All I could figure is that more people than I care to acknowledge are just stone cold racists, and they were willing to overlook the obvious about Trump so long as he was bashing people of color.

someone screams at a country to break into his opponent's emails to find dirt, on national TV, at a press conference including, you know, PRESS it is easy to believe that person is engaging in nefarious activity. I have to wonder how feckless our system is that someone who did that was not frog marched then and there.

good word... feckless

I wake every morning incredibly flummoxed as to why we allow a mentally unstable and dangerous person play President

I am seriously concerned about the wellbeing and future of our Country
