These white supremacists, neo-Nazis and/or Holocaust deniers are running as Republicans. Coincidence? I think not. Your Republican Party. In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above. Racial animus helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump. Since the end of the civil rights movement and under Republican strategist Lee Atwater’s “Southern strategy” that used racism as an unstated cudgel against Democrats, the Republican Party itself has played a welcoming host to racial tensions and fears. Simultaneously, it has depicted itself, as conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby put it in 2012, as “the party of color-blind equality and “a party that doesn’t think with its skin.” www.vox.com/2018/7/9/17525860/nazis-russell-walker-arthur-jones-republicans-illinois-north-carolina-virginia

“He comes down for the day, and whatever he saw on 'Fox and Friends,' he schedules meetings based on that”
America will never be a socialist country but this is how our Republican President sets his agenda.

Your Republican Party is led by an Alex Jones conspiracy nut. InfoWars host Alex Jones claimed this week that President Donald Trump both requests and receives transcripts of his show. Jones’s comments came as he faces backlash for a segment of his show in which he claimed without evidence that Robert Mueller, the special counsel heading up the investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 election, was part of a child-sex ring and mimicked shooting him. www.newsweek.com/alex-jones-donald-trump-infowars-1045981During the last presidential campaign, after Mr. Jones had been spouting vicious nonsense about Sandy Hook for years, Donald Trump appeared on his show to tell him: “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.” But Mr. Trump has truly done Mr. Jones proud as the potential legal peril the president faces from the special counsel’s investigation has broadened and deepened. With the files of his chief fixer, Michael Cohen, in the hands of investigators, and Mr. Cohen’s future cooperation with the special counsel a strong possibility, one can feel the panic as the president promotes one bizarre claim after another about the inquiry. www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/opinion/trump-alex-jones-conspiracy.html

Your Republican Party. Own it. The links among Vladimir Putin, President Trump, and segments of both the Republican Party and the American conservative movement seem bizarre. How can this be, given the Russian president’s KGB pedigree and a Cold War history during which antipathy toward the Soviet Union held the right together? In a prescient March 2017 article in Time magazine, Alex Altman and Elizabeth Dias detailed Russia’s “new alliances with leading U.S. evangelicals, lawmakers and powerful interest groups like the NRA.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/russia-and-the-far-rights-cozy-affair/2018/07/29/95390a3e-91b3-11e8-8322-b5482bf5e0f5_story.html?utm_term=.4ba37a27f9c7Russia is equally keen on cultivating links to Republicans. Some of the officials who attended the dinner--including a deputy central banker and former Russian senator named Alexander Torshin, and his protégée, a young gun-rights activist named Maria Butina--have been part of a years-long campaign to build connections between Russia's leaders and American conservatives. The crusade, which predates the rise of Trump, has garnered scant attention but achieved significant success, sparking new alliances with leading U.S. evangelicals, lawmakers and powerful interest groups like the NRA. time.com/4696424/moscow-right-kremlin-republicans/

If I was doing stuff like this, I would definitely be afraid of a young lady in the Bronx who runs on a platform designed to help struggling Americans...
TRUMP’S TAX CUTS DIDN’T BENEFIT U.S. WORKERS, MADE RICH COMPANIES RICHER, ANALYSIS FINDS
America will never be a socialist country but Republicans do stuff like this on a regular basis...

In case you're wondering the surplus was provided by a Democrat and the 1.1 trillion deficit is provided by a Republican.... In a bull market...
Paul Ryan used to walk around with a printout of the national debt in his pocket, then Donald Trump became President.

Not the Onion...They should rename "Universal Healthcare" "Tax Cuts for the Rich" since somehow Republicans always manage to find the cash for that....

Your Republican Party - No Catholicism showing? "Every day in courtrooms around this country, the children of American citizens are separated from their parents by operation of law. In Kamalaland, the children of non -citizens deserve more protection." After all, despite once declaring themselves the party of family values, Republican politicians have more recently ceded this territory. The GOP is now the party of state-sanctioned child abuse, of taking health care away from poor children, of leaving young immigrant “dreamers” in legal limbo. It is GOP policy, and GOP policy alone, that has ripped thousands of immigrant children from their parents and locked them in cages, where they cannot be held or comforted when they cry. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-winning-theme-for-democrats-kids/2018/07/30/d3ae8cf2-942f-11e8-80e1-00e80e1fdf43_story.html?utm_term=.1706a921324f

Your Republican Party believes an extra 100 billion in tax relief is what these guys need?? elvado Yes, you should be very terrified of the young lady from the Bronx who's running on a platform designed to give these hard working low and middle income Americans a raise...

32.6 Trillion for the “Medicare for All” plan she favors.
That scares the hell out of me.
If we have learned anything In this country, it is that nothing is free. Not free college, not free healthcare, not free anything.
It is cost-shifting plain and simple.

Not free college, not free healthcare, not free anything. It is cost-shifting plain and simple. So since Republicans always manage to find a trillion here or there for giveaways to their donor class, should a I vote for more tax cuts for the wealthy, or for increasing access to healthcare for me and my family? 🤔 I'm also trying to figure out what's more scary. The deficit/debt you managed to forget exists since Trump became President, or not having healthcare available for you and your family? 🤔 So I get why you are scared of her because yours is not a winning argument. They've already shifted wealth in this country from the middle class to the wealthy over the last 40 years. It's way too tilted towards the rich already. Despite that, you guys just exploded the deficit to give the wealthiest american's a trillion dollar tax cut. So nobody in the middle or below cares that it's a cost shifting plan when the cost it's shifting is perceived to be off their back. As you said about the tax cuts: "I vote with my wallet". So assume they will do the same. Americans already spend 3.5 trillion a year on healthcare, and the koch study was for 10 years. 35 trillion is more than 32 trillion.. For all the talk about coastal elites, how out of touch do you have to be to believe a person struggling to get by cares about what you mentioned above over their family's access to healthcare. You wouldn't feel that way, and neither do they. So I get why you're scared of her message..

Morning: Brags he made the Koch brothers richer... Evening: Shows he understands what Americans face on a daily basis by proving he's never bought a gallon of milk for himself... Every single day: elvado This reminds me of the fact that Republicans gave a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy while they were trying to strip healthcare from the poor. If my party was being lead by an out of touch Billionaire who brags about making the Republican donor class richer while real wages for low and middle class Americans have fallen into the negative territory (-.03), I'd be scared too...

[L]et’s not be surprised when 35 percent or so of voters consistently tell pollsters that the president is the victim of a witch hunt or that they agree with every policy position and action he takes. Trump fans’ politics is not the politics of rationality, considered judgment or empirical observation. Blind hatred and unthinking boorishness are not moderated by new facts or observable phenomena. We should stop marveling as his “success” in holding his base as if this were a reflection of his political skill, let alone the efficacy of his policies. Rather, the unbreakable and unblinking devotion of his unhinged base is confirmation that he now must rely on support from people oblivious to reality. www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/08/01/trumps-tampa-circus-proves-you-cant-reason-with-his-base/?utm_term=.fcbfcf7e9afe
