Hillary Clinton condemned Donald Trump on Thursday for taking hate groups mainstream in his presidential bid.
Hes taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of Americas two major political parties. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous, Clinton said, speaking at a community college in Reno, Nevada.
A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military, she added.

I think we should believe him."

Hillary Clinton has never called Trump a racist. But these lines from Reno come pretty close.

I have never heard such a clear, cogent, articulate (are we still allowed to use that word as a compliment) challenge to an opponent's fundamental positions. This was a dagger to the heart of Trumpism as a political philosophy...not just Trump as a candidate.
As someone said in another thread - she took the Trump campaign to Reno and shot it dead. (Now all that's left is to find a hole in the desert to bury it where it will never be found again).

These words, and her speech, stand in stark contrast to the loser bully who runs on paranoid fear-mongering.

And very effective. Trump is a racist for sure and possibly a monster. He is running for dictator in chief not president. He is the sort who runs for election once but stays for life...very dangerous.
