Killary really offended millions and not just repubs, with the deplorables and irredeemables remark. as a career politician of 25+ years she should know better. it is well known, that in a campaign, you and your opponent can insult and call each other names all you want. but doing that to the voters can be career suicide.

Agree.
Enough years of Clintons.
And if anybody thinks they cared one bit more about African Americans than anyone else, well that is just the Democrat legacy which has run its course and no longer applies.
My dad was a "yellow-dog Democrat", meaning [in case y'all hadn't heard] he would vote for a 'yellow dog' as long as it was on the Democrat ticket. Once I asked him why he would vote for candidates who are for giving money to people who have no intention of working for a living despite being able bodied. He said "somebody has to do it." That is the Democrat legacy, how the parties were viewed and still are to some degree.
Democrats = welfare, food stamps, money for each illegitimate child.
Republicans = no welfare. Self-responsibility.
The lines of both have become blurred, secondary to politicians appeasing their big money constituents, not middle America.
Welfare? Immigration? Foreign affairs? Support for countries that hate us?
All blurred because there are pros and cons for each.
- Welfare-FDR started it to fix the depression, good cause at the time. Now bloated and abused, fraught with fraud.
- Immigration? Our country is a melting pot of great immigrants. Wasn't everyone an immigrant at some point? Now it is a melting pot of drugs and crime, not all due to immigrants, but with mobility much easier, uncontrolled. Illegals use the ER, get care that working people pay for with skyrocketing insurance premiums.
- Foreign affairs/money to our enemies? Who can figure this out? But no doubt career politicians figure it out and profit from it. How does middle America come out on billions sent to countries that hate us, while a hospital can't afford to hire another nurse (the CEO earns millions, though); same with welfare fraud. Is any of that money recovered and put back into circulation for middle WORKING America?
Yes, folks are sick of the status quo. Rant over. Thanks.
