Unions representing nurses, janitors, security officers, food service workers, teachers, construction workers, and maritime workers give the democrats huge sums of campaign money.

And in return democrats support policies that help regular workers, like raising the min wage, giving everyone healthcare, giving the middle class tax cuts, giving small businesses tax cuts, giving small businesses lending aid, lowering credit card interest rates, lowering student loan interest rates, giving workers longer unemployment benefits, stopping millions of American workers from loosing their homes from bank foreclosures, ex.ex.

Republicans on the other hand get 100% of their large campaign contributions from large corporations and billionaire CEO's like the Koch brothers, and these billionaires want low min wage laws, lower corporate tax rates and corporate deregulation.

Its strange how republican voters who are regular workers themselves support a political party funded by large corporations, instead of supporting a political party funded by regular workers.

I have no problem with her wealth, but I do have a problem with their picking and choosing what morals
And values we all have to agree to as clearly Melinda Gates is not an example as she was silent on Bill Clinton.

She said the President NO MATTER WHO SHE OR HE IS......that implies Clinton, Trump and whoever else is and will be President.

She didn't pull Clinton out of the category of President -- no matter who she or he is....

It is absolutely positively ridiculous for her to be criticized for not bringing up Clinton when asked specifically about Trump and she clearly answers that all Presidents should be held to a standard.

Yes, my statement was overbroad, and frankly, wrong.

Women were in the kitchen, gays were in the closet, and minorities knew to stay out of sight out of mind. That's the America a large number of Trump supporters want.
You really need to get out of Oklahoma.

Is there a chance for an honest answer to that question?
Do two wrongs make a right? After Clinton behaved that way, we should have been even more selective in who we voted for! At least Hillary hadn't just given birth. It's all wrong. Apparently, Trump should get a free pass for everything immoral that he does. I never heard or saw Clinton or any other President make fun of those less fortunate or have a physical or mental disability.

He didn't just lie, he committed perjury.

You have no problem with Trump paying hush money to porn stars simply because he's a Republican and hates the same people you do.
Everyone isn't either a Republican or a Democrat. Everything isn't Us vs. Them. I have a problem with a number of the shenanigans both men have been involved in.

No Trump voters have their morals and ethics, but don't kd yourself that you voted for Trump because he was some kind of moral or ethical titan.
I burst out laughing as I read the bolded .

I think you have it backwards:


Democrats in 2016: Comey is a loser! He should never work again! He betrayed Hillary.


Democrats in 2017: Trump fired Comey? That creep! Comey was a decent man and Trump went and fired him to cover up Russian collusion!

Melinda Gates can say whatever she wants. That doesn't mean I can't call her out on her stupidity, and political, nanny state bias.
Uh no. Unions don’t do that these days. This is not the Jimmy Hoffa era
