Why don't you try to tell me what Trump meant then, humor me.
I heard him say he and the country does not have time for political correctness, then he went on with more comments that many consider incredibly insensitive and insulting that over-shadowed the Fox debate and turned it into a Trump Megyn Kelly reality TV escapade.
Trump doesn't have a right to defend himself against a malicious line of questioning by Megyn Kelly? I understand that a man who is strong willed and has deep convictions is intimidating to liberals, given that we've spent the last 7 years with a commander-in-chief who has gone on a world tour on his hands and knees apologizing to every world leader.
Obama is not very bright and the whole world is laughing at how incompetent he and many of our leaders are.

We're talking about a contender for POTUS here, not someone who gets paid to be outrageous.
Yet the left had no problem electing a man with essentially no experience, other than serving as a "community organizer". I would say that 90% of Obama's waking hours are comprised of whining and pouting about his political opponents. He really has an awful personality and I don't think he has any friends. Think about it: he even puts his own VP to sleep with his speeches.

Those oil rich Arabs in Dubai and such are big culprits of this. They have ZERO loyalty to the American worker since everything is global now, they will just replace you with someone cheaper. That's just the way globalism works.
I understand the argument you are trying to make here, but your wrong and you even said so in the bold. The Shareholders wanting more money doesnt stop the CEO from paying his employees more.

Even Barney Frank finally understood that forcing over 50% of the loans Fannie & Freddie (the largest source of mortgage funding in the U.S.) bought be from banks' and originators' loans to high-risk borrowers was what precipitated the crisis.
Barney's own words:
Quote:
Asked about the government's affordable housing goals compelling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before the crisis to devote more than half their portfolios to riskier nonprime mortgages for low-income borrowers, Frank blurted out: "No more goals, no more telling the private sector" how to invest in the housing market.
"Barney," Liesman asked, "are you suggesting that the goals of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the concept of promoting homeownership, was something that contributed to the crisis?
I said the gap as you were using it, is irrelevant to the argument you were making and it is.
You're admitting that you don't believe wage gaps are relevant.
That's GREAT news! Now you can stop whining about increasing minimum wage (we don't even need one at all if a wage gap is irrelevant) and CEO salaries.
No wonder you vote Dem. The highest wage gaps, which you think are irrelevant, are in blue states.
So... why are people complaining about income inequality if the income gap is "irrelevant and inconsequential?"
Are you claiming it's NOT a problem that the income gap is widest in blue states?
Similar to BlacLivesMatter. When a Dem (Obama) is running up the biggest income equality in the nation's history, the income gap is irrelevant and inconsequential. If a Republican (Bush) ran up an ever so slight increase in the income gap, it's the only thing that matters.

Yes but I don't know if more stupid or more hypocritical...tough and close race.
