The Democrats Have Already Surrendered To Wall Street / Trump / Corporate America - Gingrich Brags

Half the people that voted for Trump thought he would fight harder to help them than the Democrat.

That's what you get when you surrender before the first shot EVERY GOD D--N TIME.

"Gingrich brags that Republicans are coming for everything FDR accomplished"

The Republicans have declared war on MY COUNTRY and the Democrats are planning their surrender.

I am not supposed to bash Democrats here, and that is not the reason for my post.

I just wish they would fight as hard for my family as the GOP fights for the 1%.....

If you don't oppose "The Republican Agenda" then spend your time shopping for cemetery plots for you and your children.

Molly Ivins once quoted some advice she heard from an old timer in the Texas legislature. He told a younger colleague, "Son, you got to be able to take their money, drink their liquor, sleep with their women, then stand up on the floor of the legislature and vote against them." That's where we fall down. Many voters believe we are taking their gifts, and spending our time looking for more gifts, not paying much attention to the concerns of average American. They could be right, although voting for Trump is not a solution.

Elizabeth Warren...and?

Keith Ellison would be a good change for the DNC.

We need new, fresh, and bold leadership!!! I'm not seeing much inspiration from the old guard.

Do you think Gingrich is emerging as the power behind the throne?
