Trump: Putting Tubman on $20 bill "pure political correctness"
The Hill ^ | April 21, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday came out against removing former President Andrew Jackson from the front of the $20 bill, saying "pure political correctness" is behind the move. "Andrew Jackson had a great history and I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill," Trump said during a town hall interview on NBC's "Today" show.

He’s wrong here.

I do not, however, doubt that he is pro-life. He is simply still on the usual path from pro-abortion to pro-life. I walked it myself, so I know what it is.

But it’s ultimately not gonna make any difference in this election. Abortion laws are gonna stay the same.

We must have very unusual church ladies at our church!

because the stories they tell of their missionary work overseas makes anything Hariet Tubman did seem trivial by comparison.

There are 10’s of thousands of US soldiers that have better hero stories.

No the reason you want to discontinue the conversation is because you have nothing cogent to say about the matter and you got schooled. :-)

Trump’s stance on Tubman is way more non-PC.

I wonder if Dana Milbank and Jebstate have caught on that “dummy” Jeff Sessions shares on and off agreements with Trump on bitter clinger history.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/23/AR2006052301519.html

“Alabama’s Jeff Sessions sure knows how to nurse a grudge. Talking about his family earlier this year, the Republican senator recalled that “Lincoln killed one of them at Antietam.”

Now he is turning his prodigious anger on legislation the Senate is expected to approve on Thursday that would allow millions of illegal immigrants to become citizens. In the process, Sessions is taking on the White House, his leaders in the Senate, the Congressional Budget Office and business interests at home. “
