[N. Theknow]

Donald Trump...speaking loudly and swinging a bigger stick.

BOOM!

[Teacher317]

Hillary won by 3 million votes... and by 14 million votes in the top 100 most populous counties. (Trump won by 11 million in the "left-over" 3,041 counties.)

I wonder how many of those most-populous counties are "sanctuary cities", and what her lead was in those counties alone. Hmmmm....

[SMGFan]

Has he ever marched through Atlanta protesting black crime and violence? How about marching from Chicago to Atlanta? HA!

[Triple]

Does Lewis have the areas where the crime is so bad the post office doesn’t deliver the mail? There have been many such areas in Atlanta since 1986.

[ealgeone]

Yes and yes.

[Nifster]

Of course it is correct

Dems are having a harder and harder time finding anything but crime and thuggery in some areas. I note that those who could afford it moved out to Smyrna and Vinings a while ago.

[Williams]

All this obsessing over Russia is ridiculous and Republicans play their usual roles as fools and traitors.

[x1stcav]

I’m getting more for my vote for Trump than I would have ever imagined.

[Old Yeller]

John Lewis is not a legitimate U.S. Representative. After all, the U.S. Supreme Court mandated the creation by gerrymandering of majority-minority districts. He represents one of those districts so without the meddling of the U.S. Supreme Court he would likely not have been elected. By his own reasoning, he is not a legitimate U.S. Representative.

Says it all right there for every member of the Congressional Negro Caucus.

[Triple]

Nonsense- the democrat party was firmly against the civil rights movement. Don’t let the democrats rewrite history. Remember Byrd? The kkk wizard was a leading democrat for decades. He was embraced by them, including the Colin one. Check the party lines on real civil rights voting.

[BobL]

I was just saying that the Civil Rights movement had some legitimacy...nothing about the Democrats, who fought it non-stop in South.

[ilovesarah2012]

I haven’t felt this optimistic in a very long time.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump got this one right.

[Ann Archy]

Sadly John Lewis has the IQ of a moron, and should be treated as such.

[Ann Archy]

No that was Johnson....also dumb as a bag of rocks.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Trump should hold a pretty inauguration rally in Atlanta and ask that very question.

[Ann Archy]

Luckily they tell where not to get off the highway when you see “MLK Drive”!!

[Tallguy]

When Trump labels you as ‘Sad’ you can almost feel the “Thud”. It’s a rhetorical punctiation mark.
