"And the Republicans hijacked the racism of the Southern Democrats, many of whom switched parties in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Act." -IKe

Is this list supposed to prove your point "And the Republicans hijacked the racism of the Southern Democrats"

Who on that list belongs in that category?
Give example of why that person does belong on the list.

You can start with: 1962 – Ronald Reagan, while an actor and former Screen Actors Guild president.[3] Later 40th President of the United States (1981–1989)

You beat me with a like answer.
Exactly the same train of thought.
Politicians will do what it takes to remain in office. Distancing themselves from the party of the KKK was a no brainer for their personal political survival. These people were far from John Burchers .

eagleye13 Loc: Fl

Yep!
Liberals be naked, when trying to defend their positions.

I can not understand how they can continue to turn a blind eye to historical facts.
It's beyond me. I will never understand how so many of them do this and continue
the lies and in this case to themselves. I don't get it. Never will. It's nothing new for people
to get duped but in this day and age there is no excuses. No one can claim ignorance.
It's stupidity , not ignorance.

You believe your own bull shit do you? Why is it you pass right over the fact that Hillary and Obama have been in charge while screwing this country up. You rant and rave about trump like he has been in charge of the government for the last 8 years. You are blind or stupid, possibly both. You, and people just like you, have screwed up this country. And you have the gall to talk about Trump as though he did.
You can yell your head off, scream at the top of your lungs, curse, cuss, spit, sputter, rant and rave. All to no avail. The plain fact is, Obama and Hillary, and the entire Obama administration, have put this country in the place it finds itself now.

These fools have had 8 years to do something to fix all theses problems. Have they? No. So the only question is why? The answer to that is because they are all incompetent. So your answer is, to put them in charge for 4 more years. You are a special kind of stupid.

Hillary has already paid off the AG. So you might as well bow and kiss her ass

They are either consummate liars believing they will gain personally, or they suffer genetic defect.

I don't get it. The whole nation is an open asylum.

RETW, They're not incompetent. They succeeded in screwing the country up, as planned. Now that it's a mess, Obama will call it an"emergency"and pull his Martial law planinto effect. All hail King Obama, or die.

Gosh, I wasn't aware I stated that every conservative hated Trump. I thought the whole point was that because RW media destroyed the credibility of mainstream media there was no one left to fact check people like Donald Trump. Just think, if you weren't so mistrustful of mainstream media you might just have someone like Cruz as the nominee and a legitimate shot at wining back the WH.

But hey, if shooting the messenger makes you feel better then shoot away--I'm sure that will make the message less true...
