Something tells me that Trump will have a head-to-head fight with the press and networks on a regular basis. He'll reward the obsequious sycophants (AKA FAUX NEWS) with front row seats while the other networks will be relegated to the janitor's closet.

So, you're no longer a "pub"? During the primaries, you made a big deal about telling us all that you were a "pub". First you were for Jeb! When that didn't work out for you, you switched to Rubio---that was a no go. Then you switched to Cruz. Come election time, you said you were going to vote for Hillary. I take it that you are now a card carrying DNC member?
You like posting about me. I am an Independent. I planned on supporting the GOP nominee no matter who it was other than MEIN TRUMP. Agreed with absolutely everything Romney said about him to the "T". I'm sure I explained this several times to you. Anybody but Trump. Got it?

Well...Trump is what you got. Suck it up and deal with it or you will be in for a very rough 4-8 years ahead of you. Your choice.
So let's talk about the history of the KKK a bit and it's connection to the Democrats shall we?
Theft of Labor:
Lincoln headed up what the Democrats called the Black Republican Party.
Declaration of Independence means “men were created equal… in certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Lincoln knew that the Founding Fathers could not have outlawed slavery and still had a Union. No southern state would have joined such a union and slavery would have lasted much longer.
Fredrick Douglas once called Lincoln the White Man’s President. There was a movement by many blacks and at one time Lincoln to consider relocating blacks to Africa, but meeting Lincoln restored his faith in America
Douglas didn’t want to leave nor destroy America. He wanted to participate in America.
For the 1st time in history, a Great War was fought to end slavery.
300,000 Northern soldiers died.
The Civil Rights Movement was not a break with the American founding. The principles were already set down in the Declaration of Independence.
· The principles were already set down in the Declaration of Independence.
· “The topic of race more than any other generates taboos. Taboos are the enemy of history and truth.”
· White Indentured Servants- Starting in 1618, children captured from the streets of London were sold into colonial America.
· Over the next 150 years, 150,000 Irishmen women and children were declared soldiers of war and sold as Indentured Servants in Virginia and New England.
· Indentured Servitude usually lasted 7 years, but some were extended or died there. They worked side by side with Black slaves, and at one time, outnumbered them.
William Ellision owned 1000 acres and 60 slaves. He was perhaps once a slave himself. He practiced slave breeding, a practice very frowned upon even at that time.
Henry Louis Gates and other scholars estimate that, in a period before the Civil War, there were approximately 3,500 free African-Americans who owned more than 10,000 Black slaves.
In South Carolina, about the same percentage of black as whites owned slaves.
Slavery existed all over the world. Egyptians, Chinese, Africans, American Indians all had slaves, long before Columbus came into the scene.
Tragically, slavery continues today.
That French aristocrat, Alexis de Tocqueville, made mention as to why slavery just doesn’t work. For one thing, there’s no incentive in it for the Black slave. Why should they want to produce for another under such horrid conditions? For another, it doesn’t come even close to benefiting the slave owner either. It makes them lazy, among other things. It just doesn’t work.
What is uniquely Western is the Abolition of slavery. What’s uniquely American is the fighting of a Great War to end it.
Madame Walker and her daughter Lelia- aka Sarah Breedlove…
Sold hair care products door to door.
She became the first self-made female millionaire in America.
Why isn’t she in the history books? Why isn’t Michael Moore and Elizabeth Warren talking about her?
Why doesn’t Matt Damon talking about her? Heah Chowd? How bout’ dim apples?
Martin Luther King once said, “Every man must write with his own hand the charter of his Emancipation Proclamation. We are all in this country a minority of one and how we succeed or fail depends on our efforts.”
