Trump’s outreach to black voters is a dog whistle for racists.

"The test will apply to all immigrants, yet its obvious target is Muslims, who, as we know, get a bit bomby in the presence of gays, a bit rapey in the presence of women who wear skirts shorter than their ankles and generally a bit hostile and violent around anyone who doesn’t have their bum in the air five times a day."
The author actually thinks this is ok. Seems contradictory to the ideals we express, in "give me your tired, your weak, and your poor."
Just saying......

Oh man, how stupid
So, this is written by the former primary candidate, Ben Carson. IMO, it is a moronic and overly simple argument. For some reason he still feels compelled to defend this bigot.
For one, he mentions how when he was younger he would let his emotions run rampant and lash out when he felt threatened or attacked. What does it say about a thin skinned man-child who still does it? If trump were smarter he would shut his word hole and just let the news cycle die. He still thinks any press is good press.
Secondly, Mr. Khan was reacting to the statements of a loud mouthed orange haired hamster, that I felt, were reasonable given the acid-like statements of said rodent.
"substantive discussions"???? Dr. Carson, you are giving trump too much credit if you think he is capable of this. And asking the media to keep the candidates on point.... ,WTF? What is this kindergarten? Shouldn't the person running for one of the most powerful jobs on the planet be capable enough of keeping themselves on message?

.... and they continue to support him. I still don't get this.

Just a matter of when. Trump will use a loss as a way to say things were hacked. His loss will cause more harm than good in the short term.

Good line in here about how both parties just want power. Not a fair report on Clinton though. She listened to both sides and made her choice. The wrong choice IMO.

Holy crap, you mean private insurance firms were committing fraud against the government and costing taxpayers money. I am sure the market would have eventually found them in their own. We don't need more oversight. (That was sarcasm in case you missed it.)

If she was black.....
First, as the father of girls, the act done by the boys is abhorrent, and they should be punished severely under the law of the land. The refugee backlash is becoming equally abhorrent.
It's only because the girl was white is this a big issue. If the young girl was black, no one in this town would lift a finger. Not sure what to call it other than pure racism.
