David Duke On Trump: He’s “Certainly The Best Of The Lot” Running For President

Source: www.buzzfeed.com

David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and self-described “racial realist,” says Donald Trump is the best Republican candidate for president because he “understands the real sentiment of America.”
Duke, who unsuccessfully ran for president as a Democrat in 1988 and later served in the Louisiana House of Representatives, noted Trump’s experience as a salesman and his “great sense” of what people want to buy.

He doesn't want to be President. He just wants to secure the loyalties of some of the dumbest but loyal voters out there - the teabaggers. Those teabaggers will anoint Trump their leader and vote however Trump tells them to vote. And there are enough members loyal to the Tea Party movement that it might not secure a Presidency but in the Midterms it could swing congress back to the GOP.

Move over Koch Brothers, the GOP will now be bowing down to the will of Donald Trump.

Oh and these idiots will also buy all of Trump's (and his daughters) cheaply 'made-in-china' clothing and other trinkets thinking if they wear it they'll look 'oh-so-fancy'.

David Duke won 7% in SC, 9% in LA, 11% in MS. He won smaller percentages in other states - still winning 2% in Oregon, for instance.

I think this this implicit endorsement as well as stories of white supremacists will begin to turn off non-Tea-Party Republicans and most Independents.

Three other indications his poll numbers may soonn start slipping:

1.) State Republican leaders in Virginia and North Carolina trying to keep him off the ballot as a third-party candidate:

2.) Brian Kilmeade this morning on Fox & Friends attacking Trump for unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly yesterday. (And he has been on Fox & Friends numerous times since the debate.)

3.) Trump's plans for rounding up all illegal aliens and deporting them not only sounds increasingly silly if not impossible even to Republicans like Bill O'Reilly and Jeb Bush, but these plans sound eerily similar to such plans in Germany and France in the 1940s (and I think even our sleepwalking fellow citizens can unconsciously hear that), which is disgusting not to mention very frightening.
