    What I have been saying since election night----now,finally a elected Representative has the cahones to come out & say what millions of us American's have been thinking---
    trump has had since election day to dispel all our fears about him getting elected, his Russian involvement,but what has he done,taken the side of Russia over the United States intelligence & continues to do so, he has made some cabinet picks that further our fears instead of dispel them
    Don't know where this will all lead, but,I will say this, unless trump can dispel these fears, it will only get worse & people will keep digging----

    This is going to be an entertaining 4 years, and if more Democrats adopt this idea, it's be 8.

    And even if Trump decides not to run, Trump will have the clout to pick a successor and that successor will have the support of the Republican Party and Congress. Dems won't see the WH until 2024 at least.

    Obama instructed his minions to get out from behind the computer and go get some fresh air. Sounds like good advice to me.

    This is beautiful.

    As extreme left-wingers continue to control the Democratic Party, this kind of nonsense will continue to get play. Liberals/progressives/socialists such as John Lewis, instead of being tossed out on his ear by moderates in the party – along with other old, out of date extremists such as Nancy Pelosi – are instead celebrated.

    Instead of younger, more moderate party leaders, the Democrats will continue being exploited by their elderly fringe. This is why Democrats have become a regional political party, strong along the coasts but shunned by normal Americans across the rest of the nation.

    Fringe political figures such as Lewis, Maxine Waters of California, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the socialist Bernie Sanders and others have become the face of the Democratic Party. This is great news for Republicans. As recent votes have shown in 2010, 2014 and last year, normal Americans do not want a fringe, regional party in control of the federal government.

    The Democrats have lost over a thousand seats nationwide since 2008; this will continue until a more moderate liberal faction takes control of the party from its old baby boomer leftists. Here's wishing a long, healthy life for these clowns!

    What do you mean by more "moderate" anyway? Please give us some specifics so we can know what America now wants.

    That is called "gross spin". It's an example of a right wing lie.

    "I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton."

    Hillary Clinton is who destroyed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Your real complaint is that she got exposed for the treasonous political hack she really is.

    If it were extreme left wingers controlling the D. Party, we lefties wouldn't be demanding the party change and move farther left!!

    You can't count on a republican to know left from right.

    Someone like Tim Ryan of Ohio, perhaps?

    Of course, congressional Dems rejected him as their leader in favor of Pelosi. While Ryan reflects normal American Democrats, Pelosi, of course, better reflects today's Democratic Party...

    - - - Updated - - -

    Outstanding! Continue to move your party to the left, this will work very well in upcoming elections.

    Here are a few real "moderate" Democrats:

    Senator Joe Manchin
    Senator Heidi Heitkamp
    Senator Jon Tester

    If there were more like them, the DNC might have a real political party worth believing. But most of the members have fallen so far to the Left (ala Liz Warren and others) that it is literally a laughing stock.

    Hardly surprising, this is what all the talk about Russians has been leading up to.

    The one thing that Right of Center people DO like about leftists is that apparently most leftists never EVER . . . learn. They just keep doing and saying the same ol' dumb things that has very nearly destroyed their party over the course of the last eight years. Sweet!

    Those three words together could either be used as an example of an oxymoron or wishful thinking...

    In my world John Lewis is an icon, a living legend - a genuine American hero. I've seen the clip of him with Chuck Todd, it was revealing and somber. The man is the conscience of the Congress so I'll need some time to digest what this is (and see the whole interview on Sunday). In a way I can understand the turmoil that must be inside this man. Lewis is obviously a huge backer & fan of President Obama and the thought that Obama could be replaced by a man who questioned Obama's legitimacy is a bit much perhaps - not withstanding the effect on the Clinton campaign by the Russians and the disgraceful actions (and lack of) of Director of FBI Comey. All this while Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is the candidate for AG. It's a lot for a civil rights icon to absorb.....

    Please stop, your post is like being tickled mercilessly.

    BTW, I don't know if "conscience of the Congress" would be a particularly complimentary attribution given their track record over the past 80 years.
