Trump should simply respond that the Dems are the klanparty.

And if it weren’t for Klansman Senator Robert Byrd, Hillary’s husband would’ve been successfully impeached.

Oh give me a break. It would have taken 67 votes to convict Clinton. One charge got 45 votes and the other got 50. Byrd could have voted to convict and it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. He was one vote of many.

If you want to tar Hillary with that you'll have to do better.

>> His behavior is making the act of running for the presidency into a reality show <<

Less like a reality show, than like a WWE match.

You taking up for Holliary now? You Trump haters now take the side of the IRS, the media and even Hilliary if you perceive it to be a hit on Trump.

And yet, just yesterday Trump claimed didn't know anything about David Duke.

maybe he has a brain tumor or some other medical condition affecting his memory. That would explain many things.

So you're the one.

Sorry, Trump’s insulting style cancels out any sympathy from me on issues like this.

OK. So you're saying it's not a smear job.

A: David Duke didn’t endorse Trump - see his website.
B: The ideal Trump response: “I will not condemn ANYONE, and ANYONE is free to vote for me. Got a problem with that?”
C: The “disavowal” scam is an old game the media has used against Republicans for ages. I wish someone other than Trump had stood up to it. Or better still...
D: “Mrs. Clinton, do you disavow your endorsement by the anti-life hate group Planned Parenthood?”

The story from Sunday is that there was NO reason for Jake Tapper to ask Trump a question he’d already responded to more than once. This is just a MSM shill tactic to try and get a politician they don’t like to slip up and make a mistake they can exploit.

I think Trump was just irritated with being hectored with the same question again and he refused to play along with the MSM game. He didn’t handle it perfectly, but if we had a media with any integrity, the story would be why was Tapper bringing up a question that has been answered more than once.

I’ve been a Cruz supporter from the get go, but honestly, if Cruz pursues this angle against Trump, I’m done with him too. A candidate can’t selectively choose who does and doesn’t endorse him (with a few exceptions, of course). Cruz not only accepted, but embraced that nut bag Glenn Beck, which I’m willing to accept, albeit reluctantly. Want to criticize someone for an endorsement, criticize Sanders for the endorsement of the CPUSA.

Cruz pushed these stories when he was interviewed by Chris Wallace on Sunday. He said Trump was behind the white supremacist robo-calls. Wallace did not ask him about this.

What robo-calls? If there were such calls, it would be someone who was against Trump. No candidate in their right mind would approve of such robo-calls. Cruz knew Trump had disavowed Duke’s endorsement on Friday, yet he put out this robo-call story on Sunday.

David Duke endorsed McCain in 2008. Don’t seem to recall the media wanting to run McCain out of the race.

The media has wanted to run Trump out of the race on any number of issues and they haven't done it yet. But I have no doubt that the Democrat campaign commercial writers have been taking careful notes.

No, though Trump seems to be doing her more favors than anyone.

Sorry but Hilliary is shaking in her boots at the thought of running against Hilliary. Drudge has a poll which shows Hilliary might even lose NY to Trump.

I’m really sick of all this take-it-out-of-context bull**it esp. when it crosses the line and tries to totally destroy someone’s character, like trying to connect someone to the KKK or the Mafia. I don’t think I’m being too sensitive on this. I think Rubio slamming Trump for having small hands and therefore a small something else is pretty pathetic. The world must think we’re all low-class Neanderthals. I’m totally taking a break from talk radio and political TV. Turned off Mike Gallagher today and turned on the classic rock radio and I’m a lot happier now.

If he doesn’t know OF him in Feb 2016, why did he denounce him in Aug 2015?

He never said he didn't know "of" him. He said he didn't know him and has never met him. The press and his political opponents twisted it to suggest that he said he didn't know "of" him.
