The Democrats are lucky the February debate in New Hampshire took place on a Friday night, when relatively few were watching — because if they wanted to deliver the message to the working-class white people who delivered the upper Midwest and the presidency to Donald Trump in 2016 that they should stick with him rather than voting blue in November, they did a brilliant job of it.
Tom Steyer, the billionaire who’s trying to buy a win Bloomberg-style in the South Carolina Democratic primary, issued a stark warning at the beginning of the Democratic debate Friday night in New Hampshire:

That White Guilt thing gave us a weaponized FBI, IRS and DOJ plus a lot of dead cops and further division in America.

We never stop hearing the words - referencing Trump, "He's not presidential". Who sets the standard for what's presidential? You have to smile, sometimes, at those who think they know.

Proving once again that the only person running who is actually a true uniter is President Donald J. Trump.

Something that dems have proven themselves good at is extremism. They have become extremely extreme. In doing do, to many people, they have also become absurd. As many avenues of attack have been closed to them because of Trump's successes, they have been forced into a smaller and smaller circle of complaint. To have effect they have ramped up their assault within that circle to the level of irrationality. America is NOT systematically racist, PERIOD. Have all minorities encountered INCIDENTS of REAL racism? That may be possible but is less likely with every generation. Do almost all people face incidents of unfairness and difficulty? I think so. We can grow from such challenges. The question is, how many today face systematic, continual assaults of this type? I suspect few.
The dems are going with one of the few options of attack open to them but are hyping it to ridiculousness. Accusing me, as a voter, of supporting systemic racism is not the way to get my vote. Even many Blacks are having a hard time swallowing this.
But that's OK, I don't mind if dems walk off a cliff.

By the contemporary radical definition of the term, we are all "racists", including those who point the longest fingers.

Normal Americans are becoming so sick of the word "racist". It has become a polemic term that is used as a bludgeon with no proof ever required. It is come to the point where every time someone uses the word "racist" we should look far away and say "That parrot is dead!"

The Dimokkkrap party fits the description. It was founded on preserving slavery. Every dim politician is racist to the core.

Their whole agenda is based of using the race card. And, lets, where did that start. Oh, yea, it started with our first racist president, Barack Hussein Obama. Remember, in every speech that he gave and in all of his speeches in other countries he trashed America for being racist. Compare that to when Trump gives a speech in a foreign. Trump praises our country and talks about its greatness and how we can make it better. Not through race or special interest groups, but through working in a better economy that will provide all the benefits needed for a better life. That includes minority communities. Democrats don't have one positive thing to say about our country and not one thing on their agenda benefits our citizens. Got it.

Why doesn't anyone listening to their bunk bother to ask them; "If this country is such a racist hellhole why do people immigrate here from Africa and the West Indies, while practically nobody immigrates from the US to any majority black countries in Africa and the West Indies?"

Understand that a very large democrat voter block is not interested in seeking information about the social and political world around them. They lack the understanding of any complex issue and then depend on the
democrat party, through their media partners (CNN, MSNBC, NYTines, WaPo, etc.), to repeatedly tell them something very simple that they can remember and repeat. This is basic rote memory--you don't have to understand it, just repeat it when you need to. Some common democrat rote words and phrases in addition to "racist" are: "threat to the constitution", "working for Putin", "Trump is dumb" and "divisive" to name some of the most common.

John Podhoretz is one of the original National Review “Against Trump” manifesto writers. He missed the revolution.

There are many countries around the world which are majority race of one race or another, but there is one country, ours, which has proven to be the most welcoming to the greatest variety of non-white races, AND just about every ethnic group, too. They come for the freedom of opportunity to pursue their dreams and improve their lives, their future. In this real melting pot, our fellow citizens make life better for more people than anywhere else in the world. And have made life better for people around the world, too. Ignorant dems like to blame the world's troubles on the USA. Hardly sinless ourselves, we have, however, paid for the sins and crimes of more people around the world than we have ever caused.
As someone commented above, to what country does just about everyone want to emigrate? Certainly not a racist country!
President Trump has a golden opportunity to fully, once and for all, dispel the myth of the USA being a "racist from top to bottom." Because we are fallible beings, there have been and always will be some people who act out on their biases, and this is not limited to white Anglo-Saxons. India had a strict caste system (read somewhere recently that some people still hold to that). The civil war in Rwanda was between two groups: Hutus, identifiable by their shorter, stouter physique, and the Tutsis, taller and thinner. They slaughtered nearly 800,000 of each other. In some cases it's better to be lighter, in others darker is better, or it's the nose, or... ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
So we struggle against the tendency to judge based on superficialities, and why a meritocracy is much fairer than judging by class or political affiliation or ethnicity or race. We keep striving for that better way.
But for the Dem/Left to be ripping at that wound, this in my mind is one of the most hideous and despicable characteristics THEY share. It's ugly, it's a heinous lie. I love my fellow citizens, if they love our country, I don't care what color their skin or from whence they came. That's why when you see a gathering of Patriots, it's a joyous occasion, because love of country is celebrated and that is the most important characteristic we share.
FIE! on those race-mongering dems, those brewers of hate.

Hey John, Trump never said the people in America weren't great he said the country wasn't being run like a great and powerful country any longer. And boy was he right! Don't mischaracterize what Trump was saying, we all knew he wasn't talking about us he was talking about the poor leadership we have had for decades. Oh, we got presidential and we also got screwed.

You DO know why they're doing this? Trump is making major inroads with black voters. But The Dems are none too bright. They're using the same old tired playbook of America = Racist. Intelligent blacks have heard enough of this. They're much smarter than the Dems.

You DO know why the Dems are doing this right? It's because Trump is makinf inroads to gaining black voters. Unfortunately dms only know the old playbook which is "America is Racist". Blacks are smarter than that. Too bad Dems haven't caught on yet.
