A handful of Democratic Senators were fuming on Thursday as Donald Trump and the White House strongly consider giving back two compounds to Russia that were shut down by the Obama administration.
America is supposed to be a refuge for people who think a certain way about freedom, not a homeland for people who look a certain way.
The media has dubbed the Trump protests as the "New Tea Party". But this is mainstream America. This is not an extremist faction of the Democratic Party. And therein lies the huge difference between this movement and the Tea Party.
Rising Democratic enthusiasm comes at a time when many voters across the country are already casting their ballots.
"Clinton is getting the backing of senior military service members and former officials with command and management experience because of her proven record of diplomacy and steady leadership on the world stage."
"This stuff about growing an economy that works for everybody, we haven’t been sitting in an ivory tower looking out at the world; we’ve not ever been sitting in penthouses looking out at the world."

Trump said "Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution," while Bernie was talking about, "Our...new group called Our Revolution"
"Hard to believe that Bernie Sanders has done such a complete fold. He got NOTHING for all of the time, energy and money."
"I think it was a home run...if you want to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, hard to find a better selection than that"
"The Democrats are in a total meltdown but the biased media will say how great they are doing! E-mails say the rigged system is alive & well!"
The Democrats of the antebellum south are the Republicans of today, and the Democratic Party that more closely resembles the party of Lincoln
It's not so easy, on the other hand, to unify behind a candidate who has no knowledge of the issues and uses bluster and racism to fuel a substance-free campaign.
"If he means it when he says he will do everything in his power to keep Trump from being elected...He...must stop attacking the Democratic Party in a way that might discourage voters in the fall."
