(152,964 posts)the post makes it clear he is referring to Gergen, and that it is his opinion.....which I very much agree with. Repukes are good at talking and acting oh-so-shocked, but do they (or we) REALLY expect any different from the that piece of shit Trump?

Trump will use the White Nationalist movement to his advantage against any and every Liberal ideal group in the Country.

(2,412 posts)This nasty, hate filled speech was one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard on American TV. My stomach turned as Trump demonized democrats, Hispanics, Arabs and made people think that they were being threatened by these groups. This raised the level of fear and hate in this country. If the stadium filled with people was the real America then, God help us! He pushed the buttons of fear, hate, racism, nationalism, war and made people afraid and hateful. He said that we have to have a battle with the Sanctuary Cities that seek to protect these criminals who are threatening your family! We have stooped very low here. We must get this man impeached! He is hateful and dangerous.
