Quote:The whole premise of this thread is wrong. Trump is not a racist. Mexican is not a race. Trump is 100% for Trump; race is immaterial to him. And a lot of the Republican establishment and the conservative media are supporting the idea of someone like Romney or David French to run. There's not a lot of support for him from conservatives, and definitely not "much support" for him. He won the Republican nomination, but conservatives are a minority in the Republican party.


 

 

The anyone-but-Hillary position is causing some of the Republicans who hate Trump to nonetheless support him. Even if you consider Trump "racist" electing him is better than electing a traitor. 

 

The fact that race is immaterial to him is what pubs and dems have a problem with. There SHOULD be a privileged and non-privileged class in their eyes so they can play identity politics. When you take that away, you are left with two parties that essentially agree on the same things: military interventionism, global trade organizations, bloated government, and wall street lobbying. The fact that Trump wants to be friendly with Russia to avoid WW3, stop being the world police for free, ultimately ignore the middle-east, end the global trade initiatives, equalize everyone in terms of identity, and not take any lobbyist/PAC money is a big no-no. This are all antithetical to both Democrats and the Republicans.
