While I would likely enjoy yellow cat fishing with you, believe you have a good heart, and your psyche does pique my scientific interest…I think it is an established fact that you have a screw loose.

I live in reality and you live in la la land.

Who would have guessed. Lane and Blueduck have traced all the nation's problems back to a black man. Would have been bonus points if the root of all evil would have also been homosexual or better yet transgender.

Truth is Trump was far more divisive than Obama and left the country much more fragmented and divided. The fact that anyone could suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

Well, I appreciate your saying decent things about me.

You do that from time to time, and I haven't responded.

I too think you are a decent person and have a good heart. That's the only reason I figure it's worth bantering with you.

We differ on so much fundamentally that it's a good contrast.

But, I'm sure that we have common ground too.

0bama is the disease…Trump is a symptom of the disease.

I agree Trump, while putting forth much of the correct policy, was the wrong personality for the job. Hence forth, I will work and vote against him in the Primary process. His divisional traits however, are almost all superficial.

0bama on the other hand set in motion a division that cuts at the very heart and soul of what America is and truth be told…just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg…he despises the strength and content of our Constitution.

0bama set in motion the rot that is that maybe our Constitution should go. A rot that creeps and searches for that one domino that maybe it can set into motion. A rot that seeks to first destroy and then to transform the USA into a communist-type state.

Agreed and appreciated ME. (just not Bud Light )

I just buy it as a small token to counter the boycott, which is obviously part of the culture war waged by the right.

The problem with Obama is not the color of his skin. If you want to play that way then whites can equally claim him since he is half white. So don't. The problem with Obama was the aim and agenda of his administration (see: "fundamental transformation" speech) which means the problems with Obama were his intent and his policies. You see everything through the prism of race and in this case it is properly viewed through the prism of policy. Nothing more.

I looked some of his speeches and remember hearing some of them at the time, and had no problem with them. I figured they were generally wholesome. No cringe.

OTOH, I have problems with all Trump's speeches, and any time he opens his mouth, tweets, etc. Trump is very skin-crawling cringeworthy.

Such a shame. Voting should be a positive thing.

Lane, I find it impossible, really, to understand how anyone could not find Trump's voice, mannerisms, messages, tone, everything about him, cringeworthy and creepy.

But it is interesting that some people don't feel that way. It says something, but I'm not sure what.

I know a lot of people. Talk to the public daily. I know of no one personally who feels that way.
