfy them.”

It’s very interesting to look back and see how the two party systems have evolved all these years. Although there are a few stark differences between Demmies and Commies, the Democratic Party seems to fit the description of those commies we have opposed to maintain freedom in the past.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe the communist style government has it’s place in our world, just not governing America!

I have only voted for a party affiliated presidential candidate once. I voted independent twice and skipped Pres twice for lack of a vote worthy candidate. Those two elections, I stuck with local politics only. Sometimes there is definitely a lack someone worth taking to the polls for.

It does get old quick when the media people lump voters into categories like all of “these” people will vote Demmie and all of this candidate’s support have the IQ of a semi-digested Cheerio. Much like HuffPo lambasting NH Voters as xenophobic/racists on the front page in bold print. They are effectively damaging the state’s tourism if anyone reading that garbage actually believes any of it.
