22. The BBC sent one of their reporters to Racine, Wisconsin, recently, broadcast the report this week

Wed Dec 18, 2019, 07:47 AM

Dec 2019

There were only interviews with a few European-American (to coin a phrase) women shown. While there were a couple of them that said trump deserved everything coming to him and more, there was interview with the local chapter of "Republican women of Wisconsin." It was in a comfortably appointed living room, with three middle-aged white women who had identical frowns on their faces, angrily declaring their opinion that Trump was the greatest president of their lifetimes.

Right. For them, the world ends 100 meters from their front doors.

No, 2/3's did not vote for DT. 42% did not vote. 58Sunliner Dec 2019 #98

And you don't think voters are a representation of the whole? brush Dec 2019 #99
