So when Trump is gone, will you go back to criticising the Democratic Party?

She is a Republican and does not give a damn about people unless they're wealthy. She's just mad that Drumpf is stealing all the money and she can only watch.

Trump is not the only thing wrong with the Republican party.

Hate,greed and lust are. It just seems to have hit the Zenith with Mitch, Paul and Donald. There are no redeeming qualities to save,

Lanced the boil that is the Republican party?

I once developed a boil that was in a spot where they could not give me anesthetic. I still
remember what happened when the Doctor used a sharp knife.

I think of this when I look at what that Party is today and what is gushing out.

It's sad that many here don't take her seriously. Yes, She's a GOPer but come on, she's on our side. At least let her speak the truth.

Latinos are conservative because they come from the social upbringing of tight family units, that are usually religious.

She fled communism and became a lawyer. She's living the American Dream.

If you don't embrace these people that are smart and clever, they will never come over to our side. We need to show her respect for her disgust of that awfulness in the WH because we feel it too. Don't you see that she can bring more Latinos over if we let her show them how wrong 45 is for them?

nevermind...

since the Democratic party is for liberals and those who lean left on important issues, not just anti-Trump.

They were all big R.Reagan supporters. I think Ana is a smart individual, but she's playing shrewd with her comments, only because it's Trump in the WH. If John McCain or Jeb Bush had been elected president, she'd probably be working at some high level in their administrations.

And though we appreciate their POV, we can't help wondering where they'll be when/if they ever return to a Republican "classic" nominee...

Once we're rid of Trump *fingers crossed* they'll likely go back to their side of the aisle. Though I have become a fan of Nicolle Wallace, I often catch her show in the afternoon and she also has good guests. I didn't used to like her - since she worked for Bush* - but she's friends with Rachel Maddow and she's not a never-Trumper, changed her affiliation back when John McCain chose Sarah Palin.

And she has been on the late night shows which is what I mostly post - if they have a political guest, I post those, too.

Wishing you a great weekend, too! I'm looking forward to catching up on sleep, we're supposed to get more precipitation on Sunday and I was dreading more snow, but it looks like it's going to be over 40!

Leave because the vast majority of the remaining GOP leaders and voters are at best enablers and at worst supporters of the thing you despise.

I like that she is constantly taking the piss out of him but I am unimpressed with this undeserved loyalty to a party that is rotten through and through.

There is nothing left in that party to defend. Keep in mind it is not just Trump, the corruption goes all the way down to Congress, on through the sleazy tricks they have pulled like gerrymandering, down right cheating in elections, both state and federal.

This did not start with Trump, the party has been growing more and more corrupt since Nixon.

When she talked about why she became a Republican it was obvious she has been drinking the Republican Kool-Aid all her life.
The idea that Republicans are the anti-Communists has never been true, especially today.

Many of those refugees in Florida lost their Mansions and property when Fidel took over. They spent years trying to get Republicans in Congress to force return of their property.

We forget why Fidel took over in the first place. They treated people like slaves. Yet he became worse than Batista in many ways.

A bit of History.
