When Denny makes comments like this

"Trump is pretending to be racist"

"there is no trace of any anti-hispanic sentiments in his past"

"he was a prominent, out-spoken, media-focused public figure for 30 years before he ran for president. Overnight....he switches from someone who barely EVER said anything about race to someone who ONLY talks about race."

" Compare the Trump public persona in 1995 to current day. They are two completely different people. He's a blank slate."

"And in 1973, he discriminated against people of color in his real estate business because of money. If he could profit by dealing with POC...he would've done so."

he is not using history as a guide. His instincts are not correct, he is stating the obvious. Trump is running on racism just like Nixon with the Southern Strategy, Goldwater, Reagan and Bush. How is trump taking over the GOP when they are running from him ?

Why is he giving trump a pass ? The quotes above say it.
