In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: White People Don't Know What It's Like To Live 'In The Ghetto' [View all]Wash. state Desk Jet
(3,426 posts)45. Yes Big Dog, The Donald Here !

I am a firm believer in his right to try to remain relevant, I said the same thing to Jeb Bush ,Chris Christie ,Dr. Ben ,Little Marco
and even that lier Ted Cruz. Beyond that I sent a certified memo to Mit Romney telling him the same thing. Although I must admit I did mention as a firm believer in second chances ,He should simply go away and at the very least try to face the fact he is a two time loser .
I think he cannot except the fact that he brought it all down on himself. I believe Romney, Bush, Christie ,Rubio and Cruz all have that problem in common.
I see your source of information ,and as you must know, what it says here is very different from what it says in the media .
Certainly you don't think I the Donald wake up at the crack of dawn than look to the media to find out where I stand in running do you ? Of course not because you see it's all down in what it says here.
But that's the political ends of the entertainment !
I have some incredibly huge and I mean enormous fish to fry on the Jersey shores. I think Rush Limbaugh and Chris Christie will be great entertainment in a smash hit idea I have cooking - In your face, facing off on the Jersey Shores ,we will create an enormous out door walk in closet with only three walls so the audience can look into the face off.
The walk in closet is so Rush doesn't feel totally exposed ! It will all come down to the nature of the beast ! And by it those political hacks in both houses, republican of course, can all have a good look at what they came to worship ,along with the rest of the nation ! The idea behind the scenes of course is the people fire them all .
Of course you must know Rush Limbaugh disrespected my campaign . He's as much or even more of a disgrace as Chris Christie is. The two of them deserve each other !

Racism has to be carefully taught at a young age and reinforced by the prevailing society.

Yep. Which is why I say white folk can stop it any time they want to. And they are the only ones.
