Quote:I don't see it in Donald to do it, and the responses in this thread indicate that point.


Van Jones said something out loud that I was thinking. This was a punishment for America electing a Black president. The people who did not want a progressive society voted for Trump. The people who give him a pass on his rape allegations, class action lawsuits regarding race discrimination, etc are essentially saying they want America to be what it was before diversity took shape.

I don't know who Van Jones is but that is about stupid. Obama is not the only progressive President to be in office though he is the only black man to be in office. To say that folks who voted for him want America to be like the old days is a stretch. I'm sure there are older folks who voted for him that feel that way, but many voted for him for reasons other than those.

 

He ran and won the nomination as a republican

He is not a career politician

He doesn't take crap from anyone

He can't be bought

He made DC stand up and take notice with his unconventional ways

 

These are just a few. Rape allegations were unfounded/dropped. Most people with a working brain know he is not innocent of being a narcissist, egotist, womanizer, etc. With all of the things that are 'wrong' with him, the number of independent and undecided voters who chose him over Clinton, etc., must show you just how bad of a candidate she was. I voted Johnson because Libertarian is how I roll and I wasn't going to vote for Trump, no matter what. Even to keep Clinton out of the WH and I wanted that very badly.
