Sowell did not achieve his success through affirmative action. And he is a real intellectual.

It is very difficult for someone who is 100% ideologically conservative to get behind Trump who is not an ideologue. Trump is a guy who takes action and gets results. He does not waste time navel gazing. If he makes a mistake in business he corrects, he adapts, he adjusts, he pivots. He will take a similar solution-oriented approach to fixing government.

“Thomas Sowell, an affirmative action pseudo-intellectual who has fallen short...”

Oh bullshit, the man grew up in Harlem, dropped out of high school to enlist in the Marines, served in the Korean War, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in ‘58, got a Master’s at Columbia a year later and a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago in ‘68, he’s taught at several universities, written 30+ books and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute of Stanford University.

“...affirmative action, pseudo-intellectual...” my ass, you knuckle walking mouth breather.

Well Sowell isn’t infallible but he’s certainly not “an affirmative action pseudo-intellectual”

For one thing he graduated cum laude from Harvard more than a decade before affirmative action reared its worthless head. He was there on his merit. And his book on Marxism alone is proof of his intellectual ability.
