>Donald Trump, the real estate developer who plays a billionaire on television and in real life, has added new levels of sleaze and maniacal white Know-Nothingism to the U.S. electoral farce<

This author has taken asshattery to an entirely new level. Republicans look at behavior, not at color. The obvious, glaring example of that is Dr Ben Carson, who is currently polling second only to Trump, himself.

It is Democrats who lump all black people into the same group. Heaven forbid any black person think for himself and vote outside the Rat party!

Ford is the poster boy for projection. He is a disgusting bigot.

Richard Nixon sealed the deal in the 1968 election with his “southern strategy,” effectively transferring the White Man’s Party brand to the Republicans.

It is Richard Nixon’s fault that when he ran for POTUS in 1960, looking for significant black (politely called “negro” back then) support, got bupkis from blacks and lost to Kennedy by a gnat’s eyebrow? If Republicans are a “white” party it was blacks who made it so.

The “southern strategy” - now, the “red state strategy” - followed the decision of blacks to reject the party of Lincoln. So don’t give me the “Nixon did it" excuse, Mister - you and the ones who did it. You did it, notwithstanding that blacks were (albeit quietly) aided substantially by the (objectively quite “liberal”) Eisenhower Administration.

You did it, and the result was the “Great Society” programs which stopped the progress of black prospects it its tracks. You sold your birthright for a mess of pottage - and you blame the results on me. I am not impressed.
