i just wanted to take something Sirk said in another context, and put it here to see if it fit:
hmm..
how many people now "support" Trump ((without actually supporting him)) because they are "afraid" of what would happen if a democrat wins the presidency?
how many people "support" him because they are afraid of terrorists blowing them up, or of Sharia law? because they are afraid of losing jobs to immigrants? because they are afraid of having their guns taken away or their taxes going up? because they are afraid of America 'not being great anymore' ? because they are afraid of the national debt?
hmm..
how many people support Clinton or Sanders because they are afraid of what they think will happen if Trump becomes president?
see, it occurs to me that when you no longer vote "for" someone, but are only voting "against" someone else, or "against" another party, or "against" an imaginary group of people that you ascribe every possible evil to that you can think of -- aren't you pretty much voting out of fear? if not hatred + fear?
& that's what we have: the two most untrusted and despised candidates we could find, going head to head ((plus a Jew with some 'crazy ideas' about helping the poor, that a lot of people don't take seriously, but nevermind him)). untrusted and despised by their own constituency - not just by their enemies. we're choosing sides because of hate & fear.
a relationship built on hatred is no relationship at all either. but that's the relationship a lot of people have with Trump: one based on fear and/or hatred of "liberals" in general and of Clinton in particular. and that's the relationship a lot of people have with Clinton: based on fear and/or hared of Trump; of sexism, racism, demagoguery and bigotry. apart from a nutty core ((filled with nougat?)) both candidates have a bunch of support whose basis is mostly nothing but hatred & fear of the other candidate.
spooky

In order to be a racist you have to feel that you are special or entitled to something because of the color of your skin. I don't see much white supremacists today. There is a whole new class of racists and bigots in the world today. If we look at society today we can see exactly where racism is now days. You have people getting attacked, being called names, missing job opportunities and etc. just because the color of their skin. But society looks the other way because apparently that's what they think white people deserve.
I'm not racist and don't judge people by the color of their skin. But its not fair that I am being judged by the color of my skin and for things that happened decades and centuries ago that I had no part in. So yes there is a great sin of racism going on today, and I think that it is a shame that our country is stereotyping, shaming, and using white people as scapegoats.

Trump Orders Surrogates to Intensify Criticism of Judge and Journalists - Bloomberg Politics
[h=1]Intensify Criticism of Judge and Journalists[/h][h=2]During a Monday conference call with supporters, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee overruled a directive sent out by his own campaign.[/h]
An embattled Donald Trump urgently rallied his most visible supporters to defend his attacks on a federal judge's Mexican ancestry during a conference call on Monday in which he ordered them to question the judge's credibility and impugn reporters as racists.
“We will overcome,” Trump said, according to two supporters who were on the call and requested anonymity to share their notes with Bloomberg Politics. “And I’ve always won and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.”
There was no mention of apologizing or backing away from his widely criticized remarks about U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing cases against the Trump University real-estate program.

Interesting report on the chaos in the Trump campaign.

Look again as La Raza is not the same organization as the National Council of La Raza:
Guess Which Prominent Fox News Contributor and Trump Backer is ALSO a Member of "La Raza"! | RedState
Even your article admits it: ''the San Diego La Raza Lawyers’ association is not affiliated with the National Council of La Raza''.
Note that your article says La Raza "translates literally “The Race.” That is incorrect. The organization was founded by Mexican-Americans in California where the term means "the community". In other parts of Latin America such as in Puerto Rico where I was born the term means "the Race". But it does not have that meaning or even the most remote connotation in that manner to Mexicans. By writing what he did the right wing writer of your article shows his ignorance of the language and its varying idioms based on ethnicity.

jk...lolTrump refused 200 million dollars to pick Gingrich as his VP. Looks like the establishment tried to get their globalist sycophant in there to keep tabs on Trump....just like they did with Bush for Reagan. Problem is they tried to kill Reagan to get their guy in the Whitehouse. Trump is a smart man and will pick an outsider for VP to ensure they don't kill him. This is a very delicate time and I hope Trump has battened down all the hatches in regards to his personal security.
Michelle Obama recently made a speech in which she mentioned that she is living in a house built by slaves. I know slaves didn't do all the work but they did help. Of course the racist trumpers took what she said entirely out of its context and blamed her for race-baiting. All she meant was . Look how far black people have come in this country. This is why I will never support Donald Trump because his entire campaign is based on hatred
