Parker's answers are NOT something that should be relied upon. During the controversy over the SAVAS social studies curriculum, Parker incorrectly told the School Board that Savas was "the only curriculum approved by NCDPI". That turned out to be false. Then on the Bridges math curriculum controversy, Parker told the School Board that Bridges "was not Common Core math". At a later meeting when easily available research showed that it WAS Common Core, he had to reverse himself.

The question is whether Parker is just that poorly informed or whether he is deliberately giving answers he knows to be false, possibly at the behest of his boss. Either way this history means anything he says should simply not be trusted.

Bob seems to be ignorant of Republican Party history. Unlike Europe where parties on the traditional right and populist right almost always organize as seperate parties, in America, the GOP has always had its populist and traditional conservative wings, as well as a moderate faction. Only once has the populist faction gone off as a third party, which was Teddy Roosevelt's ill-fated Bull Moose Party. The Democrats have also had their populist factions from time to time, with two instances where they broke away and formed third parties, the Populist Party in the south at the turn of the 20th century which allied with Republicans and ousted Democrats in some southern states including North Carolina, and George Wallace's short-lived American Independent Party in 1968.

President Trump is doing a good job keeping the Republican Party united and governing effectively. Yes, we may have primaries, but we will close ranks afterward to defeat the left. IN general, I think there has been a better working relationship between populist conservatives and traditional conservatives than between either of them and the moderates, although at most levels things have been worked out there, too, although that historically has been the biggest point of strain within the party.

After the corrupt New York City and state governments have sought to destroy Mr. Trump, his business, his family and his associates, he still wants to save New York as they continue desperately to destroy themselves.

Kash's interview on the Shawn Ryan show was very informative. I suggest people take a look.

It makes sense to 2/3rds of the American people so, OF COURSE, it does not make sense to Bigot Bob and other race hustlers.

Again Big Bob: You are vomiting stupidity as if what you think is real, important, and, especially, anything that you might add regarding any real Republican would be authentic.

Big Bob, you are a Leftist, which categorically allows you little leeway in the dissemination of knowledge business, which also includes knowing anything real about real Republicans, which you do not.

BC board has at least two MAGA members. MAGA is not republican.
Its the first successful third party in many a year.
