We're the MAJORITY of the American people, even though a lot of people don't realize they're "liberal".

I take it as a compliment.

But when Chump lumps us all together and calls everyone who opposes him the "Radical Left," I have a BIG problem with that. We who oppose him are on every point of the political spectrum. Many of us aren't "left" and virtually none of us are "radical."

We are the American voters and we are the full majority. Chump is the minority.

I went off a tangent - sorry! I'm tired of him lumping us all together as the "Radical Left." We 're not, and your point is well made.
