Who Can Beat Trump?

But the Parkland students like David Hogg and his sister Lauren, and their allies like Matt Post, have shown us the way. Keep focused on the issues. We will have to unite together on the blue side, including support for gun control; the second amendment is not going away, most likely, but NRA extremism needs to go away. We will also need to focus on bringing a healthy climate and a society of equity and democracy into being, and keep hammering those issues, and let the stereotypes and insults fly around us and not get distracted by them. These student leaders don't get caught up in the superficial insult wars, and neither should we. Mobilize and act; that's the way through.

All Americans will eventually get on the winning team, if the blue team can win and push through what all will eventually agree was the right course, when the mass Trump hypnosis is broken, by the blue team's courage and faith and dedication to what's right and forward-looking, and by the Red team's leaders' own ineptitude and greedy egoism and fear inevitably on display in politicians like Trump.

One of your saner gun posts. Yes, there are extremists on both side, pushing for a gun culture on one side, or total weapon prohibition on the other. There is much middle ground in closing loopholes, in preventing and enforcing the idea that felons and the mentally incompetent should not have weapons. You would think all would agree on that. That will also be hard enough without the fears of both extremes, however sincere and intense the extremes may be.
