Does the "they" figure largely in your world view?

If you are any kind of normal person, as opposed to a politician, and just say what you think, you are going to get reemed by the press because they are going to play pattycake with what you said. We've been trained to expect these politicians to be so benign in their speech that they essentially say nothing. Trump doesn't want to be that kind of candidate, so he's blunt, which shocks people who expect politicians to be wind-up toys who mouth talking points. Anyone who doesn't is considered crazy and dangerous. And they are, to the status quo, that is.

So, in your opinion, when people say what they really think, it turns out they're bigots? The rest are just pretending in order to be politically correct?

In several cases I've seen, Trump was purposefully taken out of context. Once that starts, and people buy it, then it snowballs because most have jumped on the bandwagon and few check the facts, and it becomes a lynch mob. The fact that he's a Republican just makes it worse because liberals LOVE to accuse Republicans of being bigots.

So Trump's remarks just appear bigoted because they taken out of context. How did they do that during the debate? Did they dub in different words then he was actually saying? I mean those weren't just sound bites. Was it some trick of the lizard people conspiracy or something?

Theses examples were trumped up I suppose: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b03260bf777e83

Trump has taken bigotry to a new low level as far as presidential aspirants in my life time except for maybe George Wallace. Or was the liberal media taking him out of context too?

I'm not saying he hasn't put his foot in his mouth some. I'm saying it's overblown.

Which simply means that other people react differently than you do to his bigotry. Maybe you're just desensitized to it because you've been around it a lot. Hell maybe you agree with it or some of it. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. Are you a Bobby Knight fan? He agrees with it, or says he does. Knight endorsed Trump cuz he thinks he would be willing to nuke people. If you are looking for a guy to precipitate an apocalypse, Trump could be your guy.
