I don't think there are enough anti-semetic racists in the U.S. to elect Trump. What do you think?

Trump tweets image of Star of David next to Hillary Clinton

Donald
Trump ignited a firestorm of criticism Saturday when he called Hillary
Clinton the “most corrupt candidate” in history - and put her face next
to a Star of David over a pile of money.
Trump posts, quickly deletes image of Star of David next to Hillary Clinton's face
The GOP presumptive presidential nominee tweeted out the image early Saturday — and linked to a Fox News poll on June 29 that said 58% of respondents felt Clinton was corrupt.
When angry responses rolled in, Trump’s campaign released an updated image about two hours later that replaced the Star of David with a red circle.
But the Twittersphere wasn’t about to let the gaffe go.

“Classic @realDonaldTrump. First appease anti-Semitic white supremacists, then pretend it never happened,” added Michael Skolnick, with the hashtag #StarofDavid.
The initial tweet, with the tagline, “Crooked Hillary -- Makes History!” — soon disappeared from Trump’s twitter timeline.
But it continued to circulate as outraged users shared screenshots of the initial tweet on social media.

“Just in case you missed his worst tweet yet....” wrote Kevin Dunbar, with a picture of the original Star of David poster.
“Sometimes deleting a tweet doesn’t change a damn thing. This is one of those instances,” said Ariana Gic.
Trump’s outspoken policies on immigration and and homeland security have earned him the backing of controversial figures like former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke — and his rallies have been frequently punctuated with acts of violence, often from supporters who go after protesters.

The real estate mogul drew scorn from many for his refusal earlier this year to disavow an endorsement from Duke — first by pretending to not know who Duke was, and then blaming a “lousy earpiece” for his silence in a TV interview.
The GOP candidate has also vowed to build a wall on the Mexican border, and spewed racist attacks at the Hispanic-American judge overseeing Trump University lawsuits.
He’s also pledged to ban Muslim immigrants from countries with a history of terrorism.
