“You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in. But I need to get 50.1% or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.”

I'm looking for a source on your claim that the racist vote "is about all they have left." Like, numbers and what not.

That was not my claim. But I think you are taking the pp too literally. She means that the GOP cannot win national elections without them.

Saying that the racist vote is "all they have left" does not equal "they need those votes to win." It implies that the only people voting for Trump/Pence are racists. I'm not even a Trump supporter, but I'm not a fan of claims like that about either candidate. I'm sure this post will be met with deflection, but all I'm looking for is a source for PP's claim.

If you're not racists, you wouldn't support someone who supports racists.

When Clinton said half of Trump's supporters are deplorable, she might've underestimated.

So now Pence SUPPORTS white supremacists because he refused to engage in what he considered name calling?

Deplorable is a perfectly respectable adjective and doesn't fall under the rubric of "name calling."

Dummy, dope, moron, dumb, clown, loser, major loser, dopey clown, really dumb puppet -- that is name calling.

(All used by Trump to describe other people, many times over.)


And the PP, obviously


You forgot "Pocahontas", which he used to describe Elizabeth Warren used again today on live TV.

He could have easily said "Yes, the actions of David Duke and his white supremacist movement are deplorable." Strong position taken, no name calling.

But he didn't. He refused to engage on the basis of no name-calling even while sharing a ticket with a man who enjoys calling people all sorts of names.

"'We don't want his support and we don't want the support of the people who think like him,' he said."

-article in OP

So where do I find the part where he supports racists?

The 35 percent of Americans who believe Obama is a Muslim from Kenya is kinda key to the GOP,

I believe the Republican standard is that he must "repudiate" them. Or if you are Palin, "refudiate". Just politely saying they don't want his support isn't good enough.

He lifted the Pocahontas moniker. Massachusetts voters had already been mocking her with that for a long time.

Using "Pocahontas" to demean someone is racist.

I do not know know why Wolf Blitzer did not ask whether he considers "fat pig", "loser", "little marco", "lying ted" etc amounts to name calling. Why did he not ask Pence to denounce those statements?
