If you're not angry, old and white ...

Donald Trump is threatening to sue the conservative Club for Growth for running TV ads using his own words to criticize him as a "liberal" politician. How ironic is it for a group of GOP fat cat donors, who champion lower taxes for the rich and oppose frivolous lawsuits, to undercut the leading Republican contender for president?

The Republicans are taking stupid positions on a variety of important national issues. They deride Mexicans, refuse to support women's rights, deny climate change, repeatedly try to eliminate Obamacare, object to religious beliefs while interjecting their own into the campaign and advocate making the tax code more favorable to the top 1 percent who fund their PACs.

If you're not an angry, old white voter, how can you support any of the 15 Republican candidates?
