If you are going to vote a certain way based on a single issue, who cares if you get jobs, or if predominately AA communities are safe or not. Doesn't matter, right?
I have a job and live in a safe community.

The fact that you don’t has nothing to do with me.

It also saves money in the long run which is good for taxpayers (no matter what color they are).

Republicans are like pigs in a trough when they get power...always doling out the public purse to their favored constituencies. The latest "tax reform" was clearly aimed at hurting blue states. But tell yourself whatever you want.

You seem to make it your business how AA people vote... is that all that matters to you?

Do you not see how backwards that way of thinking is. No one is asking if you now completely support the president. No one expects you to completely support the president based on any single issue. However, is it that hard to say "yes, I support the president" on this issue? And if it is impossible for you to do so, I think you should stop and ask yourself why. Why am I completely unable to support the president, even when he is doing things I like or support? At what point does hatred begin to pollute who we really are, and stop us from being happy, even when something goes our way? Just saying, it's sad when a person hates so completely that they can't even give their support on issues they agree with, because they hate the person making it happen.

Destroying Obama was job#1 for Republicans from the first days of his administration.
We pretty much did it, too, since literally thousands of Dems lost their jobs. But we did not finish, so now Trump must try to undo everything Obama before 2020, just in case he doesn't win.
