But there is no need to promote it these days since we already have plenty of it. We are a deeply and perhaps irreparably divided nation. &#0160;So it is not right to say that Trump is divisive: he is standing on one side of an already existing divide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Trump did not create the divide between those who stand for the rule of law and oppose sanctuary cities, porous borders, illegal immigration and irresponsibly lax <em>legal<\/em> immigration policies. &#0160;What he did is take up these issues fearlessly, something his milque-toast colleagues could not bring themselves to do. &#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">And he has met with some success: illegal immigration is down some 50%.&#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">So-called &#39;liberals&#39; and their RINO pals call him a bigot, a racist, a xenophobe. That they engage in this slander shows that the nation is bitterly divided over fundamental questions. It also shows what kind of people our political enemies are.&#0160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Too often journalistic word-slingers shoot first and ask questions never.
