I appreciate her going into the inner city and asking the opinions of the residents, something Republicans(even non-white ones) don't have the balls to do.

But what's her plan?
Tax cuts for the rich. That will trickle down to all the homeless and poor.

Lol..for the same reason I have to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan.

BTW...people in Baltimore pay taxes too. Your community gets tax money as well. And your municipality has the same cesspool as everyone else’s.

So again, black folks business is NONE of your concern.

You have no idea what racism is if you think my posts were. You're trying way too hard trying to be edgy and it's embarrassing. Go project your biases and insecurities on someone else.
Ok, maybe your posts weren't "racist". They were, however, condescending and belittling to a woman of color. Something you wouldn't tolerate if she were a Democrat.

I still want to know who launders your sheets. Wait, you guys call them robes.

It's funny how you say than the Klan supports Republicans when every, single one of them I've ever come into contact with are Democrats.

We could ask the same of the city administration, but I think they have had more than 3 years of time.

Great commercial, but are the rats gone?

I'm condescending and belittling to all politicians that make poor campaign choices. I didn't criticize her because she's black, I criticized her because she came off as way out of touch with the communities she's claiming to want to help, while also doing a disservice to the history of why poor minority communities like that exist in the first place. And apparently the people of Baltimore agree because she lost the city by like 95% of the vote last time.

Second, you're lying about the KKK. First, if you're encountering so many of them, maybe you should find better friends. I don't think I've ever met any personally, and wouldn't want to. Second, it's laughable to claim that they would ever support the modern Democratic party. Any quick Google search can find their ideology- white supremacy, nativism, anti-immigration, anti-feminist, anti-non-Christian, anti-LGBT, etc. These are all hallmarks of the present conservatism of the GOP. So let's cut the BS, please.

Most people think she came across as very much in touch. You should make your case if you have one.
And why DO poor minority communities like that exist? ........... If you have an answer I would sure love to hear it.
Absent of any real information from you, I think it is safe to assume this is just another one of your anti-Trump rants, and you actually dislike her simply because she is a Republican.

Who said they were friends? I live in SoMD so your buddies in the white robes are fairly common. At least they're honest about their racism instead of that genteel sort you practice by underestimating abilities (Blacks don't know where the DMV is to get an ID) or the code words (the wrong people) you all use.

And yeah, you're criticizing Klasic because she's a Black Republican with a leavening of misogyny.

Tax cuts and their performance aren't definitive, they work on a "bell curve" with a sweet spot. Cut taxes too much, the corporations get a free ride (even that is subjective because at least people have their jobs instead of reduced to gov't handouts). Raise taxes too much, and the corporations simply move else ware/overseas and you've got nothing. BOTH parties administrations of the past have ignored this fact for decades, and have had their hands out for more taxes from a dwindling group of tax payers (domestic corporations/manufacturers and the middle class). Trump is the first one to come along and actually do something about it, and it worked. The federal gov't saw in excess of a 50% increase in collected taxes, by dropping the corporate tax rate almost 1/3rd.
Think of it equal to selling a $1 cheeseburger that your restaurant makes 20 cents on, but you sell 5x as many cheeseburgers as the competition @ $1.39 and therefore profit more. Democrats can't see this and just want to keep raising the price of the cheeseburger......

No, conservative Trump supporters think that way. Obviously the people of Baltimore disagree.

I gave an answer to that question upthread- 200 years of slavery followed by 100 years of segregation followed by systemic racism and disenfranchisement through the present day. This is all well-known stuff. No single city mayor or council can fix all of those problems. As if Republican-run cities don't have crime or poor minorities.

No, I dislike her because she's like so many Republicans/conservatives- she believes in simple answers to complex problems, platitudes over tangible policy. She's just another empty vessel populist without anything real to offer.
