Default the fringe political movement Trump is tapping into

It's called the "alt-right." Whether Trump really believes this crap or is only trying to use it for his gain is not really known, but It's vomit inducing to me that the republicans have allowed it to happen. Anyone who cares about the sanctity of individual life should oppose Trump, even it it means Hillary wins. We can survive Hillary, as bad as she may be. Trump, or at least the philosophy he's bringing is a much bigger longterm threat, and I fear all he's done is help to mainstream in America some important elements of actual fascism. Fortunately it's starting to look like he's finally on the way out. Too bad it's way too late for the GOP to have actually nominated someone who could have been a good president.

If I were a white supremacist, I'd be elated by Trump too.

The hateful, racist voicemail a Trump supporter just left for a McMullin campaign worker:

Trump attracts the vilest, most evil garbage our country has to offer.

what's the point of Evan McMullin?

Shouldn't he be running for mayor of a medium sized town?

Don't know. Don't really care. but I'm not going to bash anyone who puts in the effort to speak out against the best representation of a fascist politician we've ever had in this country. I'm voting for Johnson as his ideas come closest to mine -- not 100%, but way closer than Hillary or Trump. I don't think McMullin even got into the race early enough to qualify for the Texas ballot anyway.
