If I might say something controversial? [View all]

I think that what the Democrats are marching and protesting for is the principled stand. It is the right thing to do as an American.

But I do not know how politically popular it is with the majority of Americans?

But it would not matter if more people voted for a Muslim ban than against it? It is still the right stand to take.

It's probably a good place to start?
