Related: About this forumDaily Beast: "Hillary Clinton Microwaves Donald Trump’s Axis of Tinfoil"
Among other things, I loved the title!
Unabashed support for a presidential candidate by a KKK grand wizard is not normaleven despite a year of sheer abnormality in American politics, and Clinton wanted to assure the American public that this is not the status quo.
Its not often a white nationalist ends up as a delegate for a Republican candidate, or make robocalls on his behalf. Its not usual that a major party candidate indulges fringe theories like they emerged from historical texts. Its not a frequent occurrence for former and current KKK members to praise a voice in mainstream American politics. This is what Trump has wroughtand is now attempting to put back in the bottle. And he only has 74 days left to do it.
Theres no other Donald Trump, Clinton concluded. This is it.
The truth is, shes probably right.

to describe the way Hillary handed Donnie his ass.
Personally, I think tRump and his axis of tinfoil belong in a rubber room in some state hospital until they're mentally competent enough to live in the community without endangering it.
