    In order for that to happen. We need to make the Democrats liberal again.

    Saw Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on MSNBC: Velshi & Rhule today.

    The Moderators: Ali Velshi & Stephanie Rhule wanted to discuss The Republicans with The Candidate. Come- On Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is as good as elected; in The Bronx, New York, there are no Republicans around the area. This will not be any kind of litmus test.

    Will this play in Peoria?

    Not nearly as annoying as the opposition, but if we take that attitude, it will be hopeless--and we'll have Trump for another 6+ years.

    And? Doesn't matter what President we have. They're just the physical embodiment of our subconscious desires as a people. We fear death as a nation we choose a man who exudes strength to stave off the inevitable.

    That may be awhile. While both parties crave to the point of fiending over power, the rules have kept them somewhat evenly matched. But humans have a long history of achieving power in vile, hideous and violent ways. Why? Because it's a lot easier than following rules or trying to be polite.

    The democrats (and their hard left controllers) have tasted the results of base human instinct, and they like it. With all of the analysis of "how on earth could Trump have won" going on it's interesting how everyone seems to forget all of the rioting, looting and civil discourse that occurred under the last, democratic administration.

    A LOT of Americans actually don't want that (I know this may come as a shock to some). And yet, it appears the democrats are not only embracing the possibilities, they're realizing the potential. I am predicting a great deal of violence in our future, much of it leading to random, unintended victims.

    I think the Democrats need a hot button issue. Maybe they need to bring a big question to the voters, like for example: Is there a constitutional right to hunt wild game in America? If the courts agree, then there would be no need for people to own guns and we could confiscate all of them! Boy, that should really upset the Trump supporters!

    You are well aware that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

    I don't know if I agree with the credit you seem to be giving them.

    Aw now, don't be getting personal in the forums. It leads to bad things.

    These are back on track.

    575 Arrested During Immigration Protest

    "protesters were charged with unlawful demonstration, a charge that includes crowding or obstructing others in a public place."

    There are unverified reports that they were yelling to the cops.......We have a right to petition the government. We have the right to assemble as they waved the Constitution.

    And in other news Maxine Waters ask to be left alone.

    What exactly is your point? That Americans shouldn't be able to protest? That the demonstrators, protesting child abuse, should have been more genteel in the way they went about it? They were yelling at cops? They were claiming a right to assemble? To petition the government? To wave that subversive document the Constitution? How terrible. Just like those blacks like Dr. King who practiced civil disobedience, broke the segregation "laws" and went to jail! How ghastly! How can I handle a post like this without being accused of being "abrasive" and "demonizing"? I won't even try. It speaks for itself.

    It probably depends on whether or not the protesters support something he doesn't agree with.

    I don't think she was asking people to utter death threats.
