Trump is a liar also in addition to being an arrogant,

who resorts to name calling and insults when challenged on

him running the country. There are no good candidates on
either side
as far as I can see. It's a real quandry and does not bode
well for
the future of democracy in this country.
Trump is certainly an ass but he does have some leadership
qualities.
Can't picture him as POTUS though. Can you imagine the ego
battles
between him and Putin?
He does make me laugh sometimes though with some of his quips.
During
last night's debate Rubio was going on and on non-stop bringing
up all
the researched dirt he had found on Trump over the years. At
one point
Rubio was accusing Trump of hiring illegals to work at one of
his places
in Florida. Trumps response was, "I am the only person on
this stage
who has ever hired *anyone*" You could see the immediate
sign of
retreat in Rubio's face.
Priceless.
And the support for Trump builds, right here in .wrecked bloats.
"Leadership qualities..."
When it comes to his integrity versus yours, where do you think you
fit? :)

Racists like Trump and you have no integrity.
Funny. A black guy I work with is from Jersey. He says that while
he's a democrat, Trump is no racists. Says Trump is well-known for
being even-handed in his dealing with folks regardless of the color
of their skin. I'll take his word for it over your lying
sack-o-****'s word, eh?
According to Harry, all Republicans are racist. He's made that
pronouncement right
here on rec.boats.

As predicted, the support for Trump among the white racist trash in
rec.bloats is growing.
This is not a post supporting Trump's candidacy but I don't think Trump
is a "racist" in the way you understand or like to describe people as.
I've read some background on him with regard to his business holdings
and philanthropy. He has a reputation of being color blind in terms of
the people that work for Trump Organization LLC and insists by corporate
culture and policy that no discrimination is allowed. That doesn't mean
that a local manager of one of his hotels doesn't discriminate but his
corporate policies would call for the employee's firing. If you think
about it ... he would be crazy to allow any form of discrimination. Too
big of a target for a lawsuit.
There are also stories of his behind the scenes and quiet donations he
makes to people and organizations that catch his attention and interest.
One was with regard to a young girl with a rare and very disabling
condition since birth. Trump happened to see her on the "Ellen" show
and was moved to make a significant donation to the girl's mother to
help with her financial demands for her daughter's care. Doesn't make
the news and uncharacteristically the Donald doesn't try to benefit
personally by making a big deal about what he gives to others.
But most of the time he's a big mouth.
I'm going by what he says. And he hasn't pushed back yet on his support
from the Klan. And this past weekend he went after a California judge
for being a Latino. And he has stated in some of his TV appearances to
whom he has sent charitable donations.
My problem with your statement "I'm going by what he says" is that you
tend to see racism in virtually *anything* anybody says if they are not
of the same political mindset as you. You've even gone as far as
declaring that *all* Republicans are racists, which, of course, is
absurd. In addition, no one is obligated to "push back" for anything
they are not responsible for. Ignoring them is probably more effective.
