    Progressive readers are still telling me how "disappointed" they are at my disinclination to reach out to Trump voters. So I thought I'd use this column to spotlight a few of the people I've failed to reach out to:http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article211963789.html#storylink=cpy …

        But surely, there must be a way to reach a peaceful settlement. Said the Jews of Germany and Europe. Said the American Native Indians. Said the slaves off the boat from Africa. Said the Japanese in the Internment camps. Said the gays of the 80s and 90s It seems to get repetitive.

        Reminds me of an old issue of Justice League where an ambassador from another planet teleports from his spaceship down to Apokolips to bring a message of peace to Darkseid. Minutes later the ambassador's head is teleported back to his people on the spaceship.

        The article as well as your response is nothing but hyperbole and projection based upon a few outliers. The reality is a big chunk of traditional Democratic supporters jumped ship after realizing the Democratic platform was smoke and mirrors. We value competence not skin color.

        Yep, the election of #PresidentBirther is like the lava spewing from HI volcano; been building for years, partially known about, just now exploding.

        Leonard, you are so on it. There is no reasoning with visceral haters. Solution: either they self correct or get outnumbered.

        I’m with you. There is no gain nor value in “reaching out” to trump voters. There’s NOTHING THERE TO CONNECT TO.

        Right. And what they have to “connect” to I find repugnant. So no thanks.
