"but you can hold accountable people who are wearing MAGA hats who are yelling things that people can view as racist"
Fine. Hold THEM accountable. But don't transfer their guilt, to people who wear a similar baseball cap who aren't doing anything wrong. The hat is irrelevant. The person, and his actions, are what matter.
"the data is credible enough to know that some people wearing those hats are racist "
Agreed. But the hat doesn't make them racist, their actions do.
"you are more likely to find a racist person who has a MAGA hat than you are in the general population"
I don't concede that for a second.
"Where was the evidence that Trump was to blame? It's very easy to blame him. Show me the proof.past comments - sheethole countries, etc"
Did the kids claim that Trump made them do it? Or are you just speculating?
"Why talk about his policies when he is such a vile, disgusting person "
Because his policies are what actually matter, they are what effect us. And the alternative in the 2016 election, was also a vile disgusting person. |

How much time was spent discussing Obama's mom jeans, his "treasonous" wearing of the brown suit, his disrespect for the White House bc he once put is feet up on the desk, his disrespect for the military/flag bc he saluted w/a cup of coffee in his hand, etc. |

Now I have to look up Obama mom jeans. I don't have any idea what that was. And sure, I poked fun at Obama. Not hundreds of times, not every single day. This is all day, every day. |

Perhaps it is because Trumps goal is to be in the news everyday, all day and he is quite effective at it.
Numerous experienced politicians have told him he'd get more accomplished if he behaved differently.
He has not changed.
And so far his legislative accomplishments are not noteworthy. |

Except my net pay is up, my IRA is up, GDP is up, unemployment is down, and ISIL is having a rough time...
Pete, when you ignore his accomplishments, I agree it's easy to say he hasn't done anything. |

I didn't ignore any thing, what I said was "And so far his legislative accomplishments are not noteworthy".
Perhaps like Scott, you think he is not responsible for legislation since he is not a "legislator" |
