Of course Donnie Short Fingers can win with racism

I'm just watching the media spending all day normalizing it and playing the "both siderism" game.

As long as the MSM normalizes his hate and racism, of course he can win with nothing but hate and racism.

Our fucking current media would gladly put Goebbels on so that they wouldn't be accused of "bias".

We don't have a news media anymore. We have nothing but whipped pups and errand boys.

They may not be "out" in public, but they are. They will tell a pollster or anyone around them they won't vote for him, but he shares their values, racism. The other group who would follow him to hell and back are the evangelicals who are two issue voters, abortion and gay marriage. Then there are the uber rich or those who think they will be someday. They love his lack of regulation, letting the banks run crazy, lower taxes those things. The majority of voters are just not that bright. They are easily swayed by PAC ads that tell them what to think, and scare them to death.

Yes, he can win, and he may if we don't get busy and choose a candidate with enough time and money to win.

count on the Russians sneaking up on everybody to help him steal it again.

You're saying there are more racists in the country than the rest of us.

I don't think so. White women left him in 2018 and he ain't doing nothing to get them back. Kids in cages? Nah. Women especially, whatever ethnicity, don't agree with that.
