1. Big fan of this guy, cant wait to hear what Steve Kerr says, he is a known liberal

2. He's amazing.

We need to push the racist rhetoric back out of the mainstream where it used to be and still belongs.

3. Good question

where is the line of people who voted for Trump? do they even have a line?

Trump said he could literally shoot someone and not lose supporters. If he is right then we may as well be living in Nazi Germany. There is no line, only absolute loyalty to the Dear Leader no matter what.

5. Powerful

I've always been a fan, he's been up front about stuff for awhile. Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen it.

Peace

6. He's been great throughout the trump ordeal. He's a real leader.

The contrast between him and the charlatan could not be more clear. He's everything that trump is not. He is someone who has served his country (as a veteran and in other ways). He is thoughtful and intelligent. He has class. He is a leader. He's everything trump would like to be but never will get close to. And then some.
