"I may disagree with anything that he's saying and think that his proposals are a little, well more than a little shocking, but there is something really hopeful about the fact that, well 36 percent of the likely voters want him," Colbert said, referencing a recent CNN poll. "So people in the machine don't get to say otherwise. That's the one saving grace of his candidacy."
Colbert added that he respects Trump's ability to appeal to the emotions of his likely supporters, admitting he may have been "wrong" to ever posit Trump had no chances of winning the Republican nomination.
What the f-ck? He respects Trump's ability to appeal to the emotions of his voters? Does Stephen know what the f-ck he is even saying? There is absolutely NOTHING respectable about Trump appealing to his supporters' racism. I'm absolutely disgusted with this and lost a chunk of respect for him.
And then to also say that the only saving grace about Trump's candidacy is that "the people" strongly support it. I can't explain to you how utterly f-cking stupid and repugnant Stephen sounds. He's not an idiot. He knows the stuff that Trump his been saying. He obviously knows that Trump went full on Nazi when he talked about banning Muslims and having them wear some sort of identification. So why would he say something so utterly ridiculous like the quoted portion? Trump's proposals are beyond simply "shocking" or "little shocking" as Stephen put it. It's vile, abhorrent, and a little evil.
I'm incredibly disappointed that Stephen said this. I thought he was better than this. As a result, I've lost a chunk of respect for him. He should frankly be ashamed of saying what he said. I don't care that he means well. It doesn't take away from the fact that his comments are ridiculous beyond belief
Btw, he's also dead wrong about his old show.

He said he quit it because he didn't think people want "constant divisiveness" anymore. Right, okay, except The Colbert Report show wasn't divisive at all. Just because majority of the time, his targets were right wingers doesn't mean the show was divisive. His show satirized, criticized, and demolished ignorance, stupidity, hypocrisy, dishonesty, etc., and it just so happens that people on the right were and still are way more guilty of displaying the aforementioned qualities more, or I should say in a more prominent way than Democrats. The right and the GOP is endless comedy gold. Making fun of that doesn't mean that your show is divisive, partisan, or idealogical. Facts are facts. Reality is reality. Sorry that reality shows that right wingers are totally f-cking crazy and deranged beyond belief. If that's "divisive", then so f-cking be it. Enough with this political correctness and us having to pretend that many Republicans, especially the politicians, aren't f-cking dangerous lunatics
Merry Christmas from Candice

The old show was good, the new show is crap.
The new show pays more money, is more prestigious (I guess1354) and well mainstream.
In other words: He sold out!

Odd that you mention "racism," as that is the exact reason why Obama won the 2008 and 2012 elections! Blacks voted based on skin color, as Obama won something like 95% of the black vote in the 2008 election and more than 90% of it in 2012.
Trump has broad support and is steamrolling his way to the Oval Office. I am really looking forward to him 5b4tearing Hillary Clinton to shreds in the debates!
I think that Trump will be a fantastic president who really cares about the people instead of being beholden to the special interests, as just about every other politician is. -

Poor whittle baby Barbie, there is no racism is Trumps candidacy. When has Trump ever been racist? Securing our borders, enforcing our laws, and not allowing what is happening to Europe with Syrian/Muslim refugees(mass rapes, sexual assaults, violent attacks, terrorist attacks, riots) to happen in the US is not racist, it is common sense and it is what most people want. Stop with the typical wacist accusations. You want to know who is racist, BLM anarchist and Al Sharpton who Hillary and Sanders are pathetically trying to court and pandering too. Donald Trump would never pander to those racists which is why so many people like him and why he is doing so well in the polls.
