"Trump’s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans in the 1970s and gave preferential treatment to whites, according to the federal government."

"Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, according to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”

"Trump said: “I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that. I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really believe they do have an actual advantage.”

"In December 2015, Trump called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” including refusing to readmit Muslim-American citizens who were outside of the country at the time."

"Trump said a federal judge hearing a case about Trump University was biased because of the judge’s Mexican heritage."

"In June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” and that 40,000 Nigerians, once seeing the United States, would never “go back to their huts” in Africa."

"He spent years suggesting that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Kenya, a lie that Trump still has not acknowledged as such.

"Trump once referred to a Hispanic Miss Universe as “Miss Housekeeping.”

“Not only will this tax plan pay for itself but it will pay down debt,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin famously boasted in September. But his own department’s analysts now peg the 10-year cost at $2.3 trillion given the administration’s assumption that tax breaks for individuals and large estates will be extended past 2025."

"In a meeting with lawmakers, President Trump expressed support for a “comprehensive” gun bill that would include stronger background checks and temporarily take guns away from high-risk individuals."

The dynamics have changed because of the actions of the person already in office.

The current administration has positioned themselves is such a manner that they cannot really criticize anyone on the issues.

 

You know, I'm a bit at loose ends myself. A decade as a father of young children has obliterated most of my hobbies, but now they are old enough that I have some free time again and nothing to do. Maybe a 2020 run is just the thing to occupy my free time?

BLM peaked too early. But honestly, I think it has always been a much bigger deal to conservatives who fear racial marginalization that it has been to liberals wanting racial equality. There might be some celebrating of brown candidates, but that's about as far as it goes. Trump's DOJ won't do any Ferguson-like oversight like Obama's did. Do you even see a Democratic politico complaining about it? We'll probably see some actually black people (plus some Russian bots) complain about how Democrats take them for granted, and then the Democrats will do it anyway. So, no, I don't see them running on race; I see Trumpers running on Democrats running on race.

How do Republicans manage to run on fiscal responsibility and a strong military at the same time? Or fiscal responsibility and tax cuts at the same time?

Lol on confiscation. That's what I'll run on. But Democrats with a chance of being nominated are going to be at great pains to avoid taking any action that can be construed as impinging on Second Amendment rights, and then will be accused of it anyway. Maybe an assault weapon ban, but mostly a focus on a gun registry, gun-show 'loopholes' and that kind of crap. They will definitely not be trying to take away anyone's guns unless something in our society dramatically shifts.

I don't think anyone is in or out at the point. I don't have any speculation on who would be best nor any favorite. I don't think Harris is out; she's not a one-trick pony.

 

Kudos on being so patient to respond as you did. Me... I probably would have responded with a funny gif... but I don't have your patience or kindness

 

LMFAO

You know it is true.

As soon as Trump attempts to label another candidate as any of the things you stated........ all they have to do is go to the massive book of Trump actions and quotes.....

 

I just like to hear myself talk.

 

Politics might be very well be your calling, then!

 

Highly unlikely

 

You support a current president with zero individual merit who nutted out of a 413 million dollar penis.

Obama with his own acadet merit graduated from Columbia Law and was a prominent law professor at Harvard and a prominent civil rights attorney along with being a senator. Yes there have been more experienced presidents. George H Bush was more experienced. It doesn't mean Obama had done nothing in his life an magically ran and won for president .

So yes, he actually has done things "in the real world".

It's posts like these where I don't fault.another poster for using the "racist" term towards you.

 

They said similar things about Abraham Lincoln after he lost to Douglas.

What "home state" did Donald Trump deliver? It wasn't New York.

You don't know very much about Beto. He very seldom engages in personal attacks. His platform will be as articulate as other cults of personality like Ike, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton, Trump and Obama.

You keep getting hung up on this, but it isn't any different than any other Presidential candidate. They all are competing for a finite number of votes. Also, Beto is likely to come across as more moderate than either Warren or Sanders. Beto has a chance to have an appeal to moderates and even some non insane Republicans.

Yes, skin color is why Obama made it......... as we have seen floods of black candidates make it deep into Presidential primaries based on being black.

Obama won because people liked him, and trusted him. He won the electoral college and he won the popular vote.

Beto doesn't have to be the "first" anything to potentially win the Democratic nomination.

Beto has a level of charisma and likability that no one else has and that usually means quite a bit at the end of the day.

 

Ignoring the highlighted parts that to me open you up to criticism... since when is the ability to raise large amounts of cash considered to be a bad thing when discussing a national candidate running against a well-funded incumbent?

 

"Just trying to buy an election." "increasingly sophisticated electorate". LOL.

 

"Sophisticated electorate" aka an electorrel that uses memes and click bait titles as their primary source .

 

trump's friends in russia found the electorate very sophisticated?
