Trump & The Repugs Are Afraid This Time.....
You can tell by the swift reaction of the WH to get Trump to Parkland and this so-called 'listening session'. Also watching Rubio last night agreeing to everything he's been paid for by the NRA to crush. You saw the reaction of the audience to him and the NRA woman.
It's presenting a real dilemma for the Repugs. They want to get ahead of this issue so come Nov they can say they supported these kids.
These kids are not going to quit and the Repugs picked up on that right quick.
Rubio last night and I believe Trump today are counting on the cover the rest of the bought off Congress will give them. It appears the Repugs have been placed in a position to go counter NRA. Unless the NRA gives them some sort of slack on some issues like bump stock & and background checks so they can claim some sort of support for these kids - they're between a rock and a hard place. They need to try as to not look like they're beholden to the NRA.
I just hope the Dems don't get wishywashy now on guns as I read in another thread here this morning. This time the Dems have been placed - serendiptously - on the right side of this issue and I hope they don't screw it up.
You got a whole new generation of voters fired up and on your side about an issue that really means something to them.
The Dems need to capture this moment and be true to these kids or they will wind up turning them off. The kids have captured the backing of a lot of the country in a very short time - and they have more energy in their movement to come. The Dems - if they handle this right can count on these kids supporting the Dem Party well into the future. The Repugs realize this too - therefore you're going to see a lot of dancing around the issues to make themselves look good. They need those young kids as votes in their pocket in the future as well. Which Party will woo and win these votes?
Like I said above - I just hope the Dems don't screw up this opportunity.
