[okaawhatever]

1. Ah yes. Trump's siren call for nationalism nt

[misterhighwasted]

3. Indeed. Trump & 90% of the Republicans in DC & the USA.

Bill Clinton knows.

[Nitram]

20. White nationalism, to be exact.

[TNNurse]

24. And it is an insult to everything that is great about this country.

Sure there are problems.....

[AmericanActivist]

2. Amen! I am a white southerner too raised by white southerners

President Bill Clinton is right about what that phrase means.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. He's the best!

Just like they say it without "saying it", he calls them out without "saying it".

[AmericanActivist]

5. Yes, very clever huh. I have always admired his intellect and his

Speaking abilities. He is a great communicator.

[Demsrule86]

14. My Mom was from the South.

She was remarkable for her time...worked for civil rights. But I have family members who understand Trump perfectly and are on boards...but happily only two in my entire extended family...one is a true Trump follower...white male and resentful and the other is an older woman who actually is a one issue voter...abortion and hates Trump but is concerned for the courts... the South is changing and on election day, I think Trump may be very surprised to find that he and those like him have become the minority...I sure hope so. I should say that the home place was Virginia...when your Dad is in the military and you move around...one place is considered home. Even after he got out, we move a great deal.

6. Now, does he mean ...

Racism, sexism, homophobia and all that?

Y'all have probably already seen this, but it pretty much covers it all (including how great America was when you could hang your slave from a cottonwood tree).

7. That's a MUST SEE video. Post it on social media everyone. Spread it far and wide.

And, it is both classy and very entertaining.

[dae]

12. On the money.

[Lucinda]

8. KNR Thank you!

[paleotn]

9. You and me both, Bill...

....translated.... "Make Amurka white again."

[ThoughtCriminal]

10. This middle-aged southerner is not fooled by dog-whistles

They see a man with a head of grey hair and I get asked where I'm originally from.

"Born and raised in Alabama, but I've been in Arizona for over 30 years."

Oh, and then they think I share their "Values" and I have to listen to what they say when they "Don't have to be politically correct".

[GulfCoast66]

11. Yep

Live in Florida. Wear boots and jeans. Drive a big truck. Not a small guy.

I am starting to enjoy it when his supporters make comments they think I will agree with. And looking them directly in the eye and telling them I am a social democrat. And favor European style government. Has happened 2 times. I was worried at first about getting into a fight but both times they just stopped talking.

[NNadir]

23. That's gotta be cool. I'm an old fat white guy, and I wonder if people are looking at...

...me with a jaundiced eye, not that my demographic doesn't deserve it.

I work with a lot of immigrants - scientists, but immigrants all the same - many junior to me, and finally some asked me who I was voting for.

When I told them "I'm with her..." they all were really, really, really happy.

[Quantess]

13. K & R

[Cha]

15. Mahalo, Bill Clinton!

Thank you, mister!

[Democat]

16. Thank you Bill Clinton

We all know what they are talking about.

[Sunlei]

17. It means-remove the right to vote from the other 2/3rds of poc in alabama?

we're up to 5.8 million Americans who have 'paid their debt to society' yet have lost their right to vote.

We also have about a half million workers, who work for Corps sewing blue jeans, crafting military vests, making shoes, skinning fish farms & slaughter houses under the 13th amendment "loophole" where they are slave labor.

[UCmeNdc]

18. Vote the GOP Bums out of office. Please!

[Nitram]

19. Tell it like it is, Bill!

It's a call to put minorities "back in their place."

[LakeArenal]

21. He does give a great speech. Wish Hillary was able to be so casual.

Still, she is the most qualified in my life time. Maybe once she is in the WH she can relax into her true self.. The funny, Kind, smart woman most of us know she is.

[allan01]

22. that means

the right to discrimintate via religious means .
segregated schools .
the killing off of ssi and ss .
the return of blue lawss .
making their buddies richer.
