Who cares?
A lot of people who don't belong to such organizations also cheered his message...
or are you implying that anyone else who supports Trump must by association be racists too?
It is true that a politician cannot always determine who supports him...but by the same token, when that candidate has already been dogged by accusations of racism, xenophobia, and misogyny, it does speak volumes of the support that he's getting from white supremacists.
For instance, the "Jewish Star" smear page that Trump retweeted. The real issue wasn't the attack itself - the real issue was that Trump got that information from a white supremacist site. Why was Trump on a white supremacist site to begin with, much less retweeting information from that site? Even if we buy the line that it wasn't him, it was one of his staff...what does that say of Trump, that he's got staff that frequent white supremacist sites?
In other words, the support that Trump's getting from white supremacists is a validation of the very real likelihood based on his previous actions that he is racist and xenophobic.
Are you saying there are no communists or thugs or welfare cheats or fat cats voting Democratic?
I will not lie, the democratic party for so long has tried to use every attempt to label any republican as racist, so much to the point trump could walk on to stage in a clan robe and people would ignore the claims he is racist.
It is like the boy who cried wolf, after wolf or in this case racist has been claimed so many times, no one will believe it.

In this case, it's not the Democrats who are claiming anyone is racist, but the self admitted racists.

Nope.
I'm asking if you can back up your assertion. It appears right now that the answer is no.

They are still way way past the point anyone takes any of those accusations serious. boy who cried wolf and all.
Van Jones is a Communist and has quite a bit of influence in the party. He was also an Obama suck puppy until he had to resign. Anyway the fact is common knowledge the Democratic party is full of bad actors.
They claimed Trump is racist? Where? The only people who ever smear their political opponents as racists are leftists. Like you.
That may be.
Of course, it has nothing to do with white supremacist liking Trump. It's just a "the other side is bad too" sort of argument.
And my conclusion is that you started this thread to push the idea that Trump and his followers are racist. Its hardly the first thread like this you have started. You are engaging in a smear and what isn't even guilt by association since Trump does not associate with these people.I didn't claim Trump is a racist. I posted that the racists like his message. You can conclude from that whatever you will.
You spread smears and lies like leftists do, so what else am I to conclude.Nor did I claim to be a leftist. I'm not even sure what you mean by that term.
Trump, like any candidate, will take all the support he can get. White supremacists voting for him reflect nothing on his character.

No, only on his policies and positions.

What does that image tell you? That's a former KKK leader that Hillary is smooching.
I see more common sense in his policies than whiteness.
and the white supremacists agree with you.
Well you can't have everything, and we can't have Hillary.
We can't have Trump.
Now, to get enough people to vote for Gary Johnson.
If white supremacists like his message, what does that tell you about that message?
