What's up with this new conservative love for communist dictators/countries? Apparently, you guys have your eyes covered by all the flags you like to wrap around yourselves. So, North Korea's dictatorship is preferable to a free and open democratic debate for our next president just because N. Korea hung up a bunch flags?

Why do Republicans hate our democracy so much?

I'm sure you feel the same way about rainbow flags displayed at U.S. embassies, right?

You are just being troll like, but I'll respond.

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer". I have no problem with Trump trying to ease tensions with N. Korea, and potentially unify the Korean peninsula.

Why do Democrats hate PEACE so much?

Why do Democrats hate the Constitution so much?

Meh, you guys can dish it out but you can't take it when the tables are turned.

The United States is both a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy. You must have been asleep when they covered that in your civics class.

How can you defend the Constitution when you don't even know what it says?

You hardly need actual flags when the electronic display behind the candidate's podiums was basically one giant, red white and blue flag display:

I was surprised that we didn't see any Mexican flags on that debate stage with all the Spanish being spoken and pandering to illegals being done. What a disgrace that party is.

Yeah-it seemed like several of them were campaigning for President of Mexico rather than the US.
