    Default Republicans will never say that racism is "racism." Basically it's because they're ra

    There's nothing Donald Trump can ever say or do that's bad enough for most Republicans to admit he's racist

    Is there any expression of racism that Republicans will actually admit is racism? It's a question on a lot of progressive minds in the wake of Donald Trump demonizing female congresswomen of color with the "go back" canard that white nationalists and other assorted racists have long used to abuse anyone with heritage they dislike, whether that heritage is Jewish, Irish, Italian, African, Latin American or Muslim. Telling someone to "go back" is, in the ranks of racist statements, right up there with calling a person the N-word or some other rank slur. Yet, there still appears to be resistance among Republicans to admitting that is racism, which leads many on the left to wonder: If this doesn't count, then what could possibly count?

    The answer, it's becoming quite clear, is that there is no limit. There's no line in the sand, no sentiment so ugly, where most Republicans will cave in and admit, OK, that's racist.

    Trump isn't a racist; but I am all eyes to see any comments attributed to him that could be considered racist. I won't hold my breath because lying leftists seldom have any facts to support the brain dead hyperbole.

    If Trump said we should lynch Obama, the Republicans would deny they heard him say that, then they'd say he meant we should only lynch Obama's white half.

    There’s no difference between supporting a racist and being one
