Trump

Donald Trump's racial rhetoric and poor business acumen make him unfit to occupy the Oval Office, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan told CNBC's "Worldwide Exchange" on Thursday.

Frank Lavin, Reagan's political director from 1987 to 1989, said he has voted Republican in presidential elections for 40 years, but will cast his ballot for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton this year because "she's just got a better approach to America's role in the world."

In recent weeks, dozens of Republicans including former national security officials have said they will not support Trump.

Lavin, now CEO at trade consulting firm Export Now, also served as an undersecretary in the Commerce Department and ambassador to Singapore under President George W. Bush. He said it is difficult for Republican politicians to break with Trump, but for him, the choice to support Clinton over his party's candidate was easy, citing the twin issue of his rhetoric and record of bankruptcies.

"If he's not actually a bigot, he certainly consorts with bigotry and plays to that sentiment," Lavin said.

Trump drew accusations of bigotry early in his campaign. When he announced his bid, he said many Mexican immigrants were criminals and rapists. He later angered fellow Republicans by saying a Mexican-American judge presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University could not be impartial because of his heritage.

so Rudy forgets 9/11 happened... and says radical Islamic attacks didn't start until Obama took office...

some Trump surrogate/campaign member said on TV that we were not in Afghanistan until Obama took office and called it the "Obama War"...

and that dipshit above asking "who says" the Trump campaign is down...

they are all just like Trump voters, clueless morons

I think Rudy has seriously, without kidding, lost his fucking marbles. he mentioned 9/11 mere seconds before saying that comment. he's like a fucking goldfish. he's like Dory from Finding Nemo.

Finding Rudy.

Yeah he's completely lost all credibility

Trump is the leader of one of the 2 American political parties and he is working exclusively with the ultra right, conspiracy media and pro-Russia people.
There ain't gonna be any middle any more, indeed.

Trump is not the leader of the Republican party.

The denial of liberals is astounding.

you shouldn't use the word liberal as a slur. a majority of americans side with the liberal side of the majority of issues.

trump is not going to win. anybody who still thinks he will is the one in denial.

At first, I thought it was funny when people said they really thought trump is going to win. Now, it's very sad.

And people really don't understand how one sided this election will be. Trump is going to lose by at least 15 points. It's going to be so bad, trump will be yelling that the system is rigged because there is no way he can lose that bad.
