Trump was on the today show on Tuesday. They asked him about David Duke and race relations. He answered "no one has done more for minorities than me." He then illustrated this by talking about a club he built in South Florida and virtually anyone can get into the club, that was it, his self-proclaimed platform of race issues; a club that nearly everyone can get into.

Watching the pundits on CNN try to psychoanalyze people voting for Trump is pretty great."Well, it's race.""It's a populist revolution.""It's the disenfranchised."This is something that's going to be studied for a long time. It's a fascinating case study that covers a lot of areas.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
The establishment has been turning a blind eye to the growing racist element of their party, and now they are stuck with the result
I didn't know where to put this but I highly recommend reading this. It is truly a great read. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/02/local-texas-gop-chairman-goes-on-vulgar-homophobic-twitter-rant-about-hillary-clinton-and-fellow-republicans/?postshare=7251456930964562&tid=ss_tw
The whole trump thing boils down to the fact that you have millions of uneducated and mild to medium racist white people spread across the entire country who have spent the last eight years of their lives fuming over that uppity you know what that is in charge of "their" country. Trump is the lowest common denominator who is more than happy to pander to these idiots and tell them whatever he thinks they want to hear and they are lapping it up. Build a wall! Kill Muslims! Make America great again! It's all kind of just code for this is a country for white people and everyone else should know their roles.
Uh huh - keep blaming raaaacism.
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting
Is their data segmenting trumps electorate thus far? I thought he was getting a fairly decent subset of each minority group within each state. I guess it feels disingenuous to say the majority of his votes this far are poor uneducated white people.
A fascinating sub-plot is the closet trump supporters passively attempt to make him sound good.

Liberals however march lockstep and force everyone to vote the democrat nominee and also straight line vote for democrats (republicans don't do that tho)
