What is Trump's plan?

Well, at least part of his plan is control the number of taxpayer supported terrorists immigrating here vs. Hillary Clinton putting out the welcome mat for them.

Don't worry, she will change her position once she figures it is not a position that is tenable given the environment. After she changes her position she will insist that was her position all along - it is her MO.

Surprisingly Hillary phoned in to Bill Oreilly tonight. And she sounds a lot like Trump - calling reforming Nato, using the term radical Jihadist, etc.

She's onto the "let's come to the center" stategy. Enjoy it for the moment. It won't last long.

Beyond the animosity between Republicans and Democrats, we see it between rich and poor and black and white, too. Racial tensions have not been this bad since the 1960s. Class warfare is palatable. And unfortunately, I do not see that either Trump or Clinton will turn things around.

JMHO.

Racial tensions were bad in 1960s BECAUSE the whites cant digest the blacks will eat with them in restaurants, study with their kids in schools, and travel with them in buses,trains and flights. They just couldn't fathom that the previous slaves are now equals.

Racial tensions are bad since Obama took over as president, because the same whites who couldn't agree with civil rights couldn't digest a Black man(even though he was 50% white) and his black family gets to be in the "White" house. And some of the White senators and representatives worked so hard to ensure that the black man's legacy is tarnished by blocking everything against the interests of their own poor white voter. LBJ is so right about how to get to make the poor white guy to vote against his own interests.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Lyndon Johnson.

Oh, please. It is precisely this type of thinking that has caused a deterioration of our society.
I couldn’t care less WHAT color Obama is. But, I do care about his policies and his promises.
I didn’t like where he planned to take this country. I didn’t like his concept of “fundamental transformation.”
I haven’t agreed with most of what he has done. But, it isn’t because of his color. It is all about his policies.
Get off the “race horse.”

Agree. I would be all over having a black conservative President. Does the PP think only black votes got Ben Carson that far in the primary season?

How far? He didn't win any state or was even second in any state. The racist voters wont even vote for hispanic guys cruz/rubio even though each one of them were functionally white. Guess what happened, no one could race bait the white voters like Drumpf. That is the voter base of the republican party. Nobody said(even though Drumpf never meant it) they would build a wall to keep out the brown people. Nobody but Drumpf said they will ban the entry of muslims or ban trade with china. So we know which party is the base for racists.

While you're complaining about whites feeling do superior to blacks, you might consider not calling Trump by a name intended as a put-down.

Also, the case of Zika in Texas where the mother came to the US sick in her third trimester won't help either. I am not judging these women. I feel badly for them and their babies but this is the kind of news that makes people panic and when they are panicking they choose Trump.

What about Hillary? Anything?

9 pages on a poll? Did 2000 teach you nothing? 270 is all that matters. The general population polls are useless in electoral strategy. Close polls only generate fodder and news bytes.

Drumpf is his family name, not Trump. Are you ashamed of his German ancestry, if he is called by his proper german last name?

Proper? Who are you to determine another person's "proper" name? You may choose your "proper" name, but not anyone else's... except your children's... until their 18th birthday. Sorry.

So racial tensions are completely the fault of white racists? Nothing the blacks have done is a factor at all? Attitudes like yours simply fan the flames.

Yep, racism is pretty much the fault of white people. This isn't one of those things that everyone's equally to blame for.

Nope. Just pointing out that you complain about how whites act like they're better than blacks at the same time you insult someone else with a piut-down.

We see the results not only in the harsh discourse between Republicans and Democrats, but in actual events. The IRS is a good example. I doubt that Obama directed the commissioner to delay approval for conservative groups, and thereby suppress their voice, but he did set such a negative environment - even referring to Republicans as "enemies" - that the IRS leaders felt comfortable doing what they did.

Beyond the animosity between Republicans and Democrats, we see it between rich and poor and black and white, too. Racial tensions have not been this bad since the 1960s. Class warfare is palatable. And unfortunately, I do not see that either Trump or Clinton will turn things around.

JMHO.

Racial tensions were bad in 1960s BECAUSE the whites cant digest the blacks will eat with them in restaurants, study with their kids in schools, and travel with them in buses,trains and flights. They just couldn't fathom that the previous slaves are now equals.

Racial tensions are bad since Obama took over as president, because the same whites who couldn't agree with civil rights couldn't digest a Black man(even though he was 50% white) and his black family gets to be in the "White" house. And some of the White senators and representatives worked so hard to ensure that the black man's legacy is tarnished by blocking everything against the interests of their own poor white voter. LBJ is so right about how to get to make the poor white guy to vote against his own interests.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Lyndon Johnson.

Oh, please. It is precisely this type of thinking that has caused a deterioration of our society.
I couldn’t care less WHAT color Obama is. But, I do care about his policies and his promises.
I didn’t like where he planned to take this country. I didn’t like his concept of “fundamental transformation.”
I haven’t agreed with most of what he has done. But, it isn’t because of his color. It is all about his policies.
Get off the “race horse.”

Agree. I would be all over having a black conservative President. Does the PP think only black votes got Ben Carson that far in the primary season?

How far? He didn't win any state or was even second in any state. The racist voters wont even vote for hispanic guys cruz/rubio even though each one of them were functionally white. Guess what happened, no one could race bait the white voters like Drumpf. That is the voter base of the republican party. Nobody said(even though Drumpf never meant it) they would build a wall to keep out the brown people. Nobody but Drumpf said they will ban the entry of muslims or ban trade with china. So we know which party is the base for racists.

While you're complaining about whites feeling do superior to blacks, you might consider not calling Trump by a name intended as a put-down.

Drumpf is his family name, not Trump. Are you ashamed of his German ancestry, if he is called by his proper german last name?

He no longer uses that name. Your use of it is intended as a put-down, and you know it.

So what? You're trying to draw some equivalence between that and racism? Get a clue.

Nope. Just pointing out that you complain about how whites act like they're better than blacks at the same time you insult someone else with a piut-down.

I am sorry, now are you saying you can read my mind? How is calling someone by their real last name a put down? How is this even close to whites acting as if they are better than blacks(which is true racism)? Please explain.

So racial tensions are completely the fault of white racists? Nothing the blacks have done is a factor at all? Attitudes like yours simply fan the flames.

Yep, racism is pretty much the fault of white people. This isn't one of those things that everyone's equally to blame for.

The poster did not ask if the blame for racism was equal. She asked if you feel the racial tension -something different - is entirely white people's fault, or if possibly....maybe.....blacks have contributed to them in any way. Until blacks can acknowledge even a tiny bit of culpability, things won't improve. So I'll ask: 100% white people's fault for racial tension, or not?

So basically you are trying to hijack the thread that somehow calling Trump Drumpf is a bigger issue than the rest of the post about why Carson/rubio/cruz were not elected by the racist GOP base.
