I was raised by a racist father and two of my sisters are raciest and they hated Obama and they would often say why but it was often thinly veiled racism.

    Thought experiment: Cut out the answers, imagine the answers the current president would give.

      You know why.
      Same as me. At the time I took this level of coherence, decency and stability for granted. Now I turn to these videos like a comfort blanket.

    Now, that's how a real President talk. Not like the clown we have now in the white house.

    More relevant than ever. I was thinking back to past republican Presidents and presidential nominees. I believe that both "Bushes", John McCain and even Paul Ryan have the interest of America in their heart - I might not agree with the specifics, but I believe they are genuine. What frightens me is that I can not say the same thing about Trump!
