    Remove all of the Haitians from Haiti, I predict that in one generation Haiti would become paradise.

    Deflection. I asked you a question which you can't answer. You tried the ole "sure answer this one first" with an attached distraction, and now you're trying another angle.
    No answer as to why we need more Haitians?

    If you can't list off a couple reasons, then I guess Trump is right in asking too eh?

    1. I never stated that we need to send more Haitians here. That was easy.

    2. I'm glad you concede to prior posting regarding the matter on revising quotes. Don't lie next time.

    You claimed the "worst part" is Trumps asking why we need them, and 3 times now you can't give us one reason either.
    LOL....like candy from a baby. Thanks Van Cleef.

    LMAO.....whats funny is, Tapper hasnt deleted the tweets from Twitter.

    So how do you think that makes our lefty residents look.....while riding the BMW over the Gateway Pundit sourcing what Tapper did on Twitter?

    I think even a Grade School Newspaper could even figure that one out. Why can't political leftists?

    I'm referring to the "take them out". I think it's racist. Are you suggesting I'm wrong on a subjective view/opinion?

    You're not very good at this.

    I'm glad you conveniently dropped the quote revision angle though. I wouldn't wanna get caught in something that wrong either.

    Oh I'm great at this.
    Here's your quote where you did not bold, or point out the part you're trying to pivot to now.

    Was that yours or the other VanCleef?

    Now that we have that settled, I'll give you one last chance to answer the question posed, or I'll just move on and stop wasting my time.

    By the way, you lose extra points for not knowing what racist means. "take them out" has no racial component whatsoever.

    Just trying to roll with the punches lol.

    Sure. Let's move them to California. They won't do any electoral harm (CA being a lost cause).

    So what?

    Tapper's tweets STILL confirm that Trump used the term "Sh*t hole".

    Trump's Apologists are starting to grasp for any delusional straw they can.

    Sad times to be a Trump Apologist. :smfh:

    Nah, you're very bad at this.

    1. I'm glad you conveniently dropped the quote revision angle though. I wouldn't wanna get caught in something that wrong either. This was your first post in the thread, and you dropped it like a rock. Wise, but not something that I won't stop bringing up. Own it.

    2. You asked me what I found bad about that quote, a subjective question. And I'm literally answering your question. I think the portion of that quote stating "Take them out" is racist. This is my subjective view on it. Nothing you do will make me appear objectively wrong on it (which is what you're trying to do.) You're grasping for a win here. It's not working.

    Too easy.

    Avoiding questions you can't answer sure is. It's answering them that takes the effort. Good night Van Cleef, pick your hat up off the floor buddy.

    No .. No doubt Trump said it..... he always tries to spin his own words the next day... when he realizes he used his outer voice

    He's an embarrassment to America

    I directly answered your subjective question of why I find that quote bad. There is no way you can attempt to suggest you won this argument when asking me an opinion on a quote and saying you think it is inadequate in your own opinion. That is asinine.

    I'll answer your question again: I found the portion of the quote stating "Take them out" to be racist. I'm not sure why you're confused. This isn't difficult to understand.

    Meanwhile, will you explain this post:


    You're grasping for straws. I know I've bloodied you quite a bit here over the last few months on objective arguements, but there is no reason to make up wins by asking me my opinion and then saying my opinion is wrong. That is just petty.

    That's sooooooooo easy. To our leftists skin tone is all that matters and Haitians tend to have the Politically Correct skin tone. Therefore this nation absolutely needs them just . . . because.

    We both know that wasn't the question you were avoiding, it was this one which I gave you multiple chances to answer.

    You still cannot answer it. I'm done with you on this one Van Cleef. Gave you your chances, and you simply couldn't deliver...as usual.

    This statement is "fake." Jake Tapper said that Trump referred to African countries as shthole countries, but not Haiti. His critics are correct about the remarks made by Trump. They mistakenly included Haiti in this obnoxious equation and his remarks still stink.
    Paul Ryan and John McCain have chimed in also. What a jerk.

    Did you ever personally know any Haitians?

    I have only known one.

    She was an Old Haitian Voodoo Lady who hooked me up with some Magic Potions.

    She Rocked. :salute:

    So what.....the Gateway Pundit jumped on the fact about what Tapper Tweeted.

    That's what you lefties were Bitching Moaning and Whining about. A Reality that had taken place.

    Sad times to be a leftist and not able to handle reality, huh?

    Straw Man. But I'll answer your question: I don't think we need more Haitians. Fortunatly, I've never said we need more Hatians. The portion of the quote that troubled me was "Take them out". I do find this racist and offensive.

    I'm hoping this clears things up for you, so you can stop with the fake gotcha' spam due to our past history which typically results in you losing objective debates.

    Now that we are past this, can you explain my quote revisions?

    I agree, because the next thing you know he will be talking before a hot mike to the Russians saying that after his re-election he will be able to be more flexible. The Left would absolutely hate that . . . oh wait . . . no, apparently that would be a good thing for the Left based on what Obama said some years ago.

    This thread is absolutely UPROARIOUS.

    The way that Trump's Apologists (who have been totally OWNED) just won't quit.

    Keep the laughs coming.

    It is Friday Night. Keep the Comic Relief coming.

    Thx in advance.

    Once again, carry on and keep the laughs coming. :salute:

    Defending Trump? :roflol:

    It's such a simple question isn't it? But none of them will answer it because it all comes down to feelings. They feel bad for these people living in a craphole and feel they can save them by bringing them here....or that it's our duty to do so. After years and years of this, our Nation becomes the craphole.

    If there is a real legitimate reason why Somalians, Haitians etc etc are needed here, and why we should expend the resources on them while some of our own citizens are in dire straits... then please someone spell it out.

    If they are a proven benefit to America, I'm on board.

    They just can't do it, which tells me the answer I believe it to be is the right one.
