Angela, Mr. Trump has not won the presidency. He hasn't even won his party's nomination. To call him a 'winner' of the electoral process is premature, to say the least.


You are not answering my question. Why are you saying that Trump supporters are racist?

I think it's facetious to assert that he won't be the nominee at this stage, let alone a victor against any of his now defeated Republican rivals. Dislike him, the party, and their politics all you like but at least look at the situation with maturity.

I am. Lack of presumption is a facet of maturity. There is also a movement within the GOP to deny Mr. Trump of the nomination and nominate an as-yet un-named individual as the party's candidate. Even if Mr. Trump receives the party's nomination, there is still the main election to win, and there is currently no guarantee of that, either.

At that point, it's likely to be a contest between an angry rich man and a smarmy rich woman. Clearly a lose-lose proposition for the American middle class.

Well, we can agree on that last part.

Are you not going to answer and just ignore me? I said out in the open how much I respected you and your opinions and now this - this thinking that I'm racist just because I support Trump? You're no different. You're just like the rest of them. Why I expected something different I have no idea.

That would be like saying someone who thought gay sex was gross was anti-gay. Or vice versa. That person says below that as long as mixed race people are happy he doesn't care, so that should have been the end of it, but Fnord still wants him wiped off WP.
That example isn't even in the Political forum.
It's called "Cross-posting" and refers to a closed thread - both of which are against the rules, and the rules should be applied equally, to everyone, and all of the time, right?

I didn't know the thread was closed. I got into it from the very thread you have now used to come against me, so did not see that.

As for cross posting, I'd appreciate some mod telling me if what I have done is indeed against the rules. Is that thread the only place you can do it? I've never heard of cross posting applying to referring to something on-topic in another thread. I've understood it to be posting the same stuff in other places, which is not something I have done.

The rules are posted in this forum. Look for the section on "Spamming".

I suppose that we'll just have to wait for a moderator to tell us.

I've looked at multiple definitions of cross posting and they all say the same thing. So I don't know where you got your definition. It's posting the same content in multiple places. And thus why it falls under spam. My post here is not spam. It hasn't been replicated anywhere else.

I don't think it's cross posting because the post wasn't copied and posted. I see it as "referencing" and people have done it before.

Why is this even being talked about?

You know this is one of the things that people do that I just don't understand and that's changing the subject when they have been caught saying something that they probably shouldn't have. But you know what? I'll just take my ole racist self out of this thread and let you two argue it out. Waste of time.

Oh, your first post of this thread said it.

Idk, maybe you didn't know what you were saying. If you did say it, just own it at least.
