Brokaw: I Have Never Seen the Country So Fractured, ‘We're in Tribal Warfare Here
2016-11-07
[Breitbart] Sunday on NBC’s "Meet The Press," former NBC’s "Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw said, "I have never seen the country so fractured."

Brokaw said, "I’ve been at this a fair amount of time. I have never seen the country so fractured. The Founding Fathers said ’We the people in order to form a more perfect union,’ this campaign has been we the African-Americans, we the Hispanics, we the women, we the angry white males, we the wealthy, we the people who don’t know quite what to do. We’re in tribal warfare here. That’s not who we are. That’s not what we can be. Newt Gingrich is right, we’re in for a very difficult time whoever wins that. There are so many things that have not been addressed in this campaign."
Most insightful. Yes 'Tribal Warfare' as planned. I believe the first blows were struck soon after November, 2008 and they continue to this day.

#8  When we hit real tribal warfare, you'll know. I am quite sure you are on quite a few lists through your own actions and words.

As for me, I have no list, just popcorn and lots of lovely butter and salt. Real butter, not the fake stuff.

#7  Bobby, it is never Obama or his policies, it is always the response to Obama and his policies.

#6  Mr. Brokaw, the MSM slimers have had a lot to do with this schism that you mention.

#5  Hey, Tommy - are we more fractured now than eight years ago, or less fractured?

And how would you explain that, Tommy-boy? I'm sure you wouldn't think it was the leader of the nation, but who/what would you blame?

#4  Yea well, once you have "affirmative action" - making a majority of the population second rate citizens, sabotage due process in sexual accusations on campuses, make joke of the rule of law, encourage terrorist attacks against cops what do you expect?. To be candid Thomas, I'm surprised the deplorables having started sniping you "elites" yet. Probably, giving you one last chance - mark my word, don't steal the elections!

#3  Thanks to the likes of you and people like you, ushering in the radical commie and moslem scumbags mow writing your press releases. You gutless wanking liar.

Far too charitable. Heaping praise such as this upon them will only make them stronger and more determined.

#1  First blows came with the Clarence Thomas hearings when the left went all out to prevent a conservative black justice. It has escalated since then. Not long ago Mitt Romney was satan, now he's a great statesmen and Trump is satan. Familiar pattern yet folks forget.
