    Default Make America Great Again

    To espouse this slogan, and to enthusiastically support a candidate who espouses this slogan, you have to think America has fallen to a place that is less than great. You have to believe that this is a flawed nation, that needs much work to improve.

    How is what Colin Kaepernick expressed any different from that?

    When would Kapernick have ever said America was great?

    Forget Kapernick. If Trumps assertion were true (it isn't) how does he expect to achieve greatness by appealing to a bunch of white mediocrities?

    I'm not looking for a "gotcha" though.

    I legit do not see the difference. I always hate it when America reacts to something like what Kaep did, the exact way that we're reacting right now. The whole "love it or leave it" thing. It's basically the opposite of what America is about (at least to me).

    And I don't see the difference between what he did, and what Trump is doing. But are saying America isn't perfect, and we need to work to improve it.

    As a football fan yourself I know you know the difference between running for President and not standing for the national anthem.

    The guy running for President should get more of a pass for talking the country down & saying the system is rigged against him?

    it's a political slogan. It goes to places like the Rust belt, or insane immigration laws that do not penalize sanctuary cities-
    and illegal's crimes like killing of Kate Steinle in San Francisco .It goes to stop bleeding good jobs. Increasing GDP

    It has nothing to do with white nationalists, or Colin Kaepernick .

    Why give this guy any attention?

    What a great nation America is.

    I prefer we ignore those who try to get attention by saying America is not great.
