That was all political. Politics is a dirty business. In politics, you use what you’ve got.

His father was from Kenya. His middle name is Husain.

If you were a political consultant, and you DIDN'T use that stuff, you should be sued for malpractice.

It only seems worse to you than the stuff they do to white politicians because you are biased, and you can conveniently slap that “racist” label on it to make it seem worse.
Nice try and nice spin. Never used the word "racist" in my post and the statement is true. Please read again. It is wrong to lie about someone's birthplace and religion, but you clearly only have a problem agreeing with the obvious unless it is done to a politician you support. Pot meet kettle.

I have occasionally criticized tactics and attacks against politicians I do not support (the Kathy Griffin skit on Trump, attacks on Ted Cruz about his wife & having lived in Canada, about Reagan's age, etc).

So I don’t know what your issue is then. It seems you agree with me that this mudslinging happens to every politician no matter what color and gender they are. For what it’s worth, I don’t personally agree with all the Kenya/Muslim tactics either, but I know that is just politics. And I certainly don’t think it is racist, any more than I think the “old white guy” mantra of the left, is racist. It’s all just politics.

No issues. Just providing information and a viewpoint. Glad you are not OK with it either. Was not clear from prior posts. Fwiw, Obama did not engage in attacks almost every day when he was President, like Trump does almost every day on Twitter. Very insecure. Some Presidents were better at making the effort to be Presidential.

Obama is not a narcissist like Trump. If the orange guy doesn’t say something about himself everyday, I think he would go absolutely insane! Too late maybe?

I began drinking bourbon straight from the bottle at 1:40 am, when it was official that he had won. Trump and his ilk are a cancer destroying this country. Counting the days until retirement so I can finally be an ex pat.

It was only not clear because I live in reality, so my acceptance of it could be construed as something more, I guess. In my perfect world in my mind, where I am god, it would not happen on either side.

Now you are getting into a different topic about Trump. One I don’t disagree with, but it just doesn’t have the same impact on me that it seems to have on people on the left.

And Obama destroyed the Democrat party with his "effort" as President. He was afraid to stand for anything.

This speaks for itself.

I could not stop flipping back and forth from CNN, to MSNBC, while watching the Young Turks and INFOwars split screen on the puter.

^^^^^I agree with this 100%, and the assertion that Trump is insecure is hilarious not to mention downright moronic since NO Republican President of recent vintage has attacked the media as much as he has and exposed their penchant for out & out lying in attempting to smear our President. His use of Twitter in savagely attacking them just as they've been savagely attacking him even before he became President

They haven't gotten over the fact that he tore into them in his Charlottesville speech in which he blamed BOTH sides for the chaos in the streets since they're not used to anyone challenging them.

Brian Ross has now become the latest incompetent tool of the MSM by now having to admit that he lied with his 'breaking news' story on GMA on Friday regarding Michael Flynn which he had to 'clarify' several hours later on ABC's World News Tonight.

Ross has a history of sloppy and downright agenda-driven as opposed to fact-driven reporting, including his atrocious reporting about the Colorado movie theater massacre in 2012 in which he breathlessly accused shooter James Holmes of joining the Tea Party in 2011, yet ANOTHER lie on his part, yet he still has his job.

So much for the impartiality of the mainstream media which they insist is the case; what a laugh.

Obama destroyed the party that still managed to easily win the popular vote over Trump despite Clinton's flawed campaign and despite Comey's 11th hour surprise? Tell Osama bin Laden that Obama never took a stand. Lol.

Fwiw, Clinton should have been in MI, PA & WI in the last days of the campaign instead of AZ. Just a temporary bump in the road. With Flynn's cooperation with the current investigation, Trump will be lucky if he finishes one term.

Meanwhile, Trump and most Republicans in Congress are OK with Alabama sending a pedophile to Congress, while many Democrats have criticized Conyers and Franken for their actions with adult women and several have asked them to resign. The GOP is the party in jeopardy.
