    Spin it however you like but you are the minority even in the GOP. That's why you are not a real threat. But don't believe me. Turn on 'The View' to hear Ana Navarro & Meghan McCain on Trump's racism.

    You think the women of the view are mainstream? Meghan McCain is an objective source to measure GOP approval of Trump.

    You will not know how Trump is viewed by the GOP or anyone until the election. No one wants radicals, the thought police, showing up on their doorsteps.

    It always comes down to elimination. Who's in and who's out today in the Republican party. Is Romney your enemy also?

    I have no enemies. Many Republicans believe if they give in to Democrats, if they agree with Democrats, the Democrats will like them. Democrats ,,, Liberals in general ,,, are intolerant of any disagreement. Trump is unique among GOP politicians in that he is undeterred. He knows Democrats will never stop hating him because he beat them in 2016 and continues to beat them and acts accordingly.

    The thing is, the ability to recognize (and acknowledge) racist comments both Navarro and McCain exhibit put them squarely in the minority of the party of Trump.

    If you watched the video I posted a link to you saw Hayes explain just how willing Trumpers are to compromise what used to be widely held values of common decency for the sake of having a prez who recklessly cut taxes and knowingly harms the planet because they see him as being part of their tribe.

    The government revenue from income tax went up at the same rate it had before the tax cut. However, we spent considerably more.

    My air is cleaner than ever. You must live on a different planet. I have suspected that for a long time.

    Do you really believe that? And if so, can you cite any studies/ articles that support your opinion?

    I'm realizing that the biggest flaw in Republican arguments is the lack of any evidence/ supporting documentation. It seems to often come down to mere opinion/ anecdotal info. Republicans squirming after Trump's most recent rally suggests real unease and rightly so.

    That's hilarious. MSNBC is the voice of reason ?? Too funny.

    Trumponomics has just resulted in the elimination of the LFPR gap between Black and White workers. What Democrat has ever done that ??

    If you have a point to make about Fox News then make it. BTW does MSNBC/CNN have a conservative with his own 60 minute show ??

    The point I am making is that Shephard Smith disagrees with you as well as countless others. If Republicans are calling Trump a racist, don't you pulse and reflect for a moment?

    I can't express in words how disturbing it is that you continue to believe Don's lies even though you know he's a liar. You should just align yourself with the rest of the Trumpers who do not care about his lies rather than believe them.

    "People across the United States are breathing increasingly polluted air, according to the American Lung Association’s annual State of the Air report. Climate change is a major contributor to worsening air quality, and the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to roll back environmental protections could make it even worse."

    Trumponomics is nothing more than an un-affordable tax cut coupled with unsustainable rollbacks of rules designed to save the planet from global warming.

    First of all, where have I said I believed anything Trump said?
    Nothing Trump has done in two years which would have caused what they are talking about. Even the article does not claim Trump caused it. Only that it could make it worse. Since Obama was president for the previous eight years, he must have caused it.

    Hilarious. But it’s understandable that Democrats will not acknowledge the benefits accruing to low income Americans from Trumponomics.

    We see the same for every president. If you mocked Obama, you were "racist". Extremism on either side.

    LOL, the constant drum of the lefties overused race card has sent real racism to the waste bin.

    Trump is clearly not a racist. But of course in the eyes of Democrats all Republicans are racists.

    Yes. The charge of racism used to shut people up. Trump was one of the first to tell the race baiters that they are FOS.

    Now Ivanka is opposing the racism of her father per Wall Street Journal:

    "Thursday was merely the latest time the president’s daughter has been reported to have intervened to guard against her father’s worst impulses. The Wall Street Journal first reported:

    On Thursday morning, Ivanka Trump, Mr. Trump’s daughter and White House adviser, expressed her displeasure to him about the “send her back” chant at his campaign rally the night before, White House officials said. A group of House Republicans, including members of leadership, also complained to Vice President Mike Pence about the chant at a breakfast meeting, White House and congressional officials said."
