    Great. Now could you have known that if she hadn't said it? No. That's the point.

    What exactly is the point? That their opinion is irrelevant because they "look" white? Why is their skin color relevant anyway? I thought it was considered inappropriate to judge a person's words based on their skin color. Had you said "a panel of Republicans that doesn't think that the Leader of the Republican party is racist", I would probably think you might have a point. As it was, you made it racist AND sexist.

    Why? They are all women, correct? How is pointing out a visible fact sexist?

    And the point is that Racism is about the appearance of an individual, not the internal content of the individual. So asking people, who have little to no experience of the effects of racism, whether or not remarks by someone they have a bias towards, is racist, isn't exactly a 'deep investigative dive'.

    You mean the panel of GOP women? Hmm, so you are attacking CNN for reporting that women of the GOP party, in their own words, are defending Trump. And you still think your news network is "fair and balanced?" Good Lord.

    Context is key. To say go back to where you came from and mean New York is different than telling a US citizen to return to their ethnic country of origin. If we all did that, NONE of us would be left in this country. But that's not the context of Kamala's words. So it's different. Should she say it? No, because that's stooping to yours and Trump's level, but it's not the same and you can play dumb or be dumb about it but most of us can recognize context.

    I would advise Trump to get him a remote ranch when he leaves office, not go back to NY but enjoy life a little.

    All pollsters are part of the corrupt bipartisan ruling political class that despises the anti-establishment Donald Trump. To avoid more election day surprises always add at least 10 points to Trump's positive numbers to adjust for polling bias and the polling blind spot.
    I hope that helps. :)

    "The national survey, conducted on Monday and Tuesday after Trump told the lawmakers they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” showed his net approval among members of his Republican Party rose by 5 percentage points to 72%, compared with a similar poll that ran last week. ...

    Trump’s overall approval remained unchanged over the past week."

    Nothing can beat that old Hutton spread in Palm Beach, and New Yorkers will love Trump - after he leaves office. He might also want to run for mayor for a little R&R. ;-)

    Kamala Harris said Trump needs to go back to where he came from
    https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/07/16/kamala-harris-trump-racist-tweets-lah-ebof-vpx.cnn
    3:48 in the clip.
    (sorry to be posting a known fake news website, but this appears to be legit)

    I'd literally fall off my chair laughing if mitch mcconnell decided to condemn her remarks and put it to a vote.

    The ladies made great points, why is the only black billionaire supporting Trump? Must be a racist too.

    Do doubt those with TDS who pushed the Russia collusion fairy tale for two years think Trump's statements were racist. Normal Americans, not so much.

    You just discounted this group's opinion? How "progressive" of you. You are jamming your fingers and screaming "I'm not listening!"

    When it comes to the THE IDENTITY POLITICS-OBSESSED LEFT: Democrats One Hundred Percent Wrong about Racism.

    The race obsession on the Left is beyond belief and convincing no one of anything other than that the Leftwing mouth pieces are speaking utter insanity.

    I'm a racist. You're a racist. Donald Trump's a racist. Nancy Pelosi was a racist until she attacked Trump for racism. Your neighbor's a racist. Your insurance broker's a racist. Your dentist's a racist as well as your periodontist. All white males are racist. Some white females are racists, especially those married to white males. Everywhere a racist.​

    Never mind that many of those people have no history of racism. It doesn't matter. Never mind, they owe reparations for slavery. It's all about racism—ours.

    The Dems' presidential campaigns are based around proving the other man or woman is more of a racist and vice versa, even by pretending to be a race you weren't. And don't you dare criticize Ilhan Omar or you're a triple-racist even if her ideas are more racist than anyone else's. Got it?

    Where do you see this going? How do you see these ridiculous attacks on the American People advancing your cause? And just what the hell is your cause?

    Yes, I listened. And then I dismissed. If you can't understand the concept of Bias, then your never going to get this particular point.

    And yeah, a lot of the calls for racism are overblown. But a lot of them are on target, and those targeted hide behind the cover of those who overblow it. Saying to someone 'go back to where you came from' against a person who is the minority in that area, is racist. It has been for decades, and the fact that a lot of people seem to want to pretend it never was is straight up gaslighting.

    Finally, I'm Canadian. My cause is for America to stop being such a big dumpster fire and get its ass back on the back end rather then at the top.

    I never said that.

    So don't play that Lame BS Game of making an epically failed attempt to put words in my mouth.

    Of course, Women (as a General Rule) are worthy of being taken seriously.

    Just NOT these women in this thread.

    The DP has always been the party of institutional racism in America. Of course, most Democrats are not racists. The problem with the DP is its rotten head - its leaders.

    I despise Donald Trump for reasons completely my own and have nothing to do with pollsters. Mostly, it has to do with him being an orange turd.

    I try to think.

    Polling about issues and where Trump stands is pretty vanilla. He comes across in his natural state as being more moderate than the Tea party or libertarians, and yet he goes right because he knows he gets easy applause for doing so from extremists that he wouldn't agree with or live like in his own life. So really for me it comes down to I don't trust that he cares about America. I never felt that way with past presidents I disagreed with on issues. But I don't trust him with it, hence my conclusion about his orange turdiness.

    Trump has always been very anti-establishment, and pro-America.
    The pro-America thing is easy for very successful rich people.
    The anti-establishmentarianism he has always expressed is rare, and accounts for much of his bipartisan political support.

    You have the most corrupt administration in Canada in the last 50 years and you are casting stones at America? Perhaps you should pay more attention to the thieves that are running your own country.
