(17,387 posts)I did not understand what was the relevance of your reference to Jack Welch, a CEO, but you introduced him (even though he had not come up) so that you can knock him down. Nice.
Frankly, I am opposed to racism, and just because someone that people do not like is against racism, does not mean that we should all be racist. "Hey, look, Jack Welch is a bad person and is pro-immigration, so build a wall, build a wall." I don't think that line of logic necessarily follows. Do you?
Of course, the question that folks who have defended Bernie are refusing to answer is what is the difference between Bernie's views on immigration and Trump's? Don't they both scapegoat immigrants? Haven't they both tried to exploit differences by suggesting that African Americans are somehow uniquely harmed by immigrants? Is anyone brave enough to defend Bernie/Trump or to explain the differences between what both Bernie and Trump said.
