no, but they are often overpriced
Yes.
It would be refreshing for board Pubs like sailor, TinTin, catamount, DG3, juenbug, to just say that he’s racist outloud and stop denying or ignoring it.
Won’t happen, I know, but a boy can dream.
Strange how Trumpites regard any criticism of them, especially by minorities, as divisive racial rhetoric, but tweets and comments from Trump and his followers isn't divisive or racist at all. If only those LibDems and minorities would just shut up and stop complaining about racism, the country would be united!
Get ready for a lot of the same for the next 15 months. Trump is going to make the 2020 election about race and immigrants. His recent war with Cummings isn't just lashing out against a committee head. It's calculated, and we're going to see a lot more of it. I recall an interview with Steve Bannon from before he left the administration where he said that, when race issues are in the news, his side wins. I wondered about that for a while but then took notice of Trump's favorability ratings surrounding his Cville comments. The MSM has generally regarded his Cville comments as 1 of the lowest points of his presidency. However, his ratings mostly stayed the same in the weeks following those comments and actually went up about 1 (statistically insignificant) point in the 1-2 months after 8/12/17. Trump believes this strategy will help him in the midwest battleground states.
No doubt this will be his strategy, he and several aides have all but said so, and it's clear that he thinks this is a winning strategy for him. Whether it will work remains to be seen. It certainly didn't work in last year's elections, when he tried to gin up fear about the "mob" of immigrants approaching the border. I think at best it's a wash - it will appeal to his base, but it may also turn college-educated suburbanites (especially women) against him, which is what happened last year, and led to the big Democratic gains in House races around the country. At any rate, it will be a terrible thing for the country to have to go through, whether it works or not.
Tweet for every occasion. Remember when Trump blamed the “African American president” for Baltimore
