We're talking about constituents, not candidates. If the shoe were on the other foot and it were a Democratic candidate saying this, I guar-damn-tee you Republican/conservative voters (basically Trump supporters) wouldn't be defending him right now like they are the orange idiot.

And that last sentence is exactly why it's racist.

How would the Dem supporters react though is the question? Would it be the same situation just opposite reactions?

You also point out racism, while calling Trump an "orange idiot." What does his skin color have to do with anything?

Not that I condone name calling, but people calling Trump "orange" is not a reference to his race, but rather his seemingly unnatural skin color, brought about by a perceived over abundance of either spray tan or skin toner.  It's more a reference to his vanity and how out of touch he is.

I don't really see the point in calling Trump "orange".  It's childish, but considering the terrible things he calls other people, I'm not going to shed any tears for him either.

As a minor anecdote, my father often tans until his skin is a similar pigment to Trump's, and my family and I constantly worry about melanoma.
