How's that work??!?!?!?calls baltimore a sh—hole. Libs lose their collective mind despite it being 100% factual
When’s the last time you went to Baltimore?How's that work??!?!?!?
Last I checked, Baltimore is part of the United States that Trump governs as President. Doesn't that make it HIS shithole???!!?!?
Ive been in Baltimore seven times in the past three months. Now I rarely stay in “Baltimore” because it is a shit hole. Yes the “city of Baltimore “ is dangerous, nasty and disgusting. Everything Trump said about Baltimore has been said recently by people like Bernie Sanders as well as news outlets like WAPO, CNN and the BBC. Now go north to the Roland Park area and it’s very nice as is a small part of downtown, but the parts Trump is talking about you have not visited. I drove through once in broad daylight and I felt like I was driving through a third world country.When’s the last time you went to Baltimore?
That said I’m there damn near every month. Overpaid greatly for a steak at Gordon Ramsey’s in the casino downtown last week and then dropped another $300 on slots before I had enough. There’s plenty to like about Bodymore that isn’t a shithole. But... there are a lot of places that are almost identical to the south side of Chicago neighborhoods except dirtier. Trump is over exaggerating but he has a point. Elijah Cummings is way too focused on national politics and way too lazy in leading his own communities.

My work used to take me to Baltimore a lot. I’m a big fan of the inner harbor and a summer evening at Orioles Park at Camden Yards is sweet if you’re an old school baseball guy.When’s the last time you went to Baltimore?

I just don’t see the value for a President to play ‘red’ and ‘blue’ games with cities or regions and divide us all further. I saw a CNN announcer get emotional on the air about it because he grew up in Cumming’s district. And wouldn’t you if the President described your home town in such a demeaning way?

That is not how it works. Why do they have offices in their district? Why do they get six weeks off this time of year? They are there to represent their constituents and focus federal issues and funding to their districts.He is in the U.S. House of Representatives. If he isn't focused on national politics, he quite simply isn't doing his job. I think the mayors and city council members and even state government is far more to blame then Cummings. But also, his district also includes almost all of Howard Co which has a median household income of over $115k, making it top 5 in the country for highest median income. So if he gets blame for the problems in Baltimore for being lazy in not leading his own communities, does he get credit for Howard co?
Also, calling Elijah Cummings lazy is ridiculous to begin with.

lol we had the last DNC Candidate for President describe all Republicans as "deplorables" and the last Democratic President described Republicans as people who "cling" to their bibles and guns because they're so scared of the super awesome progressive city centers that look a lot different from where they come from.
But yes, it'd be terrible if a President or Nominee were stoking biases on a partisan basis based upon assumptions about where those people live and where they're from.
Hillary's deplorable comment was a poor choice, but you are also mischaracterizing it. She did not call all Republicans deplorable, she said about half of Trump supporters were deplorable. She was talking about the alt-right people. I agree it was a stupid thing to say, but you aren't being accurate.
LOL
So there are 31M “alt right people” in this country? And that’s what makes her words contextually OK?
You’re trying to spin this for her by assigning the alt right to 31M people but that’s not going to work
Did you not read where I said it was a stupid thing to say? How do you interpret that into I was saying it was ok?
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”
That is the literal quote, that you have somehow interpreted into meaning all Republicans.
You insisted she was referring to the alt right. I pointed out that there are not 31M “alt right people” in this country.
Splitting hairs. It was still 20-25% of the country, and -- more importantly -- still alienated some 40-45% of the country.The quote was made on 9/9/2016, almost 2 months before the election. So the 31 million number you are throwing out is meaningless. She even said the next day she shouldn't have said "half". At the time she made that statement, Trump wasn't overly popular with Republicans. Again, it was a stupid thing for her to say, but she was talking about the alt right, not all Republicans like you claimed.
Splitting hairs. It was still 20-25% of the country, and -- more importantly -- still alienated some 40-45% of the country.
Romney had the exact same effect with the 47% argument -- alienating a good 40-45% of the country that identified as needing services.
BullThey didn't alienate 40-45% of the country, but yes, they were stupid things to say.
cubs is terrible at math. trump got almost 63m votes. divide that in half and you get 31m deplorables...You insisted she was referring to the alt right. I pointed out that there are not 31M “alt right people” in this country.
Bull
Even I was alienated, and I didn't vote Trump! But I don't know of a single Trump voter who wasn't alienated. Seriously, understand what it did.
I mean, if you're Clinton ... what do you say, "Oh, I meant the 'other half' of the Trump voters." If anything, you just proved the problem with Progressivism in the US -- under-estimating how much people are insulted.
We all know -- from the US media -- how much Trump insults others. No argument, he does it constantly. But a lot of people like Trump because the US Media is in such denial of how much they insult others.
AoC and Omar are perfect examples, they insult people far, far more than Pelosi, yet if you watch the US Media, you'd think it's far less, and Pelosi is the one on the left that upsets Americans the most -- although far less than Trump according to the US Media, of course.
^^^ If you don't understand that, re-read it! Seriously, let it sink in.

wait, so trump had already won the gop primary? and then he went on to get 62m votes just 2 months later?Her comment was 2 months before the election genius, at that time he had exactly 0 votes, not 62 million. You are also conflating voters with supporters. Plenty of people voted for Trump because they didn't like Hillary, and vice versa. The lesser of two evils voters are hardly what I would consider supporters.

Who runs the district? Elijah, for 3 decades. Trump is merely pointing out that every US shi—-hole is run by your hero leftiesHow's that work??!?!?!?

It's absolutely amazing that every US sh*thole is run by lefties. I've visited some...um, 'interesting' areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia, and SW Virginia that I would have described as real sh*tholes if they weren't run by Conservative Republicans.Who runs the district?

Ummm, they heavily tend to be Democratic voting in those areas, especially with high crime rates, even if the rural or suburban areas of lower middle class and farm areas push the area to overall Republican.Yeah, there are no run down places in conservative areas in Appalachia or the deep south.
Either way your point is nonsense. There's a tiny, tiny number of people in this country who are "alt right", whatever the hell that even is. It's mostly a phrase that the media tossed around as a way to scare monger about people who voted for Trump as they attempted to cope with losing in 2016.
Unless your prepared to tell me it was possible for Trump to get like 4M votes total so we can guess that Hillary was referring to the 2M "alt right" deplorables.

But it's a popular viewpoint in the US media.Either way your point is nonsense.
A quarter of the country is merely conservative, not full blown alt-right. I've pegged it about 3% that could be considered "alt right."There's a tiny, tiny number of people in this country who are "alt right", whatever the hell that even is.
We're all racists these days, even those of us who didn't vote Trump, and still won't vote him in 2020 -- I would buy his straws though, funny enough.It's mostly a phrase that the media tossed around as a way to scare monger about people who voted for Trump as they attempted to cope with losing in 2016.

Yes, look at the metropolitan and county specifics.Umm, no they don't. Are you seriously trying to tell me poor rural areas in the south and in Appalachia are blue?
