    So Trump is a racist because he wants ILLEGAL ALIENS to be deported? You mean, someone who wants our border laws enforced and our country entered LEGALLY makes him a racist? Really?

    Bush did this all on his own, trying to claim credit for major combat operations being over when the aftermath brought more casualties than the actual invasion.

    This was Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin in an SNL comedy skit that said this, not liberals. Palin remarked that her foreign policy experience was based in part on being able to see Russia from her state, hardly much better than what Fey said.

    That all depends on if you judge him by what you think he meant or by the words and tone that actually came out of his mouth. I refer you to the "you didn't build that" fiasco where righties and anti-Obama folks spun it the way they wanted Obama to mean it instead of the way he actually meant it and the way the context of the entire quote reads. All that Trump's statements are is a different topic in the same situation.

    Apparently according to libs only white people are racist.

    And if you call out against illegal immigration, you are racist.

    I remember when Harry Reid was against illegal immigration back in the 90's and all the libs were cheering.

    Hypocritical flip-flopping. The stereotype of liberals.

    Its no so much what he said but the party he runs for and the color of his skin that makes him racist. Look at him gloating with his white skin all over the place, enough to froth the mouth of any anti-white racist.

    Hey - it worked for Obama, got him elected twice, and his abilities are not even in the same league as a Donald Trump. Obama is minor league low compared to Trump on ability - intelligence and leadership.........

    They heard some little snippet on TV about Trump being a racist, and they ran with it. That's what happens when people don't bother to use their gray matter.

    This whole Trump thing has given me some surprises in that some of my acquaintances that I least expected to have said they like what Trump is saying. I mean seriously hard-core liberals. On the other hand, many of the usual suspects can't come close to answering the question when you ask them why they think Trump is racist. They just heard somewhere that he is, and that's all they know. About anything.

    lol. 0bama isn't even on the same planet as Trump when it comes to intelligence and ability. To use both names in the same sentence is ludicrous.

    No one would shop anywhere if politics (and not product) were the motivation behind commerce.

    Why is it when asked, the hateful accusers can only respond with "he just is!"

    I'd just like actual racist examples, because we all know how the liberal version of racism is a label for everyone who agrees with them... and nothing more than talking points.

    "I don't like Obama because he.."

    "Racist!!"

    Because you have no idea whether or not the bulk of what they sell is going to fit, or how it is going to look on you.

    Are you a woman or not? You can only wear snuggies at home.

    Illegal alien = not a race
    Mexican = not a race
    Hispanic = not a race

    Maybe because his anti-illegal immigrant comments aren't racist.

    Clothing is actually not the primary thing that I purchase at Macys. It's more often cookware and/or linens. Their clothing used to be better, now it's pretty much the same Made in China crap as everywhere else anyway. I've even stopped buying the linens as of late because I prefer organic cotton that is NOT made in china and there are plenty of online outlets that are selling linens made in the USA or by fair trade partners

    when you ship jobs overseas and import goods without controls put in place, people have less money to spend

    Strange, then why mention Trump at all, hmmm? You can claim whatever you wish the words are there for anyone with more than two brain cells to see.

    Yea, kinda like shipping in more cheap immigrant labor with no controls in place, American's have fewer jobs & less money to spend.

    If you look at the closing one by one, it appears that the stores are now in empty shopping centers or run down shopping centers or in areas that have changed dramatically.. Has nothing to do with Trump.

    True. In that case would be more to do with Obama.

    Whether or not gas is the main thing you buy at a gas station has little to do with reality, which is that they exist primarily to serve gas. You asked why one would go to macy's when their product line was available online. The bulk of their product line is clothing and shoes. That's why. Clearly.

    The Macys that I am in close proximity to is quite well known, in fact famous for its selection and volume of home goods. This is not strip mall Macys that I am referring to. And many people do buy shoes and close online...obviously. In fact, if you want to buy apparel NOT made in China, which I prefer to do, you can only get those, most of the time, online.

    A gas station? Sseriously? Not a great analogy.

    LOLOL.. I should have seen that coming.. Several Macys in Florida closed long before Obama ever took office. If the road changes or a neighborhood changes or a shopping center loses tenants, there is no reason for Macy's to stay.
