What offends you? The word "Prick"? Republicans own the label, no? Time for Democrats to deal unilaterally with same shock value. Trump is a Prick, no matter how you spin it. I want to see the Democrat Party own these scumbags. Please don't start a linguistic critique on language and your sensibilities. I am a long time poster who has always appreciated your thoughts.

No. I do not win, none of us win until the GOP is destroyed. You in your past post to me call it a game. People dying from lack of healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, ending chips, defunding PP, ACA, funding billionaires and taking away from the lost middle class and ,more, more more, IS NOT A GAME!

I have a lot of faith in our Democratic Party, they do the right thing for all of us. Yes, we have both men and women, the ones you call pricks and vaginae, standing for us, so sorry you only see us as "DEMOCRAT" and not a Democratic Party. That alone speaks volumes, That lable is in no way a Democratic talking point. That is in fact RW. Please correct that.

The first time I voted, I was age 19 and living in Philadelphia, where I was in college. The office of mayor was up for election. The Democratic party machine was powerful and totally corrupt at the time. They put up the brutish police commissioner, Frank Rizzo. He delighted in bashing peace demonstrators with his billy club. He was a racist lout who hated people with an education. The Republicans put up a mild-mannered administrator named Thatcher Longstreth. Rizzo won, immediately started siphoning off money for himself, went down to DC to chum around with Nixon, and soon switched to the Republicans, where he belonged in the first place. My roommates (both black) and I all voted for Longstreth. We hated Nixon and the Republicans, but we sure as hell weren't going to miss the chance to vote against Frank Rizzo. So, all three of us cast our first votes ever for a Republican. As far as I know, that was the first and last time for all of us.

Face it, you could fix this entire controversy with a simple subject edit, but you've doubled down.

I want somebody who can look down on Donald Trump. With that silent hard look guys give each other. Especially when, in a debate, Trump tries the ploy he used on Hillary, stalking her all over the stage. That look that says, quietly and evenly, Oh, yeah, kid, you wanna fight? Like the boys used to do in my old neighborhood. I am sorry that we are having a resurgence of the caveman chromosomes. But that seems to be what is happening. During the 2016 campaign, I heard many men saying, we need a President with balls. Sometimes, that kind of guy can get through to these Faux News zombies.
