      Agreed….There are a lot of good speakers-but, very few who can speak knowledgeably, eloquently & powerfully off the cuff ( without a script) as he consistently does……That takes an extreme level of both focus & forethought that only a handful of very talented thinkers possess.

He's thoughtful, articulate and respectful. Watch how he always listens and waits for the other person to finish their thoughts without interrupting, before he speaks. He's fearless as far as going into any political arena and speaking a consistent message. Love this guy. I hope and pray he does great things for this country. But at least he's spreading the word.

      @tecumseh4095 Před 2 měsíci +1

      He is completely wrong and should read upon on Three-Fifths compromise(!)
      The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the United States. It dealt with the issue of how enslaved individuals would be counted for the purposes of determining a state's population, which in turn influenced its representation in the House of Representatives and the distribution of taxes.Southern states wanted to count enslaved individuals as part of their population to increase their representation in Congress and thus have more political power. However, Northern states, where slavery was less prevalent, argued that slaves should not be counted since they were treated as property and did not have the rights of citizens. The compromise ultimately stated that for the purposes of representation and taxation, enslaved individuals would be counted as three-fifths of a person. This compromise effectively gave Southern states more political power in Congress than they would have had if only free individuals were counted, without granting enslaved individuals any political rights or freedom.

      What exactly do you mean? I mean do you need the history of Democratic Party to realize that Black people have been lied to because there’s not one civil rights bill has ever passed, or any amendments to help Black people that had a higher percentage of Democrats voting YES than Republicans. That includes when they had the majority. Even when Republicans were in the minority, the percentage of them voting YES was higher than the percentage of Democrats voting yes. When will we wake up? Look at all the blue cities, All the dead bodies on the street and what do Democrats do but make false promises. They have messed up the black family. They divide them with welfare. And I still can’t believe the Black people do not know that the 3/5 rule was what Republicans fought for that helped not only the nation but help to contain the Democratic Party because if they had many more votes, they could pretty much do what they want and that did not include trying to give Black people their civil rights

      The problem with Byron, is he articulates himself very well with certain audiences like Stephen A Smith, but then when he gets among the group of Republicans he forgets to not play the political games, and participates in the lying etc. AOC called him out greatly for his lack of context and disingenuousness when he tried to talk badly about Hunter Biden.
      So it becomes misleading a lot of times, what you do behind closed doors are not interviews needs to be relatively the same for the public otherwise you have distrust and he gives a lot of that despite his intellect

If the rest of the respective parties could engage in this manner, we would have a much more productive government, getting sht done for the American people. Lets get Stephen A in government, and Byron Donalds further up the chain. This is coming from 48yr old, white military veteran, just an everyday American trying to survive.
