Former President Donald J. Trump was the keynote speaker at the Black Conservative Federation's honor's gala held in Columbia, S.C. the night before the South Carolina Republican Primary, and the press tried to make something about nothing of his remarks.       MSNBC asked South Carolina Republican Party Chair, Drew McKissick about the comments to which he replied by comparing Trump to a construction worker.      "If at this point everyone doesn't know how Donald Trump speaks and has spoken since he came on the scene in 2015 then they haven't been living in this country very long, McKissick told MSNBC.

In 1976, Reagan took his “insurrectionary” and “divisive” primary campaign against incumbent President Gerald Ford and was blasted by the old guard of the GOP as an extreme n...
