The absurd thing about it is:
It's the year 2016, and a discussion of the freaking Ku Klux Klan has entered the presidential election race.
It's beyond absurd.
The Republican party seems to be completely incapable of shutting this kind of thing down.
Every election, the Klan boogie man makes an appearance, courtesy of the media.
The GOP should have glued the Klan label onto the Democrats decades ago.
Our side is singularly obsessed with ideology and has completely forgotten about salesmanship, message, optics, image, and media strategy.
well said
No what’s incredibly and despicably worse is that the GOP establishment has JOINED the KKK meme and the “ show us your tax returns” meme right along with the democrats!
I can never again respect Ryan after he pulled his faux outrage card against Trump for not “ disavowing” racism.
He is a pathetic little stooge who wants to be Hillary’s lapdog and rubber stamp the rinodem agenda. As long as he gets the same pay and gets to keep the big office and spend weekends at home. At least he shaved his jihad beard.
Apparently many of our Republican “leaders” are so uninformed themselves that they don’t know the original KKK was a Democrat terrorist group from c. 1867 to 1880.

The Dims (with some Soros funding) and the media always push something in each cycle to motivate parts of their base...last time it was “Occupy Wall Street’ and birth control to make Romney and the Pubbies out to be a mean businessman who wanted to take the ‘Pill’ away from women. This meme mobilized the young unemployed and white women voters to Obama!
Leading up to this cycle we see ‘Black Lives Matter’ and now the re-emergence of the ‘Kl Klux Klan’ and Hitler. The MSM meme will be that Trump or Cruz and the Pubbies are racist dictators hellbent on destroying minority lives. Without Obama on the ballot, these images are designed to mobilize Blacks and Latinos to support ‘dat old whitey woman’...the Hildabeast!
F. Chuck Todd, Chrissy Matthews and their ilk will gladly play along!
