  1. Bernie Sanders:

    I wish I could tell you I had a magical formula for how to end racism. It’s gone on in this country for before it was America, let me just say this, because I’m older than you: You’re impatient, and you should be impatient. But if we were standing here 30 years ago and somebody said, ‘You know, I think in 2008, the United States of America will elect an African-American president,’ you know what people in this room would’ve said? They would’ve said, ‘You are crazy. That will never happen because America has too much racist baggage.’ But it happened. So, I guess you’re right to be impatient, but we have made progress in this country. Not enough.

  2. Rico Merkert:

    It has too much baggage; that name, it has too much bad history.

  3. Tucker Martin:

Has Donald Trump permanently hurt the brand here or can Republicans get a fair shot to introduce themselves to voters again without Donald Trump baggage hanging around ?

  5. Peter Ellis:

    Export being checked in as baggage is not an uncommon sight so I wasn’t even surprised.
