The media has to ignore it being all in for HRC, because shes fip floped on the issue to hide her support for TPP.
All Trump has to do is start tweeting and talking about the TPP and it would be all over the news.
The question is why is he not talking about trade anymore?
Probably has at least something to do with him going to bed with mainstream Republicans and donors.
His VP selection is a huge TPP backer.

Here's the real truth about the "Trump supporters are racist" theme projected by the HRC campaign.
Its a deflection. And its a deflection from a more basic truth, i.e., the Trump supporters are really all about the crappy state of the US economy and the loss of jobs due to the Free Trade treaties the US has signed, including NAFTA, which I believe was negotiated by the first Bush POTUS, and implemented by Clinton, (Bill).
Problem is that HRC has been around long enough to know that, practically speaking, there's no solution to Trump supporters economic problems. There's no plan on the part of TPTB to undo or renegotiate NAFTA. In fact, the TPP is baked into "the plan" as are other global free trade initiatives. To avoid having to address this continued hollowing out of the US job base, HRC deflects from discussion of these problems by pulling out the race card.

Yes...Trump supporters are for the most part racist.
Next question.

I do think it is a bit ironic how Republicans like to use the few Black supporters they have as their tokens to try to prove they aren't racist.

You wouldn't know a GD racist if he...or she...bit you on the ass. I live in the south, the deep south...and live with racism each day....and it will get you a watery grave in the swamp by boys you don't want to invite home for supper. Yes, they still exist down here, i am scared of them and you are too stupid to be scared of them. Fortunately most of them didn't get excepted to Yale and the other half can't read...so they are here to stay and you are safe in the snowy north away from grits, okra and first cousins that want to date you.
Cheers

Let's face it; Republicans are going to be branded as racists no matter what they do.
Hell, not that long ago they just got shouted down because a staff picture didn't have enough color.
Now, any non-white supporters are just 'tokens'.
It's always going to be this way when the left can't debate on the actual policies.

What I think is ironic is how Liberals will use the very few Republican racists they can dig up to try and paint every Republican as being racist.
I haven't seen anyone try to paint every Republican as a racists.
I have seen people point out that racists groups (KKK, White Supremacist, etc), support and endorse Republican policies. I have also seen people point out people saying racist things at Republican rallies or holding signs with racist messages on them. I have seen people point out that a lot of Trump's statements are racist and his past behavior (which concluded in lawsuits) were racists.
I'm sorry if you feel attacked by that, it's not our fault that the party you have chosen to endorse caters to racists people and groups. That's not our fault, that is just a fact that you have to deal with.
