Looks like we fucked that up, Tom.

Trump is certainly no Jefferson, who was a racist to the bone.  He and his buddy Washington fought a war to ensure slavery in America.  Jefferson was a great thinker, writer, and speaker.  Trump uses a 200 word vocabulary.  Trump is a racist but he has no plans to bring back slavery.  He might want to throw black people in prison but the Clintons did do that and if Hillary is elected that's what she will do again.
