Senator Schumer, I use that for lessor calamities. We are not on the same page of outrage.

Blasting Schumer for his use of a word is not helping. Focus on beating the crap out of the repubs in November.

They're drawn to the authoritarian, anti-system 'leader' style of a Trump

But right now there are TONS of those GOPer voters confused, nervous and unsure about NK and Kim.

The Democrats need to come out STRONG and LOUD against Trump's actions and give them something solid

We, the American people were not in that room with Trump, did not take pictures with a dictator, and did not say nice things and make excuses for a dictator. That was all Donald Trump. Make him own this by himself.
