He can't control who gives to him (other than return donations), but unlike candidates and politicians before him, he absolutely refuses to denounce them.
This is just ridiculous. While on the “State of the Union,” Trump says he just can’t denounce the KKK’s support for him until he does more “research.”

A bit if history, in 1991, Bush denounced Duke.

Reagan slammed them even harder.

Trump needs the racist, white supremacist vote.
"Reaching out" is what Donald does. Didn't you know that?
This ought to be damaging, indeed, disqualifying, but his supporters lap up whatever this feculent anuran says.
-
Not only refused to denounce them, he claims to have know knoledge about them, using the "just play dumb" strategy.
-
I'm not going to it it , because I don't want my ip address shown as a visitor to one of there web sites, but I bet you their discussion is all about supporting Trump.

I'm surprised he didn't pull the 'its just how you do business' line.

Luv it all these UINPARTY HATERS want to give up this COUNTRY's sovereignty. Vote for your RINO Establishment guy and you all will be the first to complain about your right being given to the illegals more than they are now. Can't fix stupid. :silly:

OOps, Trump in 2000:
Mr. Trump painted a fairly dark picture of the Reform Party in his statement, noting the role of Mr. Buchanan, along with the roles of David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and Lenora Fulani, the former standard-bearer of the New Alliance Party and an advocate of Marxist-Leninist politics. “The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani,” he said in his statement. “This is not company I wish to keep.”
That would have been a good statement for today instead of playing dumb.
-
Reince Preibus and other Republicans should come out and denounce Trump over this. Let his bigoted supporters stand with Trump on this if they want, but decent people are not going to.
So Trump disavowed Duke in 2000, last August, and again on Friday, but claimed ignorance today. Likely figures he needs those white supremacist votes.

Longiron, I wish you wouldn't use the word H*TERS. It seems to hurt their widdle feelings. UNIPARTY is fine cause that's pretty accurate. I love you, buddy. But, leave the insulting to Cruz and Rubio supporters. They have much more practice at it.
-
Two things can be true:
1) Establishment slept on Trump and should have defined him early
2) There's a ton of time left for Trump to lose

In so many ways, he is reversing everything William F Buckley did.

Will YOU denounce Trump's refusal to denounce David Duke and the KKK?
-
LOL, I had to go see what Freepers said.
Trump is a good businessman. He doesn't want to throw away the KKK vote.
Trump/Duke 2016!

Astounding. So Trump will tout the Neo-Nazi vote too, no doubt.

Yeah Longiron. See my signature line.

Yes, sink. The moment Donald Trump steps onto his private jet he dons his official KKK white sheet.
But, keep chipping away at it. Maybe you'll get a few of the dumber people here to believe Donald Trump is a racist.

Racism isn't quite the same as neo-nazism.

You refuse to denounce Trump for refusing to denounce the KKK. Got it. Total sheep.

By the way, sinky. It's nice to see you expanding your repertoire to use innuendo against a Republican candidate, like a good little liberal democrat would do. :beer:

I thought that attacking Trump didn't phase you a bit, but here you are again, again, using personal insults against someone who is criticizing trump.
-
At this point I don't care if it is Trump vs Sanders, I'm not voting for him.. Sorry if he can't just simply denounce David Duke, then I will not vote for him period..

Understand what u are saying BUT why does haters imply they do not like TRUMP? Cannot HATERS imply CRUZ, RUBIO or HILLARY ? Do the UNIPARTY (how's that) Posters care about anyone's feeling when attacking TRUMP or their supporters. I guess it is ok for them to call him and their supporters Ass*****, Idiots, egomaniacs, F*** offs, Dumies, nit wits and many other things. If you fight back that is a bad thing ! :shrug:

Yes, unfortunately emotions do Trump facts. (sorry about incorrect capitalization).
We've been living with the hate since Donald J Trump announced in June. Not to worry, though. We will soldier on, cause we're tough, like Donald Trump.

I'm not sure, maybe I do like being called a "horse's ass" better than being called a "hater" which is just so generic and abstract. Anyone can be a hater, but it takes special lil ole me to be a "horse's ass".

And this is ok to post by the UNIPARTY. Posters and not suppose to defend it? :shrug:
Donald Trump's good friend, convicted pervert Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news, but that's not the only creepy sex scandal the fluffy bouffant has peripherally involved himself in—he also fired a woman from his TV show because she didn't want to reach out to Bill Cosby......
....To say Trump has a history of commenting inopportunely on skeevy sex scandals would be an understatement—in 2002, years before Jeffrey Epstein's egg-shaped penis became a matter of public record—Trump described Epstein as a "terrific guy."...
Quote
"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life." - http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/

Reminder of who Jeff Epstein is. He is the guy who ran an underage prostitution ring on 'orgy island' as he called it that is claimed power players from Prince Andrew to Bill Clinton frequented.

On the contrary, posters are supposed to defend it. No one is saying you can't. At that, it is better you come up with defenses now than when Hillary comes out with them in the General Election. If you think these are bad, this is nothing compared to the dirt Hillary has on Trump. For example, no one has even brought up the charges in Ivana's book that Trump paid mistresses to get abortions. Hillary will bring that up. How do you think that will fly in the general?
Why not defend it now and work up a good argument than being on constant defensive in the general?
-
Racism/unsavory supporters is probably already "priced in" with Trump. That's why he wants to keep the conversation on that, not Trump U., etc

Which is what Clinton seems to be trying to do with her albatrosses; get them aired now so she and her supporters can say it's all old news in the general election.

He didn't know anything about Seventh Day Adventists either but that didn't stop him from referring to the religion
as a cult.
Then he went on to say he didn't think there were too many evangelicals from Cuba.
There is nothing and no one who didn't feel the snarl from T. But anyone supporting him........they're A- OK

Use a free, web-based, proxy server. That will anonymize your IP address.

Geez, he only denounces this because it's ammunition for other candidates to use. Not because it's the right thing to do.

You know why? Because that's Donald Trump you're hearing. Not his cadre of groomers and political handlers. He has no manicured message for you from the GOPe or from the conservative gatekeepers.
He's a man who connects with people as a person, honestly from the gut, not as a political machine. Plus, he loves America and has a freight load of real world experience behind him...not as good as Ted Cruz and the Harvard debating society – but, pretty good.
-

A whole thread on why won't Trump denounce it and then when he does it isn't good enough...sheeesh!
-

The only reason denouncements work is if the audience can believe that it was delivered by the speaker... and guided by their conscience/sense of right and wrong.
He did this only after he was attacked by another candidate over it. Where is the snese of right and wrong? Where is his conscience?
This is political cover.
Why don't you see that?
Would you believe a child's apology for breaking the television if:
1. After grounding him, he did not apologize.
2. Apologized at dinner only after finding out he wasn't going to get dessert?

Trump could condemn Duke 16 years ago, but can't today because he needs racist voters. It is a yuge block of his support. or he is going senile.
-
A whole thread on why won't Trump denounce it and then when he does it isn't good enough...sheeesh!
He denounced it on Twitter after refusing to denounce it on CNN. Not quite the same media forum.
Trump stepped in it and he better do his "research" because he will be asked about it again.
-
And while he repeated the question and mentioned David Duke, Trump then said that CNN provided him with a faulty ear piece and he couldn't hear the question.
Go right ahead and defend Trump.
Intellectual dishonesty is not an admirable character trait.
-
Not only refused to denounce them, he claims to have know knoledge about them, using the "just play dumb" strategy.
Not only has he refused to denounce them, he's flat out lying about it - Trump quit the Reform Party years ago because it was infected by Duke among other racists.
Now, in 2016, currying the favor of racists is part of his election strategy. For it's own survival, the GOP must cast this bum into the fetid pit from when he came - consequences be damned. Let him run independent if he wants to peddle his hateful garbage.
-
Reince Preibus and other Republicans should come out and denounce Trump over this. Let his bigoted supporters stand with Trump on this if they want, but decent people are not going to.
Exactly. Take a stand, and hiss the guy off. I heard the other day he was still hinting about making an independent run if the GOP didn't treat him right.
Treat him like the hate-peddler he is. Let him walk.
-
Could shake me awake at 2 AM, and immediately ask me the question who David Duke was, and I could give you a clear intelligent answer before I could even rub the sleep out of my eyes. His (pretending he didn't know) was just strange.

He gave an off-hand disavowal on Friday, caught hell for it on Twitter, so he equivocated on Sunday. Can't piss off the StormFront section of his voting base.
