Donald is a prick. I get that. It's unlikely he will win. But Hillary as the Commander-in-Chief, after those comments and her Husband's policies against Black folk....well. It's not gonna be pretty.

The whole crime bill era was something Bill worked with Biden and others in response to the black community crying out for help. It's so annoying when people that weren't even alive use during the time use Twitter as their source to what happened when, if you were black at the time, you more likely than not SUPPORTED the bill. Hillary admitted time and time again during the Dem debates that while the bill had good effects it also had bad effects. I remember it was something Bernie would try to drag her on but he voted for it so...
Hillary winning the black vote by 90% isn't because she's running against Donald. She'd be winning that much regardless of who it was because she's had a history of actually giving a **** about the AA, Hispanic, and other minority communities. If you're going to use the term Superpredator as something that paints her as being the devil while Donald's comments over the past 16 months only make him a prick.
Ontario is lovely.
