• Trump supporter who shouted down young black woman at Kentucky rally is an avowed “pro-white” activist

  02-03-2016 23:08 via salon.com
  Donald Trump's campaign rallies have taken on a violent tone for quite some time now. Last November, a Black Lives Matter activist was rough up by the a crowd at a Trump rally in Virginia. Immigration activists were accosted back in October. But now that Trump himself is openly flirting with right-wing racial agitators, the proverbial dog whistle has served as more of a rallying cry for avowed racist to attend Trump rallies as means of openly expressing their unabashed hatred.In his endorsement,

  Last night on television, as Donald Trump congratulated himself on sweeping several states in the GOP primaries on Super Tuesday, Gov. Chris Christie appeared to be having a bad night of it. The New Jersey politician, who recently ended his own bid for the presidency and then became the first major national Republican elected official to endorse Trump, delivered an affectless introduction for the candidate and then stood behind him looking pained for the duration of Trump’s half-hour

  The Super Tuesday results are in. On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won a fierce battle over Senator Bernie Sanders, taking home a majority of delegates in seven states compared to her rival’s four. In this heated campaign, you’d think that the stakes of the contest between Clinton and Sanders couldn’t be higher.While you wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, there is the chance that while making this observation, you’d inadvertently miss a

  On Super Tuesday, Donald Trump continued to lock in his chokehold on the Republican Party. He won seven of the 11 Republican 2016 presidential primaries and caucuses. Trump now has 302 delegates as compared to Ted Cruz’s 174 and Marco Rubio’s 104. The Republican “establishment” is in panic mode; it appears to most observers that Il Duce Donald Trump, the American right-wing’s version of Immortan Joe from the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road," is a fait accompli as the

• Marco Rubio is out of excuses: A feeble Super Tuesday leaves the GOP establishment favorite on the brink

  The allure of Marco Rubio as a presidential candidate has always been rooted in the promise of future victory. To believe strongly in the Rubio cause, you must understand that winning the moment is a fool’s desire, something to be shunned and mocked. It is the victory that hasn't happened yet that matters most, the one you can’t see no matter how hard you squint, but you nonetheless know is there. As we came up on the Iowa caucus, Sen.

  Bernie Sanders’s unexpected success has prompted the American left to consider something rather novel: the possibility of actually governing. The brutal rout in the South and failure to win by yuuuge margins in the Super Tuesday states where he is strong, however, highlight obstacles standing in the way. Namely: The U.S. lacks strong multi-racial social movements and the leadership of battered labor unions is mostly aligned with the party establishment.The Sanders coalition is in significa

  Donald Trump may have blamed a faulty earpiece for his failure to plainly disavow former Klu Klux Klan leader David Duke's semi-endorsement over the weekend, but new reporting indicates that Trump's hesitation was hardly due to technical difficulties and was likely part of a calculated flirtation with white nationalists.Trump’s oldest son, Donald Jr., gave a 20-minute interview last weekend, while his father was failing to disavow the KKK, to a notorious "pro-white" radio host who wil

  Super Tuesday was a very good night for Donald Trump. He didn't completely run the table but he cemented his status as the frontrunner.
