- nickthemagicman 10y agoWhats the 4,072.. an the1,218...numbers youre adding?
- problems 10y agoAnd if you think ~half of the country is so horribly racist or sexist they should lose their jobs on grounds of bigotry and hate speech you've got bigger problems than the ability to do math. People just want change and Trump's offering more than just discrimination, he did well amongst white women and beat Romney's numbers with many non-white demographic groups. He might not be my first choice, but I won't discredit all of his supporters over it.
