More grown folk conversations ...

As I write this The Jack Kemp Forum: Expanding Opportunity is being held in Columbia, South Carolina. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and House Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan will be the moderators.

Presidential Candidates, scholars, and community leaders have been discussing policy and proposals on how to fight poverty and expand opportunity.  Here is a list of the Republican Presidential candidates that will be present, Former Gov. Jeb Bush, Gov. Kasich, Senator Marco Rubio, Former Gov. Huckabee, Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Gov. Chris Christie.

One of the presidential candidates that will not be present is Mr. Trump.

 Ground folk conversations requires serious and thoughtful proposal. Mr. Trump is not a thoughtful candidate. He talks about the looks of other candidates and most recently one candidate’s shoes.

He can grab a headline, but can he offer serious proposals?
