That same number would only be .16% of the people who voted for him (62,980,160)

But yet, people have no problem posting up videos of a few of people on YouTube being ignorant A-holes and saying this is Trumps America.

Its Shameful and Irresponsible."
From another thread Posted by, guess who?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Are they somehow more homogeneous than other groups

Nice move. You got Pete to admit that a few outliers don't define Trump's group. But I don't think you could convince Spence and wdmso that the few are outliers or that they are merely few. Actually, I don't think Pete thinks they are either. He kinda posed a trick question.

How about Trump defining his own group?

That can be taken in at least two ways. I think the way you mean is Trump being the definition. Another way being Trump saying what the definition is. You and he, obviously would disagree in either instance. It would be a matter of opinion. You cite a lot of biased opinions and misinterpreted (intentionally or not) quotes and selected actions selectively interpreted by you and others. A whole lot of people disagree with you and your citations. Again, matters of opinion.
