He made a poor decision that he thought was the only one. Sadly, it was. You're missing my point. If he had gotten the nomination, he would have during the course of a debate or otherwise, said something that highlighted his socialistic nature and it would have come off bad. Every candidate does that. My point is Trump never really backed away from his comments. He stuck with them. Who knows what would have happened if Bernie hadn't been screwed by the DNC. Would he have won? The question is would those few hundred thousand in those 5 key states have voted for him? I don't think so , but who knows.
You can't say that "almost all Americans do". That's conjecture at best. There's no proof to back that statement up. In fact, approval polls say just the opposite. Absolutely I can.
No, you can't. You're making an assumption not just of Haiti, but of the thoughts of the entire population of the US. Believe it or not, Port-au-Prince and Labadee are still fairly popular. Yes, they are cruise destinations/ports of call - but the overnight stays are still in the hundreds of thousands per year.
Have you ever thought about taking a vacation in Haiti?
No. I'm not a tropical destination kind of guy. But that's just me, not everyone else.
Do you live in those neighborhoods in Chicago I'm talking about?
I don't now, but I've lived in several neighborhoods in Chicago. From Logan Square to the tip of East Garfield to Wrigleyville. I can say that there is good and bad in all of them.
That's the best poll there is.
Don't you see? By you, and others like you, calling entire cities or countries sh!tholes, you do a disservice to the issues. It's name-calling, that's all. It's textbook bigotry. It's not bigotry, it's reality, it's the truth.
No, it's actually the textbook meaning of bigotry - obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices : the state of mind of a bigot
We've been dancing around the issue for so long, we can't call a spade a spade. Haiti is a sh!thole.
No, it's not. Parts might be, but don't condemn an entire country. What does that serve?
What good does it do to pretend it's not? Maybe their only chance to escape their fate is by acknowledging where they are. Again, you've seem to have missed the point. With a statement like that, you basically give up on whatever you label. Be it Haiti, a city a race, whatever.
