@Jaicee there were some constructive policy debates last night. The healthcare, immigration, automation, Iran, tariffs and to a lesser extent criminal justice were very much policy focused. I think the issue was that instead of focusing on what you plan to do in these areas people we hung up on what certain candidates have failed to do.
A large portion of the criminal justice segment was.
Person 1: I plan to do this.
Person 2: But you've failed to do that when you had the chance.
Person 1: No I havent. You have failed to do this in the past.

"with Trump calling for members of Congress to be deported to countries they weren't born in because of their skin color"

Really? When did Trump do this?

Would he say something like that to Bernie? Come on now. It has everything to do with them being black/brown. 

Or it has to do with their names not sounding typically American.

He certainly didn't say that in make believe world where everything needs to be spelled out in such a way where it can't be twisted to the point where everything is meaningless otherwise. 

But in the real world where everyone is quite familiar with what words mean, and what people mean when they use them, it's pretty obvious when he said it.  

So when did Trump call for the deporting of members of congress?

In the real world, he did it on July 14, 2019 at 5:27 AM.

In the make-believe world, it never happened, because of *insert excuse*.

*a few possible excuses:

- it was only a suggestion

- he clearly honestly wants them to come back

Was the word "deport" or a form of the word used?

You just proved that their names are American sounding... These names come from all regions. So again the only reason they were targeted is that they're four women of color.

I didn't find 'Ilhan' or 'Tlaib' in that list.

So only those found on that list are worthy? Wtf are you on about? My point is that there really is no typical "American sounding" name because America is made up of people of differing cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. They're all American sounding names.

What you meant by that statement is "white sounding" or "European sounding" names. No wonder you're defending Trump. Your prejudice is showing.

No, do NOT put words in my mouth, I know exactly what I typed: typically American. Compare those names to names common in other nations like India for example: https://www.babynamesdirect.com/baby-names/indian/
