It should be noted that House Minority Leader coined the phrase while attacking the Republican party back in 2006.

If it’s racist to want to send corrupt leaders packing then count me in - I’m a racist.

“Drain the swamp” comes from the actual problems emanating from a swamp that caused people to drain real swamps.

Great Black Swamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (June 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

View from a ridge near Benton Ridge, Ohio, which demarks the edge of the former Great Black Swamp.

The ridge was formed at the southern shore of the ancient lake. In the distance, a completely flat expanse of agricultural land extends to the horizon. In the foreground a ditch used to drain the swamp is visible.[1][2]
The Great Black Swamp (also known simply as the Black Swamp), was a glacially fed wetland in northwest Ohio and extreme northeast Indiana, United States, that existed from the end of the Wisconsin glaciation until the late 19th century. Comprising extensive swamps and marshes, with some higher, drier ground interspersed, it occupied what was formerly the southwestern part of proglacial Lake Maumee, a holocene precursor to Lake Erie. The area was about 25 miles (40 km) wide (north to south) and 100 miles (160 km) long, covering an estimated 1,500 square miles (4,000 km2).[3] Gradually drained and settled in the second half of the 19th century, it is now highly productive farm land. During the second half of the 20th century, efforts were undertaken to preserve and restore portions of the swamp to its pre-settlement state.

Not only that, but it’s a Reagan quote from 1982.

“It’s hard to remember when you’re up to your armpits in alligators that you came here to drain the swamp.”

The crazy leftist fascist media is on full on war. Time to stand firm with President Elect Trump. It will be war 24/7 with lies and misrepresented reports by the fascist media.

And you thought the election was tough.

The crazy leftists fascist do not want the policies that we the people and Trump want.

Racism, the catchall answer to everything.

Vapid.

“Drain the Swamp” is an arrow pointed almost exclusively at white men.

No, no. I think they’re confusing “drain the swamp” with “clean out the watermelon patch”.

Ah, yes, the SPLC. There once was big money in witch-finding, too, and it is amazing how the numbers of witches proliferated once it got started. So too with the SPLC. If racism isn’t there, they find it anyway because it fills the pocketbook. Anyone who owns a bed sheet, for example, is only two eye-holes short of the KKK. And so it goes.

Anyone who consistently interprets their view of the world in terms of racial perspectives and implications is a racist.......
