I hate Trump. Still don't know what I am going to do. But I also hate how the extremely biased media has gleefully fed the pig. The left has progressed off the cliff of rational (I was a Dem, while ago, no more - radical independent).

Interesting historical note, the last time the country was this divided, parties collapsed, and major party convention daces all occured at the same time, we went to war with ourselves. And racsim.

But at least this time we'll have a POTUS that can pardon herself.

Why not - everyone redefines racism to fit their own model. Whether real or imagined.

I don't know. I may vote Trump purely for SCOTUS.

This kerfuffle is a case in point. Mexican is as much a race as American is a race. Mexico is comprised of various races. Mexican is a term of national origin or ethnic heritage. Defining Mexican as a race in order to impose a racist badge of infamy on someone is a vile misuse of "race" and "racism."

Within an hour of Barack Obama's endorsement of Hillary Clinton, his spokesman acknowledged that she faces a 'criminal investigation'
