Seems bad.

Mikwut - What's the difference between this and when Elizabeth Warren voted for border fencing in the immigration reform compromise package of 2013? Are you saying she's racist too?

Speaking of honesty, why are you calling it a border wall when it was just a fence? Are you dishonest or just not smart enough to know the difference?

Trump's wall promised to be big and beautiful and cover the entire border on a campaign trail that built its entire premise on getting Americans to hate and fear Mexicans.

Mikwut, what do you think Elizabeth Warren has been dishonest about? Or is it that you dislike her being honest about things that make you uneasy? It is for certain that Trump and the current Republican leadership are greatly discomfited by and hate her for her honesty!

You may be referring to a comment that I made a few days back when I asked how Trump’s rhetoric would sound about such an event. I’d bet that he would refer to it in gentler, more favorable terms, as about how great the US is that everyone wants to be here ... as opposed to calling those Canadians an invasion, or horde of rapists and criminals, or drug smugglers.

The question to you would be why that difference would exist.

And still you won’t answer the straightforward question of whether or not you believe that Trump’s rhetoric is capable of stoking racial tension and sentiment amongst his Base.

It’s interesting that the fellow she would run against isn’t characterized by mikwut as ‘dishonest’ right at the outset. There could not be a better example of a dishonest politician than a man who has to lie about virtually every little thing, and has done so since the first hours after being sworn in.

Hi Gunnar,

I have stated several times I did not vote for Trump and I am not voting for Trump in 2020. I have simply stated he is not a white supremacist. So why are you impliedly demanding I defend Trump when I criticize Elizabeth Warren? I stated I like her but have a few problems, honesty being one of them. I don't need to juxtapose that criticism to a president I didn't vote for and am not voting for. I can just make the criticism. She has apologized for her tribal affiliation confusion she created and I take that into account. We each need to decide for ourselves what her motive was for this. I am troubled by it, but like I said I like her policies.

My point was what makes one racist and the other not-racist not whether one is thicker or higher.
