Hillary Clinton Says ‘Radical Fringe’ Is Taking Over G.O.P. Under Donald Trump
Hillary Clinton on Thursday delivered a blistering denunciation of Donald J. Trump’s embrace of the “alt-right” political philosophy, presenting his choice as an especially ominous turn in a presidential election full of them.
“The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump campaign represents a landmark achievement for the alt-right,” Mrs. Clinton said. “A fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party.”
Mrs. Clinton also noted that David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader, was “jubilant” on his radio show recently while describing Mr. Trump.
“A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far dark reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military,” Mrs. Clinton said. “If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans?”
- I wonder if gov for $ is considered radical much. I'm voting <-Hyurimon
- I agree it's concerning but if you wanted to defeat Clinton, maybe your side shouldn't have nominated a racist lunatic?yuekit
- Republicans make criticism the Democrats that much more difficult when they endorse a worse alternative every time.yuekit

- i thought this election helped show the reps are on the same side as the dems and there really is only one party of governmentdeathboy
- There's some element of that but look at conservative Congress and Democrat White House, they can barely work together to even pass a budget.yuekit
- The moronic Republitards wanted Trump, they got what they want.utopian
- yea maybe. the whole budget always seems like some trumped up reality tv show for the public. curtain fall they shake hands and say we did good this year.deathboy
- reinforcement of the party platform. if they actually just politely agreed, since they all seem to flip flop all the time. party support might waindeathboy
- between them and the media turning everything into entertainment its hard to tell whats reality and whats showdeathboy
- I see what you're saying but I don't think it's actually all orchestrated like that. Another example would be Republicans suing to overturn policies that Obamayuekit
- tried to implement. In fact I'd say a lot of the source of so called populist anger is not even because of corruption. But rather because government can'tyuekit
- get anything done because the two sides simply disagree, a situation that ironically was created by the voters in the first place.yuekit
- Yea im oversimplifying it. Its a complex system. They're all individuals. There really is no party. But at the end of the day they bothSeemToGo in one directiondeathboy
- But it does resemble a tv show like survivor, 2 teams one victor and they plot and plan and all try to get to the victor spotdeathboy
- yea i think thats what i mean. if survivor had teams that had certain brand rules they needed to reinforce as they worked there way to the topdeathboy
- where the team colors are replaced with intangible ideas. so a little more abstract and confusing.deathboy
- some play for victor, some play for when the show ends and outside deals. some fame. just not for principles assigned to them.deathboy
- if that's the case. is it a wonder trump has made it as far as he has? i bet most of the GOP didn't realize the game they were playingdeathboy
- god... that's disgusting thinking about it.deathboy
- That's kind of how the world works isn't it? Nothing new.yuekit
- but than why do people think one or the other is something new? that's what i dont get.deathboy
- maybe if johnson got in and nothing happened for the better my full on disillusion could be finished. see it as simply a tumor w a timelinedeathboy
