Can you point to where he actively promoted or promised "hate"?
>You can not have it both ways, your vote is one for hate
You assume those with whom you disagree are below you morally. This mentality is why Trump is president.
1. "ban on Muslim immigrants"
"...until we find out what the heck is going on"
2. "illegal Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists"
"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. .... And some, I assume, are good people."
3. I won't even touch the "assassination" thing.
"...until we find out what the heck is going on" doesn't help. Hate doesn't stop being hateful when you say it's temporary, and neither does blatantly violating the Constitution become OK.
"And some, I assume, are good people." This immediately follows "They’re rapists." So, what does it mean? Some of the rapists are good people? Or he meant to say that some of them are rapists? Even there, "some" implies not huge amount, so "some are good people" implies most of them aren't. So, OK, he only called most illegal Mexican immigrants rapists, that's not much better.
Finally, let me guess, you believe his followup damage control that "second amendment people" meant their superior abilities at political organization?
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
How is that not an allusion to assassination? He is talking about a situation in which Hillary has won and appointed a judge. How else do people suspect "second amendment people" are going to stop her at that point?
I wish the people who voted for Trump would just be honest and take ownership of the hate, instead of trying to gaslight everyone by playing dumb.
First there was that poster with a six-pointed "sheriff" star on a pile of money, which (to me at least) didn't seem definitively anti-semitic. But in conjunction with hiring Steve Bannon (who has said he doesn't want his kids going to a school with too many Jews), running the "global special interests" ad, and retweeting white nationalists, it all starts to add up.
I'm Canadian, so I didn't vote for anybody.
I'm simply not blinded by rhetoric and political leanings like most in the US are. It may surprise you, but many in the rest of the world think both sides are nuts.
Condones violence? You know that Hilary has been behind actual violence, right? Voting for bombing other countries and such things? She voted to go into Iraq. How many people have died? Is she not accountable in any way?
Honest question if you're concerned about violence: who has more blood on their hands, Trump or Clinton?

How about when he made fun of a disabled person?
How about all of the other hateful and demeaning stuff he said to various women?
How about when your candidate actually did participate in things that other people consider war crimes, like bombing hospitals and DWOB encampments in the middle east?
He really did call for a ban on muslims in the US. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/07...
He did say mexicans bring crime, drugs and rapists. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/04/trump-stands-by-v...
He advocated a "second amendment solution" if Hillary were to be allowed to pick supreme court judges. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/us/politics/donald-trump-h...
That's not what that says. Quote it. I'm so sick you liars.
I don't agree with the approach, but do you understand why he said this? The idea was to vet people coming into the country to prevent homegrown terror. It's a real thing, and people are concerned about it. I doubt that it'll work, the problem is more nuanced, but it's not a ridiculous idea.
>said illegal Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists
No, he said that Mexico sends their worst, not that all Mexican immigrants are criminals.
>and suggested that his supporters should assassinate his opponent
Source?
For Mexicans, he said "they're rapists" without limiting the number. He then said some of them are good people, which is confusing and contradictory. Deciding what he really meant is a matter of interpretation and you'll never know if you have the right answer or not. This is, of course, a constant theme with the Trump campaign: say something outrageous, but with just enough wiggle room to explain it away as something else.
As for assassination: "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know." This was later explained as a reference to the pro-gun political power, but that makes no sense: Supreme Court justices with lifetime appointments don't care about political activism.
