    Yes, there will continue to be a need for a lot of security at the Capitol and other places for a while. Trump was a very flawed candidate but his ideas are popular with a large percent of the Country. The backlash against the left will come if the republicans can sport a candidate without all of Trumps drama but with most of his policies.

    Yes you did.

    Then you were asked to provide evidence.

    You posted two links that had nothing to do with race.

    Please let me know if english isn't your first language.....

    Um... it is stories like this that absolutely guarantee that I will never support socialized medicine. I pay for my own medical care and thus there is no need to triage me. When the government becomes the payer, I can be triaged. Ask any country that has socialized medicine about that. If we have socialized medicine and there is risk of triage by race, I can't imagine support being that high.... in fact I would anticipate violent resistance by the races forced to pay but subject to race based triage. This isn't rocket science...

    Polling disagrees with you — the Capitol event you are so proud of (and threatening a round two) plummeted Republican support. When you add in the 2% - 5% loss of Republican electorate in Texas each election cycle it isn’t looking good for another right wing evangelical populist.

    Y’all would have many more voters if discrimination wasn’t one of the key tenants which is now being matched by the left.

    In your version of the English language — English is capitalized by the way — what does the word “minority” mean?

    In my version of the English language, as well as the various dictionaries, minority means smaller. In context we are discussing “minority group” which is typically based on differences in observable characteristics or practices such as religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and so on.

    So it has been a reading comprehension issue / educational lapse this whole time.

    So again, I have never never asserted my comments were about race (or ethnicity). That is something you created on your own.

    It would be terrible if some white liberal went to this hospital for emergency care and couldn't get treated in a timely manner because of their skin color. Just terrible.

    I live with socialised medicine (we've had it for decades), and it's WAY better than privatised.

    Triage is always medical. When you need treatment, you'll get it. When you can wait, you'll wait.

    No one is advocating socialized medicine. Most people simply want a national public option that would provide a minimum level of coverage but would also allow the purchase of private insurance. Most places with national healthcare operate in this manner.

    Triage already happens in this nation. Currently

    No, they're defending racist hospitals just like they defended racist Oakland.

    If , and it’s a big if, if Trump has less of a presence in the party , the pubs will win back the House and senate next year. If the party insists on sticking with Trump then they will continue to lose and likely turn more to violence.

    They are absolutely going to cling to him.

    You either support discrimination or you oppose it. Ignoring it when it doesn’t impact you will eventually see it swing around and catch up to you. Republicans are far more discriminatory in legal practice than Democrats are but the left is certainly marching in that direction.

    They both suck. But the dems seem proud of theirs. Hard to see it ending well.

    I agree they seem proud of theirs, that is what happens when the bully finally starts being bullied.

    You can only slap someone so long before they finally punch you back. Unfortunately this will result in a race to the bottom over who can hurt the other the most.

    That will be determined in the courts. In the mean time, the right is apoplectic. I couldn’t be happier.
    Exactly. What’s your problem with that ? You think with 20% of the population given any opportunity they never had before will affect your Lilly white opportunity ? This probably isn’t even in your state....if you feel bad, just have good cry and move on.

    Of course they are. They work at providing opportunities for minorities. Repos are only considerate of others by mistake.

    Opportunity they never had before? Lilly white? Why do you flaunt your racism like it's a good thing?

    First, I said “Maybe” they’ll get healthcare. No guarantee with all the whining going on. Trump is not a white supremest ? Oh, tell that to the kkk. They think he is. So that’s the only time I’d trust their word.

    As a matter of fact, 57% of Americans do. Gotcha.

    You’re forgiven. Why don’t you call Brigham and Women and ask them. I’m just referencing the article. Them get back to us.

    No, you stated that blacks are not getting healthcare. You weren't quoting anyone. No back peddling now.

    Why are you dodging your own statement? YOU made the statement that blacks cannot get healthcare. Now own it.

    That’s because a large precent of the country is flawed too.

    Exactly, Trump is a loser. We got that out of the way.
