25. BECAUSE HE ISN'T A DEMOCRAT!!! He disassociated himself with the Democratic Party at the first

Mon Sep 11, 2017, 03:08 PM

Sep 2017

opportunity he had after using Democratic party to further his political ambitions

Here is where it stands. Enough of those self-identified progressives who refused to vote for the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE in 2016 have pissed off a lot of folks who DID VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE in 2016, and because of THAT contribution from those self-identified progressives who wouldn't vote for the Democratic nominee, along with some other things, we lost the house, the senate, and the white house, and if he is stupid enough to try to run again in 2020, those Democrats who supported the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, will NOT be there for him, so let's see how that works out for him then

It is a double edged sword, and just watch it slice the other way if he runs.
