What you missed by being so biased and full of hate for Trump is that Reagan demonstrated while he was President that he was not racist, and excluded the possibility that Trump won't be either.

It's always good to keep the discussion civil.

What you missed was that Trump has a very long history of being a racist. It's possible that he will stop being a racist, maybe with an apology like Byrd, but I think the odds of that are extremely long.

Hillary is racist by the same ruler you used, as per calling Trump supporters of all races deplorable, as well as her comment about Margaret Sanger the admitted racist.

Here is the context of what she said.

"I know there are only 60 days left to make our case -- and don't get complacent, don't see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, well, he's done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America."

It's hard for me to know what the proper distribution of the deplorables are. I do think there are a good number of them on SI. She didn't explicitly state what the race(s) of deplorables were, but I'm going to guess that they are mostly white, older and undereducated men. That could make her a self-hating white, but that seems a little odd.
