Exactly. I do wonder about the sanity of Trump supporters but people can't act like Trump wasn't aware of what impact he'd have on people from the start. If Trump acted normal, people wouldn't have bothered supporting him.

Remember this from 2012? Listen to the crowd after Wolf suggests whether society should let a person die. Those people are definitely Trump supporters this time around.

Trump was able to find his niche in bigots and people that are upset with establishment politicians. He was the alternative. Same with Bernie Sanders to a degree but Sanders isn't savvy enough as a politician to have won the nomination. This is the reason I couldn't vote for Sanders. I agreed with a lot of his policies but I just didn't think he would have what it would take to actually get much of what he wanted implemented. It would have been a massive struggle in the Senate to get them to back anything he proposed.

Oh you are one of those.

I really don't get why some white people are afraid to discuss race and immediately want to write everything off as race baiting and race "stuff". Is it because it makes them uncomfortable? Are they not mature enough to realize the everyday impact race has on minorities? Maybe they are just inside their own bubble and refuse to see otherwise. Must be nice being white and not having to worry about that race "stuff".

I am pretty sure the person in the video who said that wasn't "white" so that totally destroys your argument.

That's something I can agree with and even though he won't win, I still respect him a lot for being the voice that people wanted to hear. He made the race for presidency at least interesting and he got to the ears of younger voters, and say what you will, but he's definitely made an impact with how younger voters see politics now. It's changed the scene a little bit, and if that was his primary goal, he definitely succeeded.
