How do you know what swing voters are going to do? You state this as a fact.
Government cheese maybe worth changing that to government soybeans after all Trump is pouring a healthy chunk of tax payers money into that train wreck at the moment. That’s hard working Americans tax money that could be used for Americans children…just saying
Wait until you can and then comment. Now, was that so difficult to figure out?

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. The Democrat Party Leadership is infested with communists and socialists who delude, lure and addict our nations needy with free government cheese.

I don’t know what the swing voters will do. I do know he lost the popular vote and needs swing voters to win again. I suggest he will not win them over by telling folks with whom he disagrees to leave the country. That message is profoundly offensive to voters who understand the beauty of representative democracy.
Exactly. You don’t know what swing voters will do.
No. That message is not “profoundly offensive”. Anyone who publicly shows a hatred for and constantly lies about the United States needs to pack their crap and freaken leave.
AOC and her communist/socialist squat squad should thank their lucky stars they are living in the United States, and stop trying to fundamentally change it.

Stop trying to defend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is nothing more than an ungrateful, loudmouthed con artist.
Give it a break. We all know the first thing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supported as a member of Congress was giving herself and members of Congress a $4,500 cost of living increase which her constituents would be taxed to finance.
The fact is, this communist/socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now lives large on her constituents dime with an annual salary of $174,000 in addition to another $110,000 in fringe benefits [retirement plans, top of the shelf medical, paid vacations, etc.] bringing her annual earnings up to about $285,000.
AOC gets a gold-level Obamacare health insurance policy and receives federal subsidies that cover 72 percent of the cost of her health insurance premiums.
Additionally, free or low-cost care is available to her from the Office of the Attending Physician, and she also has access to free outpatient care at military facilities in the Washington, D.C., area.
She gets all this and then complains that she needs a $4,500 cost of living increase which her constituents would be taxed to finance.
I hope those who elected this communist/socialist flimflam artists are beginning to realize what communism and socialism is really about ___ it’s about those in power living large on their constituents dime.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims to be an advocate of hard working people living in the Bronx. If that is so, why is she not advocating an end to the unconstitutional communist/socialist “Temporary Victory Tax” of 1943, which began federal confiscation of the bread which working people have earned by the sweat of their labor?
She has access to the socialist, taxpayer funded military facilities? Now I am outraged… I want that too… At least she isn’t getting that Medicare cheese…
AOC for VP in 2020!

JWK, your view of liberalism, liberals and the Democratic Party is factually incorrect. You can read up on it to get a better understanding of its principals, but as for liberals themselves: you must talk to them. A lot. And listen. You’ll be surprised most (I’ve lived and worked with liberals for 50 years) have a deep reverence for individual liberty, the free market, revere personal responsibility and are profoundly patriotic. They just differ in how best to make our society the best it can be. Don’t take your cues from bomb-throwing libs, or those who want to give everyone else’s money to a few or the silly, precious, cultural fighters who are offended by the weather. If you do allow the above to define liberals you give liberals perfect license to define conservatives and Republicans by the marchers in Charlottesville; a profound error and disservice to Republicans, conservatism and conservatives.

If this is the case, then Trump needs to pack his bags for Germany now because he constantly lies about the United States.
And saying the US can do better than it has done is not “expressing hatred for the United States”.

My “view of liberalism, liberals and the Democratic Party is factually incorrect”?
I noticed your generalization. Now, how about being more specific? Are you suggesting the Democrat Party Leadership does not embrace using the force of our federal government to take the product of one person’s labor, which is then transferred to another for their personal use and enjoyment?
My “view” is, the Democrat Party Leadership ignores the defined and limited powers granted to our federal government as summarized in the Federalist Papers, and they do so by taking the property of one person’s labor which they then transfer to others for their personal use and enjoyment. This type of federal action is of course forbidden by our Constitution.
“ The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.
*The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State." ___ see Federalist No. 45
So tell me, how am I "factually incorrect’?

Bernadette’s message was “don’t give foreigners government cheese…give ME government cheese”.
The constant is government cheese. She’s not asking for it to go away?
So why are supposed conservatives adopting her as a standard bearer.
A marriage of convenience?

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE DREADED REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH BY A GRADUATED INCOME TAX? SURE, DEMOCRATS FAVOR THAT. AND SO, APPARENTLY, DOES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. OTHER THAN ANCIENT STEVE FORBES AND A SWIPE AT IT BY TED CRUZ, REPUBLICANS FAR AND WIDE HAVE ACCEPTED THIS AS A REALITY AND PROBABLY A PREFERENCE. FRANKLY, I’D LOVE TO EXPLORE THE CONCEPT OF A FLAT RATE TAX. BUT TO PIN IT ON DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS ALONE IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. REPUBLICANS HAD MANY CHANCES WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS IN THEIR CONTROL TO TAKE IT UP.

AGAIN, FIGHT THE FEDERALIST PAPERS FIGHT. IT’S A GOOD FIGHT AND NOBLE ONE. BUT FIGHT IT WITH EVERYONE.

WOW, OKAY, I SEE WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM. YOU MAKE VALID ARGUMENTS BUT BLAME ONE SIDE. THAT’S PARTISANSHIP, NO? IN MY VIEW PARTISANSHIP STRUGGLES WITH OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF ISSUES.

I THINK I JUST DID. YOU BLAME ONE SIDE FOR ESSENTIALLY WHAT IS THE STATUS QUO. I THINK, JOHN, YOUR FIGHT IS A GOOD AND NECESSARY ONE. BUT, TO SUBJECTIVELY EDITORIALIZE, IF YOU WOULD INCLUDE THE REPUBLICANS IN YOUR CRITICISM, YOUR ARGUMENT WOULD HAVE MORE CREDIBILITY TO A LOT OF FOLKS.

A flat tax on what? Please elaborate. What is a “flat tax”? And what is being taxed?
The socialist/communist Democrat Leadership gave us the 16th Amendment. Never forget that. And then, they also gave us the unconstitutional “Temporary Victory Tax” of 1943, which began a federal unconstitutional direct un-apportioned tax on the property which working people earn from the sweat of their labor.
