There is no evidence that Donald Trump is more racist than any past Republican candidate (or any other 70 year old white guy, for that matter).

huh ? nice-left handed compliment.

Horrible article written by a sophomore in hig school. Needed to fill up the essay with 250 words none of which make any sense.

He goes on to debunk this argument from the left.

“I realize that all of this is going to make me sound like a crazy person and put me completely at odds with every respectable thinker in the media, but luckily, being a crazy person at odds with every respectable thinker in the media has been a pretty good ticket to predictive accuracy lately, so whatever.”

How can such people be considered “respectable,” now?

This article exposes the bubble world group think of the Junk Media. He has to apologize to them in advance for telling them facts they don’t want to hear

"....every respectable thinker in the media...."

Just specifically who fall in to that category?

thanks. .
Here's from the source of this article:

"Please don’t interpret anything in this article to mean that Trump is not super terrible"

what does this mean ?

I read his 10/2015 screed and then read the article related to the "super terrible" hyper-link.

I'm still not sure how to take this writer

We should not disabuse the Rats of their misconceptions. If we can keep them afraid of the boogeyman under the bed we can kick their ass again.

How could voter turnout be equal to or less than previous elections?

I saw lines bigger than I have ever seen.

There are more than a few ways to commit voter fraud. NOT COUNTING votes is one good way. When you see long lines, but then look at the results from your district and see counts similar to last election, then something is wrong.

TRUMP AND THE GOP MUST ADDRESS VOTER FRAUD.

I firmly believe the democraps pulled out all the stops to generate as much voter fraud as they could, only they could not generate enough. Trumps support was vastly bigger than hilLIARy’s, judging by the pitiful turnout at her rallies compared to the huge rallies Trump had.

I am not sure how to take him either. The quotes destroy the MSM narrative. Maybe he is mocking them???

What made McCain and Romney “honorable men” is that they lost.

Yeah, but consider who this writer's writing for. In other words, for Scott Alexander's intended (left-wing) audience, this is a real, thump-your-head insight.
