you know what, WTH kind of country do I live in now where a guy whose minister says that can win TWO elections.

I hope Trump supporters are a decent percentage of blue collar white.

Italian, Irish, Polish...whatever. They’re some of the toughest SOBs I’ve ever met and we need that on our side.

If things get rough, we have to start fighting back.

LBM and Raza wanted a race war? they might be getting a (peaceful) one and that is why Donald is doing so well.

He wasn’t my first choice but i’ll sure as hell back him.

I hope he does the debate as well. The thing I like about Trump is that he has no problem defending himself, unlike the gems the GOPe have nominated in the past(Mcstain, Romney).

I’m proud of Mr Bill O on this one. He’s right and he’s a stand up guy. A voice of reason among fake outraging idiots.

The KKK might have a few thousand members nationwide. And they don’t do anything. Why does some people, the media especially, still think the KKK is the worst group in the history of the world. It’s not the 50s anymore folks. And David Duke has not had an association with the Klan in over 30 years. The Klan in it’s heyday was no where as bad the Black Panthers for being racist trouble-makers. By the way the preferred flag of the Klan is Old Glory, not the Confederate Flag.

Is Trump a racist? To me, the more important question is this: Is Trump a racist employer?

(Note: I like Trump, but I don't agree with everything he says. For instance, I don't agree with Trump if he has anything good to say about Planned Parenthood.)

Back to my question: Has Trump been a racist employer over the 30+ years he has run his many businesses?

1. Has Trump employed many minorities, especially blacks, over the past 30 years? Or, has he employed very few?

2. Has Trump intentionally ordered his people to hire few minorities over the past 30 years?

3. Has Trump treated his non-white employees with fairness over the years, the same as he treated his white employees?

4. Has Trump paid his non-white employees a decent and fair wage/salary over the past 30 years, the same as he paid his white employees?

5. Has Trump given his non-white employees a fair opportunity to move into supervisory positions, the same opportunities he gave his white employees?

6. Do Trump projects have a safe and welcome environment for non-white employees?

7. Do past and present non-white employees---for the most part---have good things to say about the working conditions at Trump projects?

8. My suggestion to Trump advisors: Bring present and past non-white employees together to tell their stories on how well Trump treated most of his non-white employees, especially his black employees.

9. An idea: Trump could gather past and present workers---minorities and non-minorities---in small groups throughout the country and allow reporters free access to the workers. The reporters could ask if working conditions were good or bad. For instance, The reporters could ask the workers if they would work for Trump again.

10. Trump and David Duke-KKK controversy. My point is this: If Trump can show that he has treated his non-white employees fairly during the past 30+ years, such proof could go a long way to quiet his present David Duke-KKK controversy.

11. NOTE: If anybody reading this message has ever worked for Trump over the past 30+ years---especially if you are black or any other minority--- why don't you tell us about your experience, good or bad? Thanks.

Getting late here, but I had the unfortunate experience of catching some of that stupid bitch’s show tonight and all she did was to bitch about Trump and the KKK.

O’Reilly is right here, this is just frickin’ lame - is he supposed to “clearly disavow” this every time they bring it up? As for the debate later this week, Cruz may not be there. The doctor selling his book, the bell hop, and Trump may be the only three there.

I thought he raped Edith Bunker, but that was the plural David Dukes. And he’s dead these 16 years.

Yet another example of gross journalistic malpractice and egregious bias as Megan Kelly once again quotes (or in this case plays) Trump's own words.

Megan Kelly took quite a shot at ol Bill ....saying “with all due respect to Mr Oreilly, the voters will determine whether its a non story”...

With all due respect, to the Fox blonde Bimbo, We have already determined it's a non-story.

This was a Fox doofus pounding on a dead horse, hoping to make a big effing deal by asking the same question over and over.

If you Fox clowns want an answer you like, why don't you just interview each other and pretend one of you is Trump?

As Yogi would say, "That dead horse has left the barn!

At least someone on FauxNews (and for that matter the airhead press) gets it.

If La Raza, a racist organization, backed anyone would this be news? They backed Obama and they backed Bill Clinton. They are clearly a racist organization

Glad to hear that, cuz I forgot.

I was talking to someone this morning and the word is out that La Raza DID endorse Rubio.

What's up with that?

Interesting point.

he Fox idiots will regret what they started.

People will realize soon enough that there have been more killings and mayhem from the BLM in the last 6 months than I remember from the KKK in the last 30 years.

What's up with that?

David Duke says he did not endorse Trump. It is another “hands up” lie from the media.

The only reason it became a story is that Trump handled it badly to begin with and compounded the problem by trying to lie his way out of it.

Ir is a non story. The main stream media ginning it up. They did the same thing to W running ads of the Jasper TX dragging of the black man. This is what people are sick of. A democrat means 4 more years of race baiting BS. We’re sick of it. Suddenly white people are the enemy in this country? WTF? it is so out of control.

Trump should point out his history with the Mar-a-lago club that he bought (yes, the same club with the H-2B seasonal workers).

The club was restricted, no Jews were allowed as members. The first thing Trump did was open the club to everyone. Trump should ask "Is that the action of a racist?"

This book, The World of Exclusive Clubs mentions it.

This 2011 Newsmax story references it.

The media is STILL perpetuating this sham story. I heard Charlie Rose say this morning that although he disavowed the endorsement, he didn’t disavow it with more words, therefore he really didn’t fully disavow it.

Sheesh, the media is doing contortions to misrepresent and misreport, they KNOW Trump will beat their candidate Hillary like a rented mule.
