Democratic Party. We have no room for Liars and those who throw Cheap Disingenuous Pot Shots at our Party for their profit.
MM tells you to "embrace trump".. have fun with that..
But I think we have to embrace Trump, Moore said in the interview. People reading this will say, What do you mean? Embrace Trump? But we have to embrace him. We have to listen to him. Hes telling lies, and hes telling the truth at the same time"

But, M.Moore also says trump is like "hitler".. so why should we "embrace" hitler? Or the fucking moron?
"In new film, Michael Moore compares Trump to Hitler. And he's not so crazy about Obama, either."
"I've come to the conclusion that the old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump"

Honestly, I think Pelosi saying, "We're going to win the House back."...hurt us on election.

That's one way of looking at it. Another is voters like to see leaders show confidence.
