And he's got no shame so he won't even be embarrassed. He reminds me of William H Macy in Fargo.

I suppose you could be happy that's all you have to deal with, instead of being physically attacked, like some people supporting Trump have experienced.

Because no Trump supporters or those who share his ideology have ever done the same??

Despite that debacle, there are still Statesman within the Democratic party and I still see many left wing representatives actually trying to get legislation passed to help the average American. I do not see ANYTHING like that on the right. When you use your political capital to convince your base that corporations are just like them and money in politics is what the founders intended, we know something is ****ed up royally. Is the birther in the Oval Office going to get rid of Citizens United? I would think that he and his base would be in favor of that...no? There are many left wing reps lobbying for that.

Sad but true. Too many Trump supporters have been the victims of physical attacks by the leftists. You don't see the "alt-right" behaving this way. Youtube is filled with videos of Trump supporters being savagely beaten and jumped for doing absolutely nothing.

I think the Democrats have moved the center of the party way left. Is that what they mean by progressive?

You have nothing to back that up. I can on the other hand find hundreds of videos of attacks against people wearing Trump hats and shirts. Even people being tied up and tortured or dragged behind a vehicle while their attackers laugh and shout "f*** Trump!*.

I challenge you to find anything equally heinous perpetrated against Hillary or Bernie supporters. Your party is the party of violence, chaos, and intolerance.
