Colorado's Democratic governor will let Trump ally Tina Peters out of prison early

[Fil1957]

26. This is the kind of crap that's been killing the Democratic party brand for years. No backbone, rolling over and

playing dead, as if that's going to attract voters. It doesn't. It demoralizes the base and invites disrespect from others. It sends the message that the party is weak. And most Americans despise weakness.

And if Polis thinks he or the party will get any points or favors from Trump or the Republicans for this, he is living in a world of fantasy. In fact, his action will only invite future election tampering by giving Peters a slap on the wrist, instead of allowing her to serve out her sentence, thus incentivizing this type of criminal act.

As Churchill said regarding Chamberlain's appeasement to Hitler: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

Our party leaders just don't understand the gravity of this historical moment. They're still living in 1985. This is depressing and demoralizing.
