11. I beg to differ.

Dec 2016

They only had eyes for the black guy, and couldn't wait to get him out of there. The racism and xenophobia in this country was eye opening for me. I knew it was there but not to this extent.

Had nothing to do with Dem weakness, or especially Obama's, who racked up wins despite all the rethugs who voted against him time and again. I don't think that shows weakness.

It had a lot to do with dt stirring up the masses with hate and anger, and faux berating and belittling the Clintons for decades. People know they didn't like Hillary but could never explain why. At least that is what I found in the people I ran across in FL.
