The more the Democrat party pulls issues into the campaign platform and touts them as Democratic ideals, the more it takes away the space for Republican folks to support those issues and makes it less likely that our society will benefit from whatever the Democrats are claiming ownership of. Democrats need to find a way to support issues without claiming ownership of the issues.
If Republicans can't accept reality and facts because they are Democrat issues, then there is no hope!
They have to come on board for their own morality
I really can't agree with your point.
It's big money against the People
We have to fight the few for the many.
It's all the right wing media that fosters this Right Wing mentality,
we have to try and get them off the propaganda band wagon, it has warped the minds of 40% of our population

I don't think people who are registered Republicans are evil. I do think that the leadership of that party has been hijacked by extremists that peddle fear and hate and focus on the enemy's problems rather than their own solutions, and the dilemma is how people who are deeply tied to Republican identity wrestle with those things.
I think this is insightful.
However, it is backed up by changes in education that make it more difficult for individuals to make independent assessments of validity. We laugh at the "alt-truth", but it is a very real thing.
I'm not sure what democrats can offer, other than an honest checklist of what they offer that is different than the GOP.
I used to think that the GOP embraced the concept of "personal moral values", at least in principle. However, the elevation of Trump, with all his very public failings demonstrates that has been lost. I cannot imagine such a man being elevated in the time of Reagan, Bush I, or Dole.
For a time, GOP leaders walked away from him, demonstrating considerable courage and concern for the country. However, all that moralizing dropped into the toilet, and was replaced by a hunger for winning. They really disappoint me.

Dang, Trump fires Comey.
Says it's because he didn't prosecute Clinton even though he said he didn't care anymore.
But it's really to impede the Russian investigation.

It is healthy to have multiple points of view, and work toward compromise that does the greatest good.
The current powers-that-be want divisiveness, because it makes us easier to control and manipulate. If we worked toward common ground we could take the country back.

Comey gone. Expect Trump to put in someone who passes the loyalty test to him, not the country.
It'll be like J. Edgar all over, but with much stronger tools.
Just killed the guy who was investigating the White House.
Make America Great Again.

Cover up has just ratcheted up. If I was Flynn, I would watch my back.

Flynn will be indicted. Trump will pardon him before any prosecutorial deal can be made.

If Trump says he fired Comey because he didn't prosecute Clinton, then logically he will be expecting the next FBI director to prosecute Clinton.
Trump doesn't have the guts to do this and will weasel out of this obvious hypocrisy.

Well, guyman, the government is us. What do we owe ourselves?

The number one policy issue is figuring wtf is up with trump and Russia. This whole damned government is under one giant, darkening sh#t storm cloud until this gets figured out. Don't count on Republican to do sh#t.

If Trump says he fired Comey because he didn't prosecute Clinton
He said the OPPOSITE! The firing was because Comey "was too mean" to Clinton.
The bastard is a smug FCK. No WONDER he's been so god damned smug this entire god damned time. He knew. He knew. He KNEW. All along. And how many GOP are in on it? I guess we will find out.
The ONLY hope is that DT is so damned incompetent that he did this out of a delusional foxhole prayer that axing Comey would axe the investigation.
Comey testifies Thursday, I believe, in closed session. The moment of truth is soon upon us. Pray, and pray hard, that we are not in the workings of a coup.

Happi, I doubt that Comey will testify on Thurs. I expect that "executive Privilege" will be exerted.
Outrageous, but Trump could probably shoot Comey in the head on 5th ave, and no one would care (he thinks)

What is the point of an investigation if the only people that know the facts say that can't speak because it's classified....
We need all the info from the investigations that is classified and not classified so we can evaluate it in respect to the Constitution.

Comrade Craig,
I don't agree. "methods and techniques, people and places" need to be protected. We disclose the agents we have in Russia who contributed to this, they are executed tomorrow. Fine if you want to decimate our intelligence-gathering on the ground, but we don't.

It does.
Tomorrow, NotMy President Trump is meeting the Russian Foreign Minister at the White House.
Guess what - that has to do with health care too. The health care of the United States.
F*#K the Affordable Health Care Act right now. Jesus FKING hrist, already.

Chaz, I didn't think so. Thinking that way creates a perfect methodology for distraction, of which Trump is a master.
Note that healthcare has been moved off the front page this afternoon.
