Why would there be race riots? Sounds like a hell of a reach.

We've already seen what happens when he holds a rally in a major liberal city. Now, suppose he decides to veto some legislation that is looked at as helping minorities, or decides to try to do an executive action to ban Muslims, or tries to build that wall he's always talking about, or hopelessly tries to actually deport 12 million people. How do you think many of these people will respond?

If he moderates and doesn't try to actually carry through with these proposals and/or scenarios, then, yes, he can avoid the backlash. I just don't think there is such a thing as a "moderate" Trump though. The man appears to me, thus far at least, to have absolutely no principle. He essentially stands for nothing, as many of his recent foreign policy and economic policy comments are contradictory. He wants his cake but also wants to eat it. He speaks "the code" to appeal to the part of his base that is a racist fringe, but then talks about how he loves "the Hispanics" and "the blacks" in the same sentence. He appears to be a man that wants to please all, but in the process will probably please very few.

By all means, let's have the inmates run the asylum, and not do anything to make them mad.

What you described is pretty common outside of Trump. Both parties drive wedges between groups for their own purposes. Both contradict to pander to both sides. (Heck, Hillary just threw down on the coal industry only to back track shortly after)

I don't think you have a unique point that hasn't already been there, isn't currently there, and won't be in the future.

Don't worry, he does not want your land....

He supports taking land for private businesses. It's not about whose land it is. We should all stand against that.

Your statement is the equivalent of saying to a German in 1940: "yeah, but he doesn't want to put you in a camp"

First none of the candidates have any principles or stand for anything except themselves.

Second, he's not getting a wall built or deporting 12 million people. Courts wouldn't let him if he tried.

The thing is Trump is a liberal at heart and is simply following the liberal playbook, say anything to get elected.
