More and more, it seems that successful politics is about contrast.
Also FYI that photo of the crowd in Birmingham looks white because there's dozens of people of color on the stage. Generally if you are a POC you will get invited to join the stage behind the candidate to make the crowd look more diverse. But obviously it makes the rest of the crowd look less diverse, which is less of an issue because the TV cameras don't show much of those shots.
That video is still right on. He's kept every promise that he said he'd do. He has, and if you disagree it's only because you hate the man and don't care what accomplishments he's had so far. Not voting for a continuance of his past three years is just plain being stupid and are party over country.
I'll admit I was Cruz over Trump and at the beginning it was like my mother telling me to eat my veggies and me having a hard time swallowing them but I knew it was for my health. I learned quickly and became a die-hard Trump supporter regardless of his personality. Cheetos, I say this but in reality I can be pretty Trumpish in my behavior too. I don't beat around the bush. Now, I love the guy because he's like Mike Baxter... and me.
