    And? Let's assume an elected official groped a girl in middle school. Should they be removed from office?

    How about the massive number of people that would be labeled a sex offender if their drunken behavior were held against them?

    I am all for sensibility and scumbags being outed, but I am a bit tired of all this.

    Not in disagreement, he resigned, his choice.

    If it is PROVEN that "an elected official" molests a girl in middle school, IMHO, he should be dragged out into the street and shot in the guts with a small-caliber weapon, so that it takes him a long time to die. Then, he should be left there to rot, for all to see... once it's proven.

    PROVEN! That's the operative word....

    Words matter when you want to represent an elected position. He resigned as he should given the position. tRUmp admin was incompetent to appoint him but their talent pool is limited to flunkies.

    No, they don't face the same socio-economic challenges. Economic, yes.

    Yes, it's a good thing they have had the Republicans to help them.

    This is a go to argument in gun debates so I'll give it a shot here....
    There are 1.79999 billion Muslims that didn't kill anyone yesterday.

    I can agree that elected officials should be extra careful what they say and do. Theirs is a special, unique position of trust and responsibility. I don't agree that Trump recruits exclusively from the ranks of "flunkies". Or, if Trump has done that, he has certainly not done it any more than a hyperliberal 'potentate' like Obama did when he appointed lock-step 'agenda-stooges' like Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, etc.

    I ask myself this question... "If I were president, who would I want to be on MY team...?" Sure, I'd want 'competent, qualified people'... probably everyone would say they want that. AND, I'd want people who can keep their f*cking mouths SHUT -- plus, stay the hell off of idiotic things like "Twitter"....

    I admit, I was never good at using the terminology for the pre-historic age. I suppose I shall take this time to clarify: The Islamic nations basically fell apart, I think we can safely say around the late 1800's. From thereon, it became a cesspool of corruption.

    Let me know when you want engage is some kind of rational exchange.

    Republicans have been painted by the race hustlers on the left as some kind of pariah, so I doubt Black Communities will change that opinion any time soon.

    What I do hope is they will come to recognize how they as a group have been played by the left, and will respond accordingly.

    Considering they have been abandoned by the left in order to promote, pander, and reward, the millions of illegal aliens who have taken their jobs, housing and targeted educational dollars, it's going to take quite some doing to keep them corralled in the Democratic Party fold over the long term.

    Oh... a numbers game...? Then tell us, how many innocent victims of Islam are acceptable to you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis? How many tortures, shootings, stabbings, bombings, burnings, 'drive-over's',and beheadings are "OK" with you -- all done in the name of a religion that commands its followers to do all these things to "Infidels" -- right now, in the 21st-century?

    Did you bother to read any of these teachings of the "Religion of Peace"? Link: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

    Using your logic Slick Willy Clinton should have resigned for disgracing the office of the President, right?

    Yes, you've made your opinion clear on how Democrats have been the bane of African-American existence in the U.S. but at the same time you haven't mentioned, at all, what Republicans have done since Lincoln to help them. This is a tough road for you because you wanted a rational exchange so to point out the Republican efforts on this front will probably stretch the fabric of rationality.

    Religion doesn't kill, people do. Obviously it's a mental health issue. I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to all Muslims worldwide.

    Acting like an adult. He admitted his mistake, apologized and the apology was accepted. What is Roy Moore doing today?

    I'll go further, Islam is not a religion. Islam is a form of governance.

    It's not a tough road at all. I'll agree Republicans as a whole have done a terrible job countering the propaganda the left has been pushing, so I understand how Republicans are perceived in Black Communities. I don't think that perception is going to change any time soon.

    However, when it comes to how Democrats have treated Black Communities, consider one example.

    Illegal Aliens, a favored status group among Democrats, have done more harm to Black Communities than any other group in the last 25 years. Their impact on jobs, housing, and education has been devastating.

    So, assume you are a Democrat, what would you say to a member of the Black Community who asks why illegal aliens are more important than them?
