***THUNK!!!!****

That's the sound of desperate Republicans dropping Benghazi and emails and running over to froth at the mouth about Clinton's "47 Percent" moment.

Fuck them. They are racists, xenophobic, homophobic and just fucking dumb all-around.

5. Donald Sucks But Bigotry Theme Is Overrated

There is certainly a case to be made that Donald Trump's awkward and clumsy rhetoric can appeal to islamophobic and xenophobic bigots. However, much of his rhetoric that is considered “misogynistic” is questionable. For instance, his insult towards Carly Fiorina has also been directed at Rand Paul during the Republican Presidential nomination debate where #Loser Donald insinuated that Paul was unattractive. Yet, the insult towards Carly was considered a put-down of women. How is that the case? He insulted the appearance of one woman. Ann Kasparian called Alex Jones a “fat fuck.” Is this comment sexist against men or misandristic?

Note: I am neither a Donald Trump supporter nor am I a supporter of any of the previous 2016 Republican presidential candidates but I am compelled to be objective. BTW I will be voting for Hillary Clinton.
