Another one bites the dust. I work closely with a hard nosed Democrat and she was all Hillary during the election. We learned not to bother talking politics with her because she would get in your face with her eyes bugged out. Lately she toned it down and now on two different occasions said Democrats are acting like a bunch of idiots, I'm kind of liking Trump. I want to see what he can do but Democrats are making us stuff to stop him. It's annoying. Yea, we're shocked.

He is so right and when you have a leftist like Geraldo agree with you then it is really bad.
Geraldo is not a leftist

The difference today is that republicans are calling each other out when they cross the line.

Can you ever imagine corrupt Loretta Lynch recusing herself for meeting with bill Clinton for a half hour WHILE she was investigation Hillary Clinton for multiple federal criminal violations?

Horrible double standard. Democratize clearly don't have any red- lines that they speak honestly or act honestly. This is partly why democrats continue to lose elections.

Did O'Reilly make that observation after some "expert" analysis by a Swede?

And that is what the TEA party was screaming at the Republicans about. It would be nice to see some Dems screaming at their own party for acting like sore losers and stop throwing temper tantrums.

Trump is trying to drain the swamp. TEA party people are for that the Dems not so much.

Bill O'Reilly making such a statement, won't achieve what he thinks it is aimed to do.

He needs to wake up and realize, Democrats are not allowing "Republican phrasing to define them, nor influence them any-longer".... so that old game of sling out a phrase and push a label, is not going to work this time around.

The minority party (Democrats) can define themselves as they please, the majority is busy governing.

They don't work with the republicans, so rather than compromise, the republicans simply ram through more extreme legislation that would have been passed had the democrats been more mature about their defeat and worked with the other side. This is what happened with Walker in Wisconsin, and it appears like it will happen again with Trump.

It's a party that supports losers, adopts a losing strategy, and wonders why they continue to lose. Normal people don't care about the welfare trash, refugees, and other assorted parasites the democrat party panders too. Normal people can see through this drivel they spew and are offput by it. This is one reason us moderates want Trump to stop with his tweeting and act presidential. People don't like that petty sort of emotional ranting, regardless of which party does it. Normal people can see through it, see through the media bias, the rantings of hollywood actors, and just roll their eyes when people like Sarah Silverman open their mouths.

I'm all for legal immigration via an honor system. Prove you can pull your weight, and get citizenship. I think this is a great idea Trump has proposed. To democrats, "racist" means not supporting unproductive welfare trash or letting in millions of refugees just to be "compassionate" ... some of us want to do what's best for our nation, not be blanket compassionate. Survival of the fittest FTW.
THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All true and the facts back it up. The left have had a fire sale on local, state and congressional seats, they lost WH, and now they will lose the SCOTUS and Trump will stack more than 100 lower court seats with conservative judges.

Those are all facts, and not a sign of a winning strategy.

As long as they keep doubling down on their insane logic "right is wrong and wrong is right" they will continue to decline until they become a footnote in history books. The oldest party is imploding before our eyes because they decided to play to the fringe rather than the general population.

Is this cycle of drama antics and diversionary game what you call governing?

No, he is a columnist, not a news reporter. He never claims to be straight up news reporter. Compare that to CNN, the networks, NY Times and all the other entities who claim to only report the news yet, especially in recent years, are basically operatives for the Democrat Party.

Liberals always call any news they don't like 'propaganda'. Such small minded losers.
