    I'm still wondering:

    Will all of those celebrities who vowed to emigrate if Trump won be moving in with all of those celebrities who emigrated when Obama won?

    Will anyone be sharing Nugent's prison cell?

    Maybe they can just swap houses.
    The ones who fled Obama will want to return

    Ok, Tim, explain why the KKK chief mucky-muck, David Duke, and Crusader newsletter endorsed Donald Trump prior to the election.  Secondly, what's the deal with the parade in North Carolina organized by the KKK to celebrate Trump's victory?

    Also, you can't blame the media for simply reporting what Trump says.  Geez, the guy spent most of his time slamming his competitors, tweeting his brains out, making goofball promises to make America great again, etc.  The guy is a celebrity first and foremost.  He thrives on attention.  That's what celebrities do.

    I saw a post from one guy who hated Trump simply because of the David Duke endorsement. So what if he did? He can endorse anyone, didn't he endorse Obama? http://www.inquisitr.com/2849318/david-duke-endorsed-president-obama-in-2008-no-one-asked-him-to-disavow/ As long as the candidate doesn't support the policies of hate groups or its leaders, it's nothing to be concerned about. For the record:

    Question: “How do you feel about the recent endorsement from David Duke?”Trump: “I didn’t even know he endorsed me. David Duke endorsed me? Okay, all right. I disavow, okay?”— Trump, in response to a question at a news conference, Feb. 26


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/01/donald-trump-and-david-duke-for-the-record/

    Now, compare that with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPL2JlJBuqs

    Hillary Clinton Endorses Former KKK Member Robert Byrd as Secretary of State

    or

    As far as the stuff going on at York vo tech, Has anyone actually seen the video? I read that the students carrying the signs might not be the ones shouting 'white power'.

    Re: Haters gotta hate

    So, is it your position that only people on the leftward part of the political spectrum are capable of hate?

    I guess I hallucinated when I saw a T shirt that said "Trump that Bitch".
    Or the one that said "F Islam".
    Or the screams at Trump rallies, "Beaner", "N", "Fag", "Dyke".

    Seriously, where are you going with this?

    Honestly Fred I can't see blaming Trump for who decides to endorse him. 

    Mind you, he should speak up against full-on hate groups but I don't see a KKK endorsement as his fault.

    This sounds more like a KKK effort gain members.

    If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

    Re: Haters gotta hate

    The question to consider is, why would hate groups find a Trump candidacy attractive?

    But, we will probably just continue the contest of hand-picked anecdotes instead.

    Re: Haters gotta hate

    So, because of David Duke's so-called 'endorsement' of Barack Obama in '08, the KKK has little to do with promoting white supremacy?  The KKK is so misunderstood and it's the media's fault for depicting them that way?  The parade in North Carolina is simply a celebration and, if they were better organized in '08, would have done the same for Barack Obama.  Ok.

    I don't blame Trump, either.  My question is why they thought it was a good idea to endorse him in the first place?  And after the election, I don't recall the KKK organizing a parade to celebrate the election of any other president in the past.

    It's a battle of hand-picked anecdotes, and laughably flawed conclusions, substituting for reason.

    IMO, The KKK is dying.  They're desperately scrambling for membership and for relevance.

    They have precious little of either so they're struggling with how to survive. 

    My guess?  They came out in favor of Trump because they think they can get away with it.

    They're likely counting on Trump not speaking against them even if he doesn't support them.

    If I were his campaign manager, I'd strongly recommend him stating that he in no way supports the KKK.

    Remaining silent will be viewed as an endorsement.
