excerpt


."....It’s not as if the other Republican candidates were touting diversity and political correctness. What is it that most of these people do have in common that would draw them to Donald Trump? Philip Klinkner, professor of government at Hamilton College set out to find out and the answer isn’t pretty. Via Vox:

You can ask just one simple question to find out whether someone likes Donald Trump more than Hillary Clinton: Is Barack Obama a Muslim? If they are white and the answer is yes, 89 percent of the time that person will have a higher opinion of Trump than Clinton.




That’s more accurate than asking people if it’s harder to move up the income ladder than it was for their parents (54 percent), whether they oppose trade deals (66 percent), or if they think the economy is worse now than last year (81 percent). It’s even more accurate than asking them if they are Republican (87 percent).




Those results come from the 2016 American National Election Study (ANES) pilot survey. My analysis indicates that economic status and attitudes do little to explain support for Donald Trump.



Recall that Donald Trump was the King of the “Birthers,” the man who mainstreamed that inane conspiracy theory and continued to push it as recently as 2014:



Always remember, I was the one who got Obama to release his birth certificate, or whatever that was! Hilary couldn’t, McCain couldn’t.

“@futureicon (http://thenewstalkers.com/futureicon): @pinksugar61 (http://thenewstalkers.com/pinksugar61) Obama also fabricated his own birth certificate after being pressured to produce one by @realDonaldTrump (http://thenewstalkers.com/realDonaldTrump)”

How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived

People should be proud of the fact that I got Obama to release his birth certificate, which in a recent book he “miraculously” found.

This was his introduction to politics among the group of white voters who now revere him. It wasn’t economics or trade or even American pride that drew them. It was his cynical “othering” of the first black president and all that that culturally represented.


Klinkner did a series of elaborate regressions with a lot of data about these Trump voters. And after all is said and done, the analysis showed that these voters are primarily motivated by racial and ethnic animosity and resentment of social change. There’s just no way around it."

Asking "Is Barack Obama A Muslim?" is the easiest way to locate Trump supporters.

Who'd of thunk it?

So, what is the problem? If the Marxist was a Muslim what would he do differently?

He strongly supports the IslamoNAZIs in Iran. And he supports Islamofascism in general.

Birtherism is racist, not to mention stupid. In a poll taken late last year, 2/3 of Trump supporters were birthers.

They can't come to grips that a Black Man Won, therefore he must be an "other" and they have to denigrate him.

Changes nothing, he still Won, so have at it.

Is it impossible for someone born of a white American woman to be a Muslim? Can you explain why you believe "birtherism" is racist? What is the relationship between being recognizing the Marxist supports Islamofascism and birtherism?

I think it amazes you most of all.

Isn't it a shame he wasn't a Constitutional Conservative black man?

He won twice, so did GWB and I seem to remember the left telling us that he was an idiot?

And I don't know of any of the people on the Right bringing up that Obama is a bad president because he is black or Muslim.

It seems to be his policies that are what is making the economy suck? His policies that have the middle east on fire, and his policies that will allow Iran to become a nation with a nuclear bomb.

How would those policies be different if he was white?

I don't care what you call President Obama and I'm sure he doesn't either ... changes nothing. :laugh:

Good! Then you might not want to call everyone that does not support his failed policies a racist.

And you are correct Obama has changed very little in 7.5 years.

The same people who questioned Obama's birth certificate are the same people who posted fake photos of Obama and his family eating bananas on the White House lawn.

Of course it is racist.

Instead of being African, imagine if Obama's father was German or Irish. Would there have been a 'birther' movement? rofl.

The questions some of you people entertain are a joke.
