Remember “this is not normal?”

A year ago, it was the motto of the self-styled “Resistance”—the coalition of liberals, Democrats, and a few wayward conservatives who were implacably opposed to the Trump administration. The endless refrain represented the refusal to countenance Trump as an ordinary political actor. Doing so, they feared, would eventually lead to the acceptance of racism, xenophobia, corruption, and authoritarianism as a regular and unremarkable feature of politics and society.

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Democrats no more tolerate Trump then Republicans tolerate Obama - that's a fact.

IE, only behind closed doors.

There is a largely silent revolution going on within the Democratic Party similar to the turmoil that has shaken the Republican Party since the days of the TEA Party protests. The rank-and-file voters have lost confidence in the Democratic establishment which has been running the party since the Clinton days. Their hearts are with Warren and Sanders and their hopes are for an entirely new generation of leadership in a Democratic controlled Congress next November. They won't attack Pelosi and Schummer because they share ideals with them, but they won't nominate them either because they think the old guys and gals lack the fight needed to get things done.

And they do. Schumer and Pelosi are of the Clinton era of Democrats, when they win fights they gain little incremental changes and consider a major victory. When they lose fights, they're pushed back almost into the sea and think they're fighting the good fight.

We need leaders who have real fight in them and are going to take it to the Republicans and maybe regain some of the loses from the past 30 years.

The new wave of Democrats that will be running for Congress are going to include lots of Afghanistan veterans, more women than ever before, and a good sprinkling of latinos, blacks and Asian-Americans. There will be a very obvious generation shift. A Democrat born on the day Clinton was inaugurated is 24 today.

Democrats have done nothing for Americans since Trump was elected. If you are an illegal immigrant, you are in luck. Reach out to the Democrats.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

Sadly, most of the future democrats were aborted for the convenience of their SJW mothers....The next generation won't be found in illegal aliens, as they will be voting for Republicans....The wretched refuse don't like life down on the Democrat plantation.......... :rollseyes:
