Title: Poll: Trump Supporters More Likely to Self-Identify as Racist

This is not exactly news to anyone who has spent more than about five minutes on Facebook or Twitter in the last year, but Trump's supporters are more likely to self-identify as racist, and a new poll proves it. Now, this is not a matter of saying, they say and think things that most reasonable people would agree are racist, this is a matter of saying they flat out told the pollster that they like white people way more than they like Hispanics or black people.

The basic methodology of the poll was just to ask respondents to rate their feelings about certain groups of people on a scale from 0 (very cold) to 100 (very warm):

The dataset includes a series of feeling thermometer questions, which ask respondents to place various groups and political figures on a scale from 100 (Very warm or favorable feeling) to 0 (Very cold or unfavorable feeling)….Trump supporters are more likely than supporters of other Republican candidates to have negative feelings towards feminists, Muslims, Latinos, Gays and Lesbians, and Transgender people. In contrast, Trump supporters have far warmer feelings towards whites than supporters of other candidates.

Meh...I would...just to

(a) screw with their tiny minds, and

(b) get them to leave me alone.

What, you think if we're nice they'll start liking us?  We tried that crap.  They think we're genetically racist because we're honkies.   Really, they think they are, and spend countless hours in Maoist self-criticism to purge themselves of it.

To Hell with that.

I am 100% that is EXACTLY what respondents to this transparent "when did you stop beating your wife" poll did.

A typical bald-faced slander, they did not rate themselves as 'Racist.'  That is strictly the writer's (Highly pejorative) leap of faith.  The same logic would make Obama, Holder, and Lynch racists for publishing the FBI crime stats that show a disproportionate number of violent crimes have Black perpetrators.

I guess as a Cruz supporter my answers would probable align with Trump supporters, but I would have the sense to tell them what to do what their nosy up-to-no-good survey. Don't think they would like that either.

Those negative feelings have nothing to do with the agendas those groups are pushing, right?

Just like those who oppose obozo do so because of his race rather than his ridiculous policies, right?
