Gen. Wesley Clark on Trump and the protests: "We are seeing the turning of the tide"

Former NATO supreme commander on Trump's threat to send in troops: "That is not the way to resolve our problems"

*If the United States is going to be a great country in the 21st century — and remain as a great country — we've got to live up to our values. It's about "We the people." It's about equal rights. It's about treating people fairly and uniformly without regard to the color of their skin.

What we are seeing emerging now in the United States is the turning of the tide. And I think we are moving into an era in the United States when we can go forward with greater respect for each other and greater appreciation for the value of diversity, the value of community and the importance of the public welfare as opposed to just the private welfare.'

I don’t see that happening. The Trump cult is devoted.

I predict his numbers will return to the low to mid 40s. I’d love to be wrong.

Our goal should be mobilizing all people who didn’t vote in 2016. Get them registered and then GOTV!

November 3rd is when the tide turns.

They are magical thinkers and you can't fix that.
