"What do you have to lose?"

Those are Trump's words to black people regarding their voting for him.

What an outrageous piece of shit-filled reasoning to throw at someone. What chutzpah. What an insult to human beings who have been consecutively enslaved, lynched, abused and spit on for centuries.

We should all be ashamed that Donald Trump is an American. We should all be ashamed that the rest of the world hears this garbage coming from him and thinks it's what many Americans believe. We should all be ashamed that so much ignorance exists in our country that a man like this can be a candidate to be our next president.

I'm running out of words for how to describe this boil on the ass of humanity. All I can say is that, if he's not defeated in a landslide, I'd really like to get out of this country and live elsewhere if I could.

He tried to tear down every African American community in this nation with his all-inclusive racist remarks.

It is terrible.

Cyrano, you wrote, "We should all be ashamed that the rest of the world hears this garbage coming from him and thinks it's what many Americans believe."

When I speak with friends and colleagues from overseas, they are almost all perplexed by Donald Trump's ascendance in politics. It has illustrated starkly how many ignorant, uneducated and bigoted citizens with whom we share our nation.

I am ashamed by a large part of our fellow citizens. They do not represent American values.
