Not just Repubs supporting Trump.

IMO this is the quiet little secret that makes the final election a little tighter if Trump advances to face sHillery. Of course the NYT attempts to paint all trump supporters as racists, bigots. but the underlying fact remains in this article. MANY Dems quietly support him too.

Of course my opinion is that Dems have been the "plantation owners" for generations. But, what if Trumps rhetoric actually causes the usual racially motivated Dem to come to his side? What if this actually plays against the usual race baiting Dem candidate that uses race as an advantage this time around? Just speculating for discussion sake on these questions.

Dems just "support" trump to get Hillary the White House

That data is too old to be relevant to today's discussion.

That said, well duh. These are the same people like West Virginians who voted in a bunch of bigots to the state legislature.

You think Reagan's "state's rights" dog whistle was only for the South?

At least half of whites are bigots against some group; blacks, gays, Hispanics. Through in ragheads and it might be 75%.

You can see the Race line unfolding in the Democrat primary as we speak. White Democrats support Sanders and the Minority wing of the Party is for Hillary. All over Facebook and news articles White Democrats are trying to lecture the African Americans on why the should support their candidate instead of the one of their own choosing. Typical Democrats trying to keep the black folks down, or view them as subservient.

That is because we pay for all this shit. Like it or not whitey built the country. Whipped the British.

We have a right to bitch.

That being said, for the most part we want all the people to do well. Democrats do not.

Democrats thrive off of someone's misery.

I think the reason why Trump has such a high amount of support from the Black community is because they also dont like the hispanics and hope that trump will beat them down.

Data that isn't even 3 months old is NOT too old for this discussion. With that said, a larger % of Dems are crossing into Trumps corner. And they aren't doing it to get Hillary elected

Personally I think Trump may be genius in playing it this way. He knows (unlike the GOP) that playing for the moderates is a complete waist of time. A larger % of blue collar Americans (dem and repub) are pro America, USA #1, and tired of being blamed for the worlds issues. It's less to do about a group of voters disliking a race. More to do about a desire foreigners appreciating what America has done for them while assimilating legally into American society.

Only the laziest analysis looks at everything through the political rhetoric of skin color and labeling everything with the excuses of "racism". Dem elites have mastered that art and used it effectively in rallying their voters.

It isn't the only lense, but it is the one that shows why certain statements have not hurt his numbers.
