Just one of my favorite moments from the 2016 election.  I like to bring it up whenever I can.  I still think it's why Trump is president.

Exactly.

Trump is president because a portion of the country can’t stomach the fact that their country had actually given real reason to a black woman to think it is great.

I'd give us a solid spot in the Top 10.

That just goes to show there's something wrong with your thinking.

But it appears that, 14 month into his term, american is still not great.  

Take for example our blackouts.   Today, 7 month after hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, America still can not claim for itself the honor of having had the longest and largest black out in recorded history.

To add insult to injury, it appears the little yellow people in our former colony the Philippines can still boast having a bigger blackout than the land of many fine white people, some of whom, through nothing that would impune their character, happen to find themselves marching in white sheets or under the swastika.

I kid you not, I had to send Tweet to a local TV station anchor to remind her that Puerto Rico WAS NOT a separate country and part of the United States.

Shitholes?  That's what he is turning us into.


Quote:is the Donald really that much different than Hillary would have been? 



I think the answer to that is a resounding yes.  Clinton was not inspiring but she was competent.  The WLB is neither and he surrounds himself with A#1 assholes and criminals.

Your reaction to 'America is the greatest' was the same as mine was.  I immediately thought of the dumb blond from the Newsroom.  But they cheered like crazy at the convention, and, I think, alienated black voters and Bernie voters.
