how is his support in the state of michigan? asking thank you for that question because, i don't the key would win the state if the election were to be held this year. people were trying to choose between what they might have considered two evils -- the best of two evils. i chose the other route, i did vote for clinton, even though i am an independent. i voted for reagan in the past and many other republicans in the past as well. i voted for clinton because i felt like trump, based on his the political -- he made too many negative comments. and racist comments. i did not appreciate that at all. host: thank you for your insight. we will go to kelly in missouri on our line for democrats. you are on c-span, your reaction to president trump today. .aller: hi for one, i can honestly say i did not vote for trump. i am not a trump fan, but, and i do not agree with everything that has been going on in the white house because it is too much drama. the white house should be pretty much invisible. but his speech he said tonight, i just hea

that is why president trump carried michigan, pennsylvania, and there are people who make a reasonable case that some of this is being driven by the people who lost those states who did not expect to lose those states because, gosh, these are our people. they were guaranteed votes and didn't get them. i think that is a bigger issue right now. why are we dividing the country along these racial lines? is it just for political gain? i was struck and i wrote a column on my facebook page about this -- this almost seems like if we could go back to 18th century france and the beginnings of the french revolution. i started a column by saying that thomas jefferson was wrong on the french revolution because what was happening -- you had , ate that wanted to be king king that was not governed by the rule a lot like magna carta in england and you had a blood sport for 25 years that left you with a military strongman named napoleon whose jobs program was to take militants and put them in the army and take a hike to moscow. we do not want to go there but i am afraid that that is historically what ha

that is part of why he carried michigan and pennsylvania and ohio. he went to black churches. he sat down with black leaders. i asked the question of a caller earlier on the radio, how can you say that donald trump is a white supremacist? millions ofed at people over 30 or 40 years prior to running for president and in a year and a half no one could be found that would stand up and say, he treated me badly because of race. for five any business months could run into something like that -- i don't buy the idea that the president is a white supremacist. , when david duke said, i support the president. i like donald trump. everyone said denounce him. at some point or another, we can all run around and denounce everybody. i did announce what david duke stands for -- anyone who does not believe that men are created equal. was i said thomas jefferson wrong i meant that time on the french revolution. when jefferson sat down in charlottesville and thought about this and went to philadelphia and wrote that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, i said

the first is that the michigan constitution is clear in supporting where legislation. no property should be assessed at more than 50% of its market value. ther state constitutions to extent they mention property tax assessments say things like the property tax assessment must be fair, uniform, and equal, which means it is up to a judge to decide legality. because michigan constitution and supporting legislation says no property should be assessed and more than 50% of its market value, it means that people like me can come in and determine legality, and that is what we did. until the numbers from 29 2015 and found in each of the seven years, anywhere between 55 and 85% of properties were being assessed in violation of the michigan constitution, putting into disrepute the record number of property tax foreclosure's in detroit. the second binding was when we broken the data into five quintiles, quintile one is lowest valley homes, to quintile five, being the highest value. we found in quintile one and two come in the majority of those years, 95% or more of those propertie
