What's this?

Sorry my man, but this screams for a good " whatabout"

An ardent Trump supporter complaining about a pres candidate exploiting a culturally divisive event? Now that truly takes a set of canastas!

Perhaps the thing that eliminated whatever tiny chance there ever was that I'd vote for Trump in 2020 was his equivocation on Cville (as I saw it - not looking to reopen that debate, just making a point), so for people in my shoes, seeing the presumptive frontrunner (or close) present a stark contrast to the oval office's response to that day is not exploitation. It's a good sign about the potential return of moral decency to the Oval Office.

Quite the opposite - it highlights an important reason to oppose Trump. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/25/2019 3:10PM

Klobuchar, Hickenlooper, and even Mayor Pete fit that lane as well as far -- Hoodafan 04/25/2019 09:47AM
