Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.
He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Def the middle. Where I’m trying to get the message just right.
Okay, poets and writers of short pieces, which are the most difficult for you to write— titles, beginnings, middles, or endings?
For me, it’s definitely endings!

So, in the same interview, Trump tells Welker he wants dreamers to be able to stay, but he's going to end birthright citizenship for people, actually born here, to undocumented parents. This isn't consistent policy making; It's spur of the moment talk & that's dangerous for a president-in-waiting.
