Wow... the Dems in my family are all very high-achieving folks who pursued higher education rather than assuming that their high school diploma would get them jobs in dying industries. Quite a few Master's degrees and careers in STEM fields.

No need to go there for love.
Trump can hold a rally anywhere and get love, unlike whoever the 2020 Democrat candidate is.

When I said "Democrats" I was referring to Democrat politicians, they lost because they didn't understand America.
But I do also find fault with Democrats as a whole, many of whom trust CNN and The New York Times.
That's the problem with academics, they are easily fooled by media.

Nobody could have done what Trump did last year, nobody.
Others would have dropped out of the race.
I see he have captivated you, and your are a big supporter and fan. So do you agree with everything about him, can he do no wrong? And I'm not a fan of Sessions, but do you agree with how he is trashing him in the public?

Boy Scouts put out a statement about how they don't get involved in supporting political things.

So why did they invite Trump? Surely they knew he would attack Obama, carry on about “fake news†and bad mouth Clinton.

The rambling on about the builder going bankrupt who “ was now much older. And I saw him at a cocktail party, and it was very sad because the hottest people in New York were at this party, ...†might have been unexpected, but the rest is Trump's M.O.

Boy Scouts of America distances itself from partisan politics after Trump speech - POLITICO

No. Trump has quite a few Eagles in his cabinet. In addition to Sessions, the ones that come immediately to mind include Zinke, Perry, and Tillerson (who notably also holds a Silver Buffalo award).

Trump's overt political speech to the BSA was disgusting. A speech about America and its values and the scouts place in relation to them was in order. He instead went his typical low class route denigrating opponents. He set a very bad example.

Sessions appears to be a Clinton fan, as he's been silent on that front despite massive ammunition.
And there is nothing worse than a Clinton fan.
I always wanted Rudy G to be AG.
