There may in fact be extenuating circumstances, but from the video it looks like they could have physically restrained him.

Dash, I appreciate your thoughts and firm beliefs. We obviously have a different perspective on the current political scene.
I do find it quite telling that so many Republicans are sounding alarm bells. You didn't see that in 2012 with people from the Obama administration coming out against the incumbent.

There's got to be something dysfunctional with so many top advisors leaving, good solid people with reputations like Matis, and Kelly, and even Tillerson.
That they are not supporting, in addition to all the other Republicans actively working against the president is a telling message I would think.

Whatever you think about GH Bush and GW Bush (and I certainly didn't agree with their policies) the fact that former Republican presidents didn't vote for Trump has to mean something to thinking Republicans.

I dont feel sorry for people who refuse to follow police orders and then are shocked when police have to react. So sick of this bs narrative that "well they dont deserve.to be shot." You dont follow.police orders, shit happens. Officers have to deal with this crap on a daily basis and have to make split second decisions. I feel way more sorry for the officers who have to deal with this crap from a guy who already had a sexual assault pending case against him. Oh but he is such a good boy and moved to turn his life around..yeah whatever I've seen this movie before.

Nancy Pelosi, today, called everyone who supports Trump, "enemies of the state". Think about that for a second.

I have never in my lifetime heard a politician on one side of the aisle call the other side "enemies of the state."

That is disgusting. And the Democrats think people are stupid enough to believe they'll be uniters.

His biggest accomplishment was a crime bill that sent thousands of Black men and women to prison.

He says he's Catholic, yet will not even stand up for the most innocent and defenseless lives - the unborn.

He doesn't care about law and order. He will stand back and watch this nation burn to the ground as to not upset the left-wing rioters, looters, and anarchists causing havoc in our cities.

He will put illegal aliens before citizens.

Actually, thank God he won't, because Trump is going to be serving four more years.

He's 10 points behind, so good luck. BTW, Roe/Wade isn't getting overturned ever by the Supreme Court and there are only 29 'pub mayors of America's top 100 cities. What's trump's religion, worshippers of the gold toilet". He can't even hold a bible up correctly, probably because he never opened one. Are you saying trump is truthful? HHHaaaha

I feel fairly certain that GHW Bush and GW Bush are not RINO's; and they wouldn't vote for Trump.

I'd also bet that they don't feel threatened by Trump.

I could be wrong of course.

I bet you believed the polls in '16 too didn't ya Bobbie?

I'm not saying Roe v Wade will be overturned. That's no excuse to allow the murder of millions of babies every year. Thankfully some states have imposed strict regulations on abortion. Joe would have no problem allowing a baby that survives an abortion to lay on the table and die while so called doctors and nurses walk around it. Sick!

I've never claimed Trump was a Christian, but he stands up for people's freedom to worship, and he stands up for the unborn, stands up for people's freedom of speech, the 2nd amendment. You know, things that are in our Bill of Rights.

Or maybe it's because Trump emasculated their son/brother during the primary

That might be important to schoolyard chums impressed by the local schoolyard bully.

If you've been president of the United States, probably not worried about petty stuff like that.

(then again, Trump does seem fixated on Obama.)

He isn’t fixated on him. He’s going open season on him.

Are you comfortable with the Democratic Party in its present form? Simple question. Yes or no. Are you proud of this current version of the Democratic Party?

Yes. Read their platform.
It's an effort to bring jobs and equality to our society.
It's filled with ideas to make the American dream a reality for everyone, not just a few.

I went to read the Republican platform to compare, and they don't have one this year.
