I denounce her.

 

Shut up, white boy.

 

Probably. But I could definitely see my sister standing up there in all her whiteness and saying she's in charge of telling white people when to shut up. That mentality is not insignificant within the party rank-and-file.

It isn’t hard to understand why Trump’s aides would want to distance themselves from the mogul’s decision to begin his presidency by shouting self-aggrandizing delusions at CIA employees, congressional leaders, and the Fourth Estate. But we aren’t in the late days of a losing campaign, when it’s normal for advisers to start leaking dirt on the boss to save their reputations.

No.

 

Most Republican union members probably aren't too keen on Democrats raiding their pensions. But the larger issue here is that Trump can gain a large chunk of Democratic votes if he plays this right.
