I think he was referring to the fact that she was referring to a meeting room full of HBCU (historically black college and university) presidents…schools that were created out of necessity related to segregation. She tried to tie that into school choice. Need we remember the national guard enforced integrations of Ole Miss and Alabama. It was dishonorable. The rest of your points are valid.

Yep, MoreMuscle…that one got a HUGE “WTF???” out of me!
HBCU’s were a great example of CHOICE???
How about the fact that just about the only thing a Black Person could do at Colleges and Universities in the U.S. was cut grass; clean toilets; and clean up vomit in Fraternity and Sorority Houses?
Is she kidding?
HBCU’s were created out of necessity…

Agreed. But I have a feeling this is all going right out the window in the next few days. There’s been no pivot in over a year-and-a-half. I’m not sure why we should expect one after one speech…that was clearly not written by him.
I honestly can’t tell if she’s trolling or stupid or both. She clearly has an agenda though. She will utilize any opportunity to push it.

No doubt you could be right…I just hope not.
As it stands now (it’s about 3AM here…and there is no indication that there is a TWEET that cancels everything out)…Trump kind of “righted the Ship”…
I tell you what, though…I bet there are a lot of Republicans…and certainly Trumps staff and inner circle…who breathed a deep, DEEP sigh of relief after the speech…
I wish he would tweet more because of how much it bothers his enemies.
His old tweets from years ago are full of gold as well.
Agreed. From my side of the fence the gold=hypocrisy, but goddamn is he an entertaining fool
That’s fine for reality TV, but not a value add for the POTUS.

No idea how a fiscal conservative could back large spending by Trump after complaining about Obama’s stimulus.

Republicans are in a phase where they’re willing to do literally anything as long as Obama did it first. I doubt many GoP standards will survive the transition.

Because he gets the most important question of our time immigration completely correct.
Bad Fiscal policy can be reversed bad immigration cannot
I know it is to you, but that is not reality. Don’t forget your stance ingores the multiple versions of his immigration policy making it impossible to be “correct” as it doesn’t have form yet. Whatever it ends up being I highly doubt it will include deporting ~11 million people as he initially proposed. Although I’m guessing you can’t recognize that through your bromance glasses.
Yes it can be, but not with Trump. A fiscal conservative supporting an agenda that is similar to an agenda they opposed would by hypocritical.

Keeping in mind many of the guests brought by congress and the president are to gain political points, Trump’s guest made everyone melt. Many will point out that they were used as puppets and that may be, but motivation aside I think Trump made a lot of people happy by showcasing their stories. I was particularly proud of the president when introducing Megan Crowley and explaining how the private sector makes advances in medicine and saves lives.
Without a majority western European population there is no GOP and certainly no conservatism.
That is why immigration is the most important question of our time.
Whether he does what he says he’s going to do with respect to immigration remains to be seen.
Ah, so to you the most important issue of our time is race and maintaining white majority. Thanks for clarifying, but I’ll stick to the policy issues regardless of what skin color or origin of birth the person has.

Do you have any actual arguments or facts or just this sanctimonious post?
Voting patterns are there for you to see who votes in what way.
I just thought about one other thing, T…
If this speech was “real” and “from the heart”…and not some “political calculation” made by the Trifecta of Bannon, Trump and Priebus…then “Hail to the Chief”…
Otherwise, the much deserved “bump-and-glow” of the speech will not survive Trump’s next tweet…
One can only hide who they truly are for so long…
We’ll see.

Yes, you must not be following the conversation.
I started by saying that fiscal conservatives supporting spending that they previously opposed with Obama would be hypocritical. Your counter was that it didn’t matter because maintaining a white majority is the issue of our time.
I normally would be surprised, but through your posting history I know your distorted view would most likely turn the conversation into something along those lines.
Serious question. As “white people” are on the decline with no end in sight, do you see any way to save the GoP if it really is reliant on a white majority?
You can’t have a fiscally conservative government without a majority western European population
Trumps Immigration policies carve a path for fiscal conservativism to be possible in the future well after Trump is gone
