Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Politics In General Where have all the conservatives gone?

I agree with LogT's following comment.

Here is a current example. John Solomon who writes for The Hill. He has been writing right wing conspiracy theories for a while. In fact he recently was involved in writing articles based on information provided by Parnas, the Giuliani associate recently indicted for FEC violations. He of course claims his articles are well sourced, however, his sources are Russian backed Ukrainians and oligarchs. Should anyone believe what he has written? I would be highly suspicious. O BTW, The Hill has moved him from reporting to opinion.

Now as to the accusation that to you it appears everyone says all the Trump supporters at rallys are KKK members etc, I would say your perception is formed from the pervasive problem of conservative paranoia. Clearly you have not lived in the South. But in the South I can guarantee should anyone do a real poll of the correlation between Trump supporters and bigotry I suspect it would be very high. In fact in a poll of Tea people, it was found there was about a 70% probability any Tea person was a bigot. I suspect the number is about the same in the South. I understand why Republican elites deny the character of the base, and it is precisely why Mr Trump is their voice and of course why elected officials fear it. They can't tell the truth and expect to be re-elected.

So the appropriate way to say what you will always deny is, in general at any Trump rally, there is a high probability a large chunk of the people who attend are bigots.
