    Well Ben, even geniuses have brain farts. Gates just recently admitted that his Common Core math experiment with Americas school kids was an immense failure. Remember he was also the brainchild behind Windows 3.1.

    windows 3.1 ws an immense leap from having to type in command prompts. Of course I remember having to use punch cards on mainframes

    3.1 was the first operating system my home computer used. I did not care much for DOS either. I used Windows until 3.11 came out and then switched to it.

    Dos is what I started out on, eventually moved into Slackware (Linux) and got really good for a while. Once my life went south again I got out of it and never got back into any of it. Windows ten kills me now.

    If you will read the words of the framers of the 14th about to whom the clause pertains, you will find POTUS does not need to change the wording.

    Must be a northern thing, I do not think I have ever seen a "white nationalist". Funny how liberals and their networks drum up a saying and the lemmings just keep repeating that mantra.


    I have seen Trump explain that he is a nationalist, in the terms that he places America first, before any foreign Country. He has shown that he is worried about American interests and citizens and their well being before other foreign nations and their people.


    If that is too hard for people to explain, and there are many video recording of him explaining just that, then maybe the hatred and stupidity has taken over and those people in the media should not be inciting riots and lies that endanger other people. He has not secretly said this in a backroom or office, he has stood in front of the American people and said it live on TV. That should be truth enough for even the dumbest of news anchors, to believe anything else is falling victim to a flat out total lie. They should do some investigation into his background and how the black community has awarded him for his work for them.


    To have the media mark his words without thinking is dangerous. I got a kick out of Oprah telling black people to vote, as their ancestors were denied the right to vote....and they were denied by the very Democrats that Oprah is begging them to vote for. That to me is so insane.

    I've wondered silently about that description myself as the words do not seem to be congruent with each other in meaningful explanation...Using the context you gave for Trump's use of "nationalist," I'm one too...I'm "white" so I guess that makes me a "white nationalist"...I'm also old, crippled, broke and I drive a Dodge...Does that mean I'm an "aged, handicapped, economically disadvantaged, redneck, white nationalist?"...

    If so, which political party should I support that will best serve my concerns?...There are far too many separations of special interests on recent ballots for me to vote "for" anyone...I'll continue to vote "against" whoever is incumbent until a true leader emerges...And I don't hold out much hope for Teddy Roosevelt to rise from the grave......Ben

    You are inferring that being a white nationalist is bad. Exactly what is a white nationalist and why is it bad? Is being a black nationalist good or bad?

    The man said he was a Nationalist, not a White Nationalist, which is a different thing entirely. “Nationalist” has a specific meaning and one most of us here, I posit, will fit within it. If you hear a dog whistle, you have political tinnitus.

    Nationalist

    1. Devotion, especially excessive or undiscriminating devotion, to the interests or culture of a particular nation-state.
    2. The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
    3. The belief that a particular cultural or ethnic group constitutes a distinct people deserving of political self-determination.


    If you do not fit within that definition, I look askance at you.

    I wish the left would just leave race out of everything. Have they not noticed there are all nationalities in the Repub party? Surely that should be very apparent, so stop with the racist labels. If a black person only votes for a black candidate because of their race is that also considered racism?
