Is anyone REALLY surprised tRump is in lockstep with a white supremacist?

From the moment that bastard rode the escalator down to announce his candidacy for President June 16, 2015 and opened his mouth it was quite clear where his heart and head were. Mexicans were deemed rapists and soon followed talk of a Muslim ban. Nothing but hate, hate and more hate for anything that wasn't white is all we heard. The most disgusting thing about it was his words were like a dog whistle to the millions that felt the same as he but afraid to speak about it. tRump empowered and emboldened all the like minded hate groups in this nation as well as the world.

And now people seem shocked (the MSM and some repub pundits) that tRump is dining and consorting with a white supremacist?? Like no one capable of critical logical thinking could clearly see that this in time would divide this nation to a state not seen since the Civil War. None of us are Nostradumus but I would bet most here could see this coming.

The hate, the disdain for the rule of law, the bigotry, misogyny, homophobia etc have been in full display since he opened his mouth that fateful June day and not just by tRump but all those that support and condone his behavior.

How do we stop it? By being better than them, be inclusive, open minded, lead by example and vote the bastards out. Vote like our lives and those of our children depend on it because our future IS depending on that and us!

Is there a common connection? Yes, Trump has issues with anyone who doesn’t fall in with him, but he also falls in with those he can use. Walker is a puppet, so the same with people like Dr. Carson and the women he used to get to the top. Now, it is Fuentes. He is uses Fuentes to get votes, but holds Fuentes in high regard. This from a man whose daughter is married into a Jewish family.

...that teased them but never followed through.

They sat up and wagged their tails for him because he just stuck his fingers in his mouth and openly whistled, loud and clear.
