(10,126 posts)We had George Wallace, the KKK and others touting segregation and hate, etc.
But we had MLK, the Kennedys and others who helped us kids as did many of my teachers turn our parents around.
Today, my 90 year old Mom's favorite person to follow in the news - which she does every single day - is Barack Obama. She thinks the world of him.
Trumps followers demonstrate we still have some work to do.
I always thought George W Bush was an embarrassment as president. To me, Trump is an even bigger embarrassment as a candidate for president.
Hopefully, the country comes to it's senses.

(11,045 posts)or two, first. This 'poll' is practically worthless.

(5,722 posts)Clinton is tops of all national polls of Democrats. You either get more corporatocracy with Clinton or outright fascism with Trump.

(613 posts)Considering the GOP turnout in the primaries has hovered around 20% for a decade or more, this translates to about 8% support nationally. It certainly does not include any Democratic or Independent voters.
The poll itself is a very small sample size, so even considering it an indicator is like believing there were 10 shooters on the grassy knoll and two in the limo.
All posting the results of this poll does is give Trump and the GOP free advertising. Which for some strange reason DU seems intent on providing.
