He's right on the money. What has he done for his district except to keep them feed, housed and voting democrat? He's a complete failure.

I thought Trump surrounded himself "only with the best and most serious people."

Where does he find all these goofballs?

Outgoing White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough declined to call President-elect Donald Trump “legitimate” when questioned by CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union on Sunday morning.

I guess you could call that "stepping up". Smoothest Transition in the history of the USA.
All this "not legitimate" is a well thought out plan - like most of the Left's "well thought out plans"
It's likely to Backfire on them.

I don't see John Lewis as someone who is thinking straight. Trump won the election fair and square and according to the process laid out by the Constitution. Lewis is pandering to his childish, immature base who can't accept that they didn't get what they wanted.

I have no doubts certain blacks have benefited but many have not, black flight is fine but dont turn around and support anti cop crap like black lives matter which is just exploitative of poor communities . It gives rich and black middle class a sense of racial unity when most of these celebrities and black middle class dont want be anywhere near these ghettos.

People like beyonce have lived lives of privilege and wealth and attended great schools and then turn around and exploit inner city problems, of which she knows nothing about.
Either you are missing my point, or totally ignoring it altogether. I said HISTORICALLY. HISTORICALLY, southern cities have had more violence per capita compared to cities nationwide. This was in relation to Birmingham and Selma.

Can you prove that the Civil Rights movement was harmful to Black people? Last I checked, the opposite took place. In fact, I have examples showing you such. Show me where the Civil Rights movement harmed Blacks. Do what the state nickname of Missouri indicates.

One more thing. You lost credibility when you accused me of being anti-cop or supporting being "anti-cop". You know nothing about me and the very fact that you accuse me of such shows me where your mentality is. This isn't about making Black people's lives better. My opinion is that this is about "Black people should only live in Black neighborhoods".

So what if those celebrities won't live in those ghettos? I don't expect them too. Doesn't bother me. I would never live in those ghettos. I wasn't raised in them, nor would I ever want to live in them.

Tell us EXACTLY what he should do?

I mean, what is YOUR congressman doing for the poor in your district? Your state is so welfare laden that no one should be poor.

"I am very curious about how he will react to the role of President. I think he has no idea what he is walking into."

EVERY President has said the same thing AFTER they become President.

How was Obama "prepared"

The ONLY thing he ran was Community Organizer.

Voted "here" over 100 times

Why should Trump be any different?

I think being CEO of such a large enterprise will make him MORE "prepared " then any other President in History.
