As I've said numerous times in numerous threads, I don't think Hillary is the best candidate for POTUS. She is a goon and I don't like her. She looks like Star Wars villain. But she isn't about to lead civilization off a cliff. And when I said "keep the ball rolling in the
general direction" was more of a nod to the improvements that Obama has made over Bush to keep us away from said cliff. Again, not perfect, but headed in the right direction which I can say and also not be in favor of the TPP. I fully agree with you on that last point.
But you couldn't be more wrong about his stance with the LGBT community- he is in favor of the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) which allows LGBT people to be more subject to discrimination. He also prefers that marriage be defined as man and woman because he's a "traditional guy" and would "strongly consider" appointing SCOTUS judges who would overturn the same-sex marriage decision.

Trump is a racist because he makes judgments based solely on people's race, not what they've actually done- it doesn't get more textbook than that. Saying that a US judge cannot preside over his lawsuit because he is of Mexican heritage is a complete ad hominem attack lacking any evidence of actual bias. He's not wearing a white hood, but that is a racist statement and he makes them all the time. And this was not a single, out-of-character moment- he makes these statements often and repeatedly. Yes, some are taken out of context by an insane media, but to say that Trump is not a racist fails to objectively examine his statements.
Trump has also embraced the Republican positions of voter ID laws and restricting voter registration, both of which set back a US citizen's Constitutionally protected voting rights. The fiascoes with the primaries are different yet related- we should be making it easier for citizens to vote. It's absolutely clear that work can be done by both sides, but Trump (and the Republicans) are actively pursuing ways to make it harder for US citizens to register and be able to vote.
Additionally, prior to 2015, Trump held a plethora of different opinions and he's changed them all now. He was pro-choice, now he's pro-life; he was a fan of Obama, now he's not; he thought the wealthy should pay more in taxes, now he thinks they should pay less, he used to favor more gun control, now he favors less, etc. etc. He's no different than any other typical politician who flip-flops to earn votes. This is not a quality that only belongs to Hillary. And frankly, I really don't care what politicians thought 10-years ago. I care about what they are running on/for now, and while Hillary is far from perfect, Trump is closer to "worst".
