Trump’s actually trying to unify the country. Just the latest example: when was the last time anyone in the GOP made a serious appeal to inner-city blacks?

It’s dems, liberals, RINO cronies and their partners in crime doing the dividing.

This country can’t continue as half-slave (those who pay into the government treasury) and half-free (those who merely consume) indefinitely.

“Actually, I’d be down for Civil War if that happened.”

War’s already upon us. It’s just a “cold” one for now.

Why do they put up with a junior Senator who supports Hillary then?

And the Chronicle endorsed the Hildabeast for President one second after she was crowned Queen at the DNC Convention in Philly.

The Chronicle doesn't mind the fact that Texas thinks 180* different from the sleazy rag.

“Trump’s actually trying to unify the country”

BS. This is beyond reconciliation now. Some idiot from Africa tried for 8 years and look what we got.

At first, I missed the “who support Trump” qualifier. I wish 3 out of 5 Americans AS A WHOLE would favor breaking up the country rather than enduring even more of what we have suffered these past few years.

The very last thing O wanted to do was unify ( And this strengthen) America. Quite the contrary.

The latest poll said Trump is leading in TX only by 6 points. There are many Texans solidly for Mrs. Bill, but is it enough?

3 of 5 Texans favor secession yet the poll linked below says Trump leads Texas by only 6 points. What gives?
