WaPo Page 1: ‘Racialists cheered by Trump’s latest strategy’
White separatist Jared Taylor is encouraged by Donald Trump’s strides in the GOP, as are others in the white power movement.
Click here for reuse options!Taylor, one of America’s foremost “racialists,” is impressed and relieved. “That’s a powerful appeal,” he said. “If he can just stick to that, he is in very good shape.”
From his Fairfax County home, Taylor has edited the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance and organized racialist conferences under the “AmRen” banner. He said that Trump should “concentrate on his natural constituency, which is white people,” suggesting that winning 65 percent of the white vote would overwhelm any Democratic gains with minorities.
When Trump made Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon his campaign’s chief executive last week, Taylor found reasons to celebrate. It was the latest sign for white nationalists, once dismissed as fringe, that their worldview was gaining popularity and that the old Republican Party was coming to an end.
The rise of the alt-right — named for the Alternative Right website that the “identitarian” nationalist Richard Spencer set up in 2010 and adopted by those opposed to multiculturalism and mass immigration — has come to define how many of its adherents see Trump. There’s less talk now about a “pivot,” or a moment when Trump will adopt the ideas of people that he conquered. His strategy now resembles the alt-right dream of maximizing the white vote — even as polling shows his standing with white voters falls short of Mitt Romney’s in 2012.

“…“concentrate on his natural constituency, which is white people,”…” um, yea, that’s not working out for ya? and no way in hell he’ll get 65% of the white votes.

Yeah, I love how they assume us white people will vote for hate. Well we all know what happens when someone assumes something.

I’m guessing 25 to 28 percent.
The same numbers and the same clown constituency Palin reigns over

Romney still lost the state votes 3:2 (D) 332 to (R) 206-47% popular vote share.

The latest statistics tell a different story.
White Christians are no longer the majority faith group in America. In 2008, members of the group composed 54 percent of the of the U.S. population. Today, that figure has fallen to 45 percent.
A new book, “The End of White Christian America,” released July 12, explores how this demographic shift is shaking up American politics and culture. Author Robert P. Jones argues that it’s had a major influence on the 2016 presidential election and led many voters to feel anxious about America’s future.

These other comments prove my point.The vast majority on white america rejects such blatant and hateful racism.I would like to see Alan open up a whole page to an informal pole.How bout whites against white racists? Alan are you listening?

There seems to be some confusion among the ranks. Your candidate is changing his tune, although we all know it’s just a temporary con job on the entire con job.

And yet, Trump supporters tell me that the KKK and other racist people do not support Trump! They need to get out more!

Herd all the right wingnuts into the own national party and let the rest of the nation get on with the job at hand
