If you haven't figured this out, I've been able to differentiate and I have been differentiating between the traditional Democratic base voters and the blue/green voters who are using the Democratic party. My beef is not with and has never been with the traditional Democratic voters. The Republican beef is not with them either. The beef is with the leadership of the voters who identify with the color blue.

You see, the blue leadership doesn't seem to actually believe in democracy or the US Constitution. I dunno, what would you call a system of government that's basically ruled by a group of liberals, a panel of liberal judges who aren't elected officials who have been given the power to eliminate peoples rights with the stroke of a pen. I think every Democratic voter should be viewing and following our exchanges so they understand what's at stake for them if they allow this liberal/ blue trend and the liberal/ blue dominance to continue within the Democratic party. Bob seems to bounce back & forth between traditional Democratic beliefs and rhetoric and blue beliefs and rhetoric (communist, socialist, fascist, dictatorship of some sort). Well, if that's what blues want then the blues better start preparing themselves and preparing their followers for a war with THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that will be fought within Blue America that will be fully supported by Red America.

That's rich!  We have a single party, the GOP, that has a horrible record for managing "democratic norms":

• They ran a 7-year investigation that wandered all over the place, then impeached a President for lying about having sex with an intern, yet they wail like babies about a 17-month investigation of the current President
  
• They had a President anointed by their conservative Supreme Court who actually lost an election, then got us involved in two wars that continue to this day
  
• And now, they are running interference for a President who may have conspired with Russia to capture the job he currently holds
  
• They also wail about the mistreatment of their SCOTUS appointments, though their chief complaints there center on Robert Bork, who triggered the Saturday Night Massacre under Nixon, and a few clearly incapable appointees.
  

For 30 years, the Dems have gotten far fewer appointments than they should have statistically.  The court has been solidly conservative since Nixon appointed four to the court … Nixon who was the only President to resign in shame.  Now, we have the spectacle of this bizarre President having appointed one to the court that was held for him by the GOP-dominated Senate, and is prepared to nominate another extreme RW judge -- both confirmed by simple majority.  But, according to you, it's the Democrats who are dictatorial.  Yeah, right!

He was impeached for lying under oath (which he did) and he was acquitted by the Senate as a means to prevent civil unrest. Had he been straight  up and honest like he should have been, he would have been fine and left office less tarnished. Nixon got caught for doing what LBJ did and got away with for several years before him. LBJ had little to no shame either. Who knows what else he could have accomplished had he demonstrated to the American people that he had the capabilities necessary to win a war like good old FDR. He didn't measure up to FDR in that department so he was done as President of the United States of America.
