As far as Trump is concerned, I don't know him as well as you apparently do, but I'm willing to give him a chance to see what he can do for the country. I really don't care if the press like him or not, or if other countries like him or not, the question is what is he trying to accomplish for Americans. The only certainty I knew at election time was that I didn't want to go in the direction in which the other candidate wanted to lead us.

I am not very adept at this and thus I come across as blunt..I prefer face to face interaction. I say that because either I was not clear or you are twisting my words into something.
First, I was trying to respond to your saying how non racial opinions of Obama are. I begin by telling you, race was a big issue, meaning the black voters voted for Obama because of his race, and I hate that fact.
I think you are being extremely naive when you speak of Trump. I will assume that you didn't mean to be sarcastic in your comment saying how I might "know" Trump better. I know him because I believe it is important to KNOW our candidates. When I was Bucco, I was attacked because I brought up Alinsky, harped on the Rev Wright his up bringing. If you did not do your due diligence on Trump, and you would not be alone, I say without being a wise guy....I did my homework, just as I did on Obama.
If, on this forum specifically, you cannot determine the racial animosity, you are not paying attention. If you had done ANY reading on Trump, his racial background leaps of the pages.
I will stop there because I think you are naive. Some of the posters on here don't hide it....some are sneaky about it, but it's there and visible.
