I wouldn't call it a brag though. He just said there wasn't a problem.

He's getting much better numbers of the minority vote than Romney did, and he's leading compared to most of the other candidates as well. For a republican candidate he's not doing bad at all.

Can't wait to see McShane. Legendary in Deadwood.

Of course you are going to get roughed up going to a Trump rally shouting anti slogans. That would happen anywhere. The videos I saw on youtube were certainly primitive, but nothing disturbing. I didn't exactly get a white supremacist vibe from it. I mostly saw extremely enthusiastic Americans cheering Trump like he was the second coming.

If Trump was really a racist he would not get the significant minority support he is getting right now. He is leading the polls, not because of "hate", but because he manages to present himself as real. Trump is at heart liberal, I don't think that has changed. He is appealing to something else. Something more primal.

Trump is pandering, but he's no fool. Being President would not make him an untouchable dictator. He would need to deal with the facts on the ground. Millions of immigrants are not being thrown out because the economy couldn't handle it. If he gets the job I'm not sure what type of President he would be, but I'm not at all worried he's going to do anything incredibly stupid. Likely he would do his best to be remembered as a good President, and that would mostly entail doing reasonable things.
