I was at the gym and they always have Fox on one of the televisions. So, I caught a little of this great speech. He was essentially saying that Detroit was one of the worst places in America in terms of crime, poverty etc. It was,of course, all the due to the Democrats and their policies and those lavish safety net dollars that caused everyone in Detroit to stop working and go on the generous dole.

He implored all African-Americans to vote for him because the only way to change things for the better is to change leadership. No mention of what magic wand he would wave to remove the structural economic issues that have led to this for all racial categories.

I couldn't help noticing that in the part of the audience that I could see there was not a single even slightly swarthy face.

Hmmm... Seems like Donnie boy only preaches to his very receptive choir. Wonder how that is working out for him?

who are used to being fed their bull shit in the dark so they're wearing sunglasses.

These crowds sure don't look like the America I live in.
