Miami, FL -- Is Donald Trump a racist?
Pressed on the question early on at the Democratic here Wednesday night, neither Bernie Sanders nor Hillary Clinton would say yes. But they didn't quite say no, either.
Clinton said there would be plenty of time to talk about Trump during the general election. But she did call Trump "un-American" for his proposals to deport undocumented immigrants and bar Muslims from entering the country.
"His trafficking in prejudice and paranoia has no place in our political system, especially from someone running for president who couldn't decide whether or not to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke. So people can draw their own conclusions about him," Clinton explained.
Still, she would not call him a racist. And neither would her opponent.
Sanders said that the American people are "never" going to elect a president who insults Mexicans, Muslims, women and African-Americans. He reminded the crowd that Trump was a major player in the birther movement, which pressured President Obama to show birth certificate

Two socialists calling a capitalist “un-American.” Only in 21st century America.
HAH! They’re scared shyte-less.
(plus the know it’s just not true)
First of all, he isn’t.
And second of all, the Democrats are getting VERY wary of ruffling his feathers.
This is a good thing.
Trump might donate to both of them in the future, so they are not doing to bad mouth sugar daddy Trump.
Right! lol
They don’t want to insult all of the white, blue-collar, union Dems that are supporting Trump ...the Dims are scared of Trump’s crossover appeal in this area ...Trump is putting the rust-belt in play and the Dims are panicking
This is amazing ...Trump has barely lifted a finger against the DIMS yet, and the DIMS most two effective weapons (sexism and racism) have been effectively blunted ...
Only Trump has been able to do this: tame the bullies of the left.
Exactly ...
Bring out the Clinton blackface pics.
Lol. He’s sporting a Trump stickered hard hat, Tee shirt and button while giving the arm extended salute. Guess he’s a nazi too. Go Trump!
I remember when the word 'Nazi' used to mean Nazi.
Of course he is not a racist.
The real racist is that lady in some other thread saying she did not want to see small white children in school telling small children of color that they will be deported.
That is really offensive. First it assumes that legal immigrant are at risk. Not true, it only illegal immigrants at risk of being deported. Then it assumes that only whites are concerned about illegal immigration. Just as well black kids or other Hispanic kids, or mixed kids or Asian kids could be telling the illegal kids that they could be deported.
And lastly it assumes all illegal immigrant, specially Hispanics have the same shade of color. That is just ignorant. There are black Hispanics, white Hispanics, Indian Hispanics, brown Hispanics and every shade in between
It seems to me those accusing Trump of racism are the real racists. We should call them out on their bigotry.
GOPe is playing the race card
Anyone believe these two fear Mr. Haney? Nope!
