Karen's Korner Kitchen!   When we lived shortly in Buckley, IL, the best restaurant in town was Karen's Korner Kitchen.  Right on the corner, it had a huge sign, KKK.

This man who has such a superior intellect, such great command of current issues and is surrounding himself with the best advisors doesn't know who David Duke is and doesn't have advisors who might be able to clue him in on David Duke?  Seriously?

Trump actually DID know.  When he was thinking about running for president on the Constitutional Party ticket (I think that was the ticket), he finally bowed owed of consideration with an announcement which specifically referenced David Duke by name, and calling him a racist, and also mentioning that since Duke (and two other folks he mentioned, one of whom was openly a communist) was in the party, Trump did not want to also belong.  And then just Friday, two days before his Jake Tapper interview, he responded to questions about David Duke endorsing him and he specifically and by name disavowed Duke's endorsement.

When Tapper asked the question, he said he had not heard of Duke, that he did not even know who Duke was, which is why Tapper was so taken aback.

Trump was doing as Trump so often does, simply playing the media in order to seize control of another news cycle, without paying anything for ads.

Most of my former co-workers were Republican.  Most of my family is Republican.  Many of my friends are Republican.  I don't believe a single one of them support Donald Trump.  All of them are agonizing over who they will vote for in November.  Then I realized something, they all have brains and values.  Go figure.

Make fun all you want but EVERYONE Ive spoken to in my neck of the woods supports Trump.

My dentist even said "Ill help him build that damn wall" and that's the only comments I could even post.

Most people are saying much worse.

There are a lot of angry folks looking for scapegoats.  Trump would be their guy.

It's just like that story Curt posted.

People are voting with their middle finger.

Look at the states where Ben Carson gets more votes than John Kasich.  Those are states I will never move to.

Trump appears to be on track for a win in Georgia, Vermont, Virginia, Alabama, Mass, Tennessee.

Losing to Rubio in Ark, barely losing to cruz in Texas. 3 states not reporting anything yet as  polls still open.

Trump your 2016 GOP presidential candidate.

I sometimes wonder if Trump will be the last GOP candidate.

Yeah it looks like Trump's support is mostly coming from backwoods, rural areas.  Just flipping through the Tennessee counties, granted Trump even wins the bigger counties like Davidson County where Nashville is, but his margins there aren't anywhere near what they are in the smaller counties, where he's winning 45-50% of the vote. 

I'm like Curt, I know of absolutely no one who is voting for Trump or at least is willing to admit it.
