Trump, to a degree, is parroting the conservative mantra. He might have stepped on some McCain's supporters by saying McCain is no war hero, but by and large, he has been saying exactly what many in the Republican Party are afraid to say.
General Colin Powell condemned the Republican Party for having a dark vein of intolerance and the party’s repeated use of racial code words to oppose President Obama and rally white conservative voters. Without mentioning names, Powell singled out former Mitt Romney surrogate and New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu for calling Obama “lazy” and Sarah Palin, who, Powell charged, used slavery-era terms ("shucking and jiving") to describe Obama.
