116. Yes! But, Moore doesn't recognize that bc it doesn't fit

his narrative of praising Repubs and Slamming The Democratic Party.

"In new film, Michael Moore compares Trump to Hitler. And he's not so crazy about Obama, either."

"I've come to the conclusion that the old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump"

"trump is comparable to hitler", but it's the Democratic Party(old guard).. Like John Lewis?.. that is the roadblock. He's an idiot.. and so Full of Shite.
