"While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, 'What made America great in the first place?'" Robb wrote.

As far as I know, and does it exist? Yet the KKK can endorse Trump, and all is normal.

She's fantastic--every bit as solid as Oliver or Stewart and maybe as good as the mighty Colbert himself.

I'll track down that clip. Thanks!
