The worst thing is.....this is what liberal parents are teaching their children.
You don’t know what liberal parents are teaching their children if you aren’t a liberal

This isn’t about the election——Trump’s acolytes are the ones who can’t get over that
This lack of respect is for a man who shows no respect, no decency, no moral compass
If you want people to respect Trump get him to become worthy of respect
And I imagine that is as far beyond his capability as losing weight...

I agree because I remember the GOP member Joe Wilson of the House who called President Obama a liar from the floor of the Congress during his speech to the joint houses in 2009...
For which he was censured...

Washington is the home of the swamp.
Imagine all the relatives (attending baseball) of all those swamp creatures.
Not a place for an outsider like President Trump to expect applause....

Yes, as did Fort Bend County (adjacent to Harris County). Trump didn't get my vote, but my county (Montgomery, also adjacent to Harris County) was the only county in the country where Trump beat Hillary by more than 100,000 votes. Trump also won all of the rest of the counties of the Greater Houston area (10 counties).

In the Texaplex/Texas Urban Triangle, Clinton won 5 counties....Travis (the largest and one of the two major Austin Metro counties), Bexar (the main San Antonio Metro county), Dallas County (one of the DFW Metro counties), and Fort Bend and Harris (Houston). Trump won the rest of the counties in the Texas Urban Triangle.

He isn't popular. He never will be popular. He may hold office through a legal technicality, but he will never be a "popularly elected president".
But I think he’s probably going to win because Democrats refuse to give us a good choice. They could have had this in the bag if they’d not gone so far left. The only normal candidates are an old man whose dentures keep falling out and he seems to have some dementia, and a woman who no democrat seems to like because she’s anti-regime change. The rest are scary.

But he wasn’t wrong.

I don’t understand why anyone in Harris County wouldn’t vote for him in 2020 if someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren wins the nomination. I hope all the newcomers realize just how much the city depends on the oil business. It’s pretty diversified now, but it is a major industry with a lot of satellite industries that employ lots of people in this town.

He is unpopular. The reaction of patriotic citizens to Trump, when he ventures outside of his tightly controlled settings, is frequently embarrassment, dislike and disgust. He is met with protests almost everywhere he goes. Think London, think Pittsburgh, think Puerto Rico, think Dayton, think El Paso and on and on. It is meaningful, Pilot1. It is very meaningful.

Tonight was indicative of the sentiment around the country and the world.
Trump = Boos
José Andrés = loud cheers and applause
Vox populi.

Nope.

Liberals have friends (and family) who aren't liberals with whom they discuss what they teach their children.

I'm not a Republican, and I would never vote for Trump, and I agree that he isn't deserving of respect, and I support marching on the Capitol, posting to Twitter, voting against, etc. as political protests, but I think the protests should be left out of a baseball game. Show disapproval by ignoring an announcement that he is there.

That is a great slam...
Someone rich enough to own a baseball team in the national capitol doesn’t want to host Trump
At least someone isn’t for sale...
And Trump apparently didn’t even consider bringing his young son with him. Such a conservative family values man...
