You are really off base. First --- I already discussed the PAC below. Exactly $0 donated, totally obscure and irrelevant. Again --- there is no reason to go after the white separatist demographic --- it is such a low number of the overall voting population. You are nuts to suggest that this would be a legitimate strategy put forth by campaign managers. It only makes sense if you are so partisan that you wan't to believe it. The harm and legitimate negative publicity would far outweight the amount of votes and money (very, very, very low compared to any other traditional demographic) from these losers. It just doesn't make sense, unless of course its convenient for you. Sanantone was much closer to the truth in my opinion, in his earlier posts anyways, in which he nailed it by describing how Trump is appealing to all sorts of demographics by taking the approach that he has been over the last year.
Now, somewhat unrelated --when dfrecore mentioned a film, you were quick to denounce it as "partisan" and "discredited". Well, it was certainly produced by a partisan guy. Do you not think Media Matters is "partisan"? It is self-described as partisan. Nice chunky donations from that lovely billionaire George Soros. Gimme a break, Gimme a break, Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat!
BTW, I do not support Trump. In fact, I haven't said anything in support of his presidential bid. But I can recognize a quack idea when I see one, and your suggestion is in bogus land.
