Yes, half of Trump supporters are racist

BALTIMORE — Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump’s supporters are racists and other “deplorables.” But she wasn’t wrong.

If anything, when it comes to Trump’s racist support, she might have low-balled the number.

Trump, speaking to the National Guard Association of the United States’ annual conference here Monday afternoon, proclaimed himself “deeply shocked and alarmed” about Clinton putting half of his supporters in the “basket of deplorables”— as if anybody, especially Trump, could be shocked by anything this late in the campaign. How dare she, Trump said, “attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, amazing people.”

But this isn’t a matter of gratuitous name-calling. This election has proved that there is much more racism in America than many believed. It came out of hiding in opposition to the first African American president, and it has been welcomed into the open by Trump.

Trump has the whites who are afraid of blacks and Hispanics because, well, they're "them."

Saying half of Trump supporters are racist is as STUPID as insisting that NeverTrumpers support Hillary.

Goober Dana Milbank Hides Stupidity With a Beard

One of my favorite Andy Griffith episodes shows Goober growing a beard to try to look smart. Picking up an apple, he declares, “One time you was a seed.” Unfortunately, the extreme makeover didn’t work for Dana Milbank of The Washington Post during an appearance on the Clinton News Network (CNN). His new beard didn’t disguise the loony opinions that have become his hallmark.

The occasion was an appearance with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin to confirm that Hillary was right in saying that half of Donald J. Trump’s supporters were deplorables. “Come back any time,” Baldwin concluded. The appearance wouldn’t be worth commenting on, except for the fact that Milbank tried to look and sound like an intellectual. It was really funny.

At a time when Mrs. Clinton has attacked half of all Trump supporters as “deplorable,” Milbank was brought on to somehow confirm this. He had no problem with the rise of black hate groups like Black Lives Matter or President Obama’s racially divisive rhetoric. Instead, he saw white people (of which he is one) as the problem.

“There’s been a huge jump in the amount of racial stereotypes expressed by white people in America, people who will say that black Americans are less intelligent or lazier than white Americans,” he declared. “And it’s really quite shocking, something like 62 percent of white voters have these sorts of sentiments, and by better than 2-1 they vote Republican.”

Can you explain the identical MAC address for the two names then?

[goatprairie]

The dark, dirty secret about Dem supporters?.....a  great pct.  of them are racists and haters. I used to work with people and and have blue collar pals who were unabashedly racist and voted only for Dems and hated Republicans.
But you only have to go to the lib/leftist talk forums to find lots of haters. Many wish death on conservative pols or just conservatives in general.
Milbank is two-faced hypocrite.

Not just blue collar... Go spend some time in any liberal enclave or with some academics.

However, remember Trump is a democrat.  A large percentage of his followers are those very same people to whom you refer.
