If Trump is not a racist and misogynist...

[SWE]

...then why has he spent his entire career saying deeply and shamelessly racist and misogynistic things?

Lest we forget, this is the guy who made Birtherism mainstream. And all of these things that he has said as a matter of campaign strategy he has said in public, on a national stage, as part of a successful major-party presidential campaign. And he doesn't have a problem with all of this - quite the contrary. He actively embraces it.

I absolutely believe Trump and his supporters when they say he's "authentic." He's not bulls****ting; this is what he really believes. And he will be the next President of the United States of America. Think about that for a moment.

Yes, of course, challenging the legitimacy of someone's presidency makes one a racist.  That's probably one of the most foolish claims I've yet heard!

Show me ANYONE challenging the legitimacy of Bush's presidency based on birthplace. Or Clinton's. Or  Reagan's. I'll wait.

Yep, all those folks that questioned Chester A, Arthur's legitimacy were racists.

You know you're winning the argument when you have to go back more than a century to find an example to support your case!

Was there any reason to? 
I mean
Connecticut, Texas, Andover, Yale, Alabama, Harvard , Texas - son of a US President
and
Arkansas, Yale, Oxford, Arkansas, - Son of town drunk
isn't
Hawaii, Indonesia, Hawaii, occidental, Columbia, Harvard - son of a Kenyan

...Hillary really shouldn't have started that mess and Barack probably should have cleared it up in an early speech like he did with his racist pastor. 

Seriously? C'mon you don't mean that...Obama was the one in the wrong during the birther movement not the birther movement itself?! Your nuts.

Barrack was so weirdly slow to respond to pretty simple questions that many other candidates answer  because he probably lied on numerous forms throughout his life similar to the liz warren situation.  He stalled and delt with it as late as he could in his second term to minimize any possible damage.  That is the only theory that makes sense other than he is such a divisive demagogue that he purposely fueled the thing so he had "an example of racism" to club people with. 

When I'm asked where I was born, I answer honestly. 
If, an employer asks for documentation, I provide it.  I  don't scream racism. 

you guys are so nuts!

...I'll wait for an example of me calling employers racist because they asked for paperwork.

Yeah, Obama waited "as long as possible" He was born in Hawaii, as he had been saying since Day 1.

right 2011 is day 1 of 2007.
