You can say the Trump doesn't mean what he actual says, which is troubling by itself, but you can't claim that I took anything out of context.  These are Trump's own words.  

I will be completely honest here (and that's a real rarity coming from me, so savor this moment) this post of yours made me entertain the idea that Hillary is the lesser evil in this coming election. Or more accurately, the war crime quote did. Strange that I haven't heard it before with all the anti-Trump comments filling up all news sites. I was mistaken in thinking you had taken his war crime comment out of context, the reason being that I was thinking of a different comment altogether.

Here's an actual example: "TAKE IT FUCKING SERIOUSLY WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SAYS THAT MOST MEMBERS OF A PARTICULAR RACE ARE RAPISTS AND DRUG DEALERS."

That is straight up false. Trump talked about illegal immigrants, not all Mexicans or an entire race. That's how you take things out of context. A textbook example.

And if you are so determined to defeat Donald Trump in the general election, please stop calling him "Drumpf." If you want to convince the population that a candidate is racist, the last thing you want to do is mock his heritage.

Re-tweeting KKK members is another tip-off of a racist candidate. 

But actually I agree with a point someone else mentioned ... Trump is *worse* than a racist. 

A racist is someone who believes his race to be superior to others and actively resents other people. That's a racist. 

Trump probably isn't that exactly, but what he is doing is even worse ... he is manipulating people's racist bigotry and using it for his personal gain, without any concern for who it could hurt.

That makes him worse than a racist IMO. The Mexican comment is a classic "dog whistle" line to racists too. 

Imagine for instance I said "Some of these white men shoot up movie theaters and high schools and rape people, and some I guess are good people, maybe". lol, He knows exactly what he's doing when he says things like that. 

Problem is while this type of stupid rhetoric was enough to win him the Republican primary, it's likely to cost him a state like Florida (with a huge Latino populaiton) in the general election, which basically means an automatic loss for him pretty much.
