But you believe him when he says the "beautiful vaccine saved millions of lives". LMAO! And your recent post about what wearing your face diaper at work proved is so absurd you have disqualified yourself from any rational discussion on anything Covid related

Hard to disagree. You have a point. He’s old, and he’s not a politician. He says things that cost him votes.

he accused Nikki Haley of not being eligible for the presidency. He said of Obama, Haley and now Harris that they shouldn't be allowed to run for President. Conclusion he thinks the office should only be held by people descended from W Europe ....... aka real Americans. Frump who spent most of his working life in metropolitan New York City. There are LOTS of multi-racial and multi-ethnic people in NYC. He should know better. But he needs the votes of all the hicks out there. How are you SUPPOSED to "act Black"? On bentways thread, inode says real black women twerk all the time. There ya go.

I get your point. But this election will ultimately be decided in regard to policy issues and how it has affected the working class. What you are harping on I cannot disagree with in principle, but I think it will have a minimal, if any, impact on the election. What's up with you? You hardly discuss substantive policy issues anymore and how it affects and has affected the lives of most Americans. People are going to vote their pocketbooks, not whether Trump considers Brenda Indian, Black or what have you. Back in 2016, there was all this Trump talk about whether Obama was really an American citizen. I thought it was ridiculous at the time and yet Trump got elected President. You are focusing on nonsense, very minor to nonessential issues. Trump is not going to lose the election based on what he says about Brenda's ethnicity - though I do think he should shut up about that.

I think your wife is way off base if she is relating to people differently based on ethnicity or race. I relate to people differently based on their class, whether they are poor, lower middle income, middle income, upper middle income or wealthy. That is to say, I am only going to discuss the financial markets with someone who is upper middle income or wealthy. Why would I want to do that with someone who cannot afford to be in the financial markets? I relate to people based on what is important to them, what their life revolves around.. I think your wife is way over the top on this ethnic thing if she is relating to different ethnicities differently in substance. Sure, there are always religious differences and different social customs, but that is minor to insignificant differences to me. I always focus on common interests, which is basically determined by one's financial status. I can easily get down to anyone's level and have a good conversation based on where they are coming from. I have friends from all different realms of the financial spectrum. Ethnicity has never been a factor for me at all in terms of friendship/romance. Yes, I am very Jewish, ethnically speaking, but I can easily relate to non-Jews without a problem or issue. In fact, I have had many non-Jewish friends/romances over my lifetime and ethnicity determines very little to nothing for me. It is all about shared values and principles for me. I don't care what your religion is or skin color. I am well versed in Christian, Hindu, Islamic Philosophy so I don't consider those differences to be important in establishing a friendship. I believe respect is essential.
