LTC (Join to see) It's because he's the 'C' word. He's a conservative who won't kowtow to the morons of the left.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I think you're the one that needs to look at history.
While there was generally good relations during the Clinton years with the Republican controlled House and Senate (~35% concurrence in the House, ~60% concurrence in the Senate) during the last six years of his presidency, that changed when Bush 43 came into office.
As you can see from the Pew Polls on partisanship (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2012/06/04/partisan-polarization-surges-in-bush-obama-years/) things started going far apart when Bush came in.
In 2000, the Republican party was a 7/29/60 mix of Liberal/Moderate/Conservative which changed to 5/26/68 by 2012 - a 3 point drop in Moderates and a 8 point gain in Conservatives.
In 2000, the Democrat party was a 28/41/24 mix of Liberal/Moderate/Conservative which changed to 38/38/20 by 2012 - a 3 point drop in Moderates as well and a 10 point gain in Liberals.
What does that mean? Less of those in the middle willing to reach across and work with Moderates from the other side and more of the extremes on either end of the spectrum.
Under George W. Bush, when the Democrats took control of the House in 2007, their level of concurrence was 15% in 2007 and 33% in 2008. Fast forward to 2011 when the Republicans took over the House under Obama and they were 32%, 20% and 21% for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

I like how Ben Carson said that critical race theory is replacing one form of racism with another. By democrats and others calling black conservatives derogatory names, they are the Hypocrites of the modern era and they're not as inclusive as they claim to be.

Ben Carson is a real achieving black man and American who overcame poverty thanks to his determined single mother. Obama isn't black. His mother is white and he was raised by his white grandparents who sent him to private school
