They come from districts where anyone who has a "D" after their name will automatically get the vote. IOW, these people don't take the time to read up on where the candidates stand on the issues. Maybe if they took the time to do so and be responsible voters, in some cases they just might realize that the RINO is more in line with their beliefs than the blue dog democrat is.

He did not just say if you hate America leave. You know better than that. He told them to go back to where they came from. Why did he do that?

"You look at that Axios report on a poll that showed how toxic members like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Omar are to key swing voters. So I think it's to President Trump's benefit to some degree, to elevate these members of Congress and make them the defining face of the Democrat Party." --Lisa Boothe

Lisa Boothe is right on the money, the bigger these goons become, the better for Trump.
And Trump knows it, and is doing everything he can to keep them in the spotlight.

Most everybody in this country came from somewhere else. Including Trump's family and Melania.

...yeah it's Fox.....prove them wrong
Which refutes nothing that I've written. NOthing. If you want to make an argument, then I suggest you do so. In the meantime, they are still all Americans. AMERICANS. And you don't tell Americans to go back to the countries where they come from, because that makes no sense. They are in the country where they come from. It happens to be the UNITED STATES.

Were the others? Maybe not, but she's as much a citizen as Melania is. Except Melania was illegal when she came here.

My question was rhetorical. I know exactly why he chose these people. And you know too.

Yes, I come from a district where anyone who has a "R" after their name will automatically get the vote. Does that make the people elected from my district illegitimate? And these women are not blue dog democrats.
