  1. That’s right. He’s STILL going to denigrate her heritage and weaponize it at his rallies. Same thing as the birther fiasco.

  2. Facts, shmacts. We don’t like her, so we’ll call her names.

    Careful, Spankee. She’s one of those persistent types

  5. We don’t like her, so we’ll call her names.

    Yup. He uses all the racist and sexist garbage to whip up his base, no more no less. It’s the same reason he encourages the “lock her up” chant when there’s no identifiable her to speak of.
