      He lost handily because of people of color. Majority of whites voted for him. Why do you think Trump hesitated to disavow?

      He also lost because the state GOP opposed Duke and rallied around Edwards. Duke is not a formidable political figure in Louisiana

      Exactly. I don't understand what's to be gained by pretending there aren't ideological white nationalists in America.

      Not pretending they don't exist, just reminding that they are marginal figures.http://www.counterpunch.org/2009/05/15/king-of-the-hate-business/ …

      Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. I think he's running a racist campaign. Do you agree?

      Did Romney run a racist campaign? (Partnered with Breitbart, called BHO a terrorist-sympathizer). Just wondering.

      You don't think there's a qualitative difference between GOP dog-whistles & what Trump is doing?

      Romney went beyond dog-whistling. Partnered with hate conspiracy sites and said Obama was in league with jihadists.

      Romney said that life should be made so miserable for undocumented Hispanics that they'd "self-deport." Racist?

      My position has long been this sort of stuff paved way for Trump, but Trump takes it to a higher more explicit level

          So then Romney ran a racist campaign, just in a more subtle and less overtly crude manner?

          in modern politics you're supposed to allude to the n word not actually say it. Totally not racist that way
