Among the endorsements this past week, was one from former Louisiana Representative David Duke, who also used to be a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. In an interview on CNN, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/politics\/articles\/2016-02-28\/trump-passes-up-opportunity-to-disavow-white-supremacist-support\" target=\"_blank\">Trump passed up a chance to disavow Duke, saying that he didn&#8217;t know Duke<\/a>. The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politifact.com\/truth-o-meter\/statements\/2016\/mar\/02\/donald-trump\/trumps-absurd-claim-he-knows-nothing-about-former-\/\" target=\"_blank\"> thing is that Trump does know who is Duke is<\/a> and he manipulated the media in typical Trump (and conservative) fashion &#8211; deny, blame others and blow his own horn.<\/p>\n<p>In the joke that was Con-a-thon 2012, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=1297\" target=\"_blank\">we posted an article about a possible brokered convention where a &#8216;white knight&#8217; candidate would come rushing in to save the GOP<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, that &#8216;white knight&#8217; is here in Con-a-thon 2016 for the Republicans and the KKK alike and his name is Donald Trump. Don&#8217;t let the media reports fool you; if Trump keeps winning and shows that he&#8217;s &#8220;the people&#8217;s choice&#8221;, then you better believe that the so-called &#8216;establishment&#8217; will endorse him. Power is power and the moneyed elite will love having one of their own at the controls in Washington. Face it; Donald Trump is the face of the modern Republican party.
