The press won’t acknowledge their existence but there’s a huge number of Sanders 2016 supporters who know they got defrauded, know about the Deep State, and are angry as hell.

“The Democrats and their supportive media outlets (CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times) have been saying for a year that Trump and his campaign likely colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election, that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will eventually find proof of it, and that Trump will, as a result, get impeached.”

Some honesty. I noticed the absence of a similarly worded “Republicans and their supportive media outlets”.

I never had a heart either, according to this politician.

I just devoted most of my adult life serving the needs of others, in or out of ministry.

“I am an ordinary voter living far from the Beltway who feels gaslighted by our political and media establishments regarding the Russia investigation.”

Stop using the trendy word “gaslight” and say what it means, manipulation.

I blame Buckley and Firing Line when I was 10.

I volunteer like crazy. One of the best part of life! Still at Walter Reed.

***But I sense a bigger problem on the Democratic side, both among ordinary Democrats and prominent left-leaning pundits. In the Trump era, many seem unable to grasp irony and facts as it applies to their own side. For instance, when they talk about Trump violating the rule of law or obstructing justice, don’t they realize that some of us are thinking: Yes, but where were you when the FBI didn’t apply the rule of law to Hillary Clinton, and why didn’t you object when Hillary obstructed justice by deleting emails under subpoena? Shouldn’t the rule of law apply to everyone?***

I’m a little surprised she actually considers herself a Democrat. If she asked the hierarchy, they would tell her that she was never a TRUE Democrat with thoughts like the above.

I know Glenn Beck isn’t the most popular guy here, but he has said on teh air that liberals he’s talked to have told him privately that they’re more scared of their own side (the left) than anyone on our side.

This article seems to bear that out.

“If you are not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.”

Guess I have been heartless all my life.

If this is the case, why is this person still a demo_rat? This is what demo_rats do when they are out of power in an attempt to get back into power.

Change parties or at least leave the demo_rats and never vote demo_rat again.

Nice piece, but don’t sit by the phone - she won’t be getting any offers from Big Media.

“Then you aren’t really a Democrat; are you? Not for long, anyway.”

I bet she is, which is what’s refreshing. She probably believes in gay marriage, abortion, government run healthcare, etc.

With those beliefs, she fits the definition of Democrat, and still agrees with them on those core issues. What she cannot take is her party not even talking about them, or fighting about them, but instead harping on Trump. It will be tough for her to pull the lever for the Democrats in November, even though she probably has all her life, until now. She’ll just sit it out.

This is a VERY GOOD SIGN.

Most of them are ignorant narcissists that believe they are part of the “smart” party.
there is no help for them except convincing them that there is a smarter party to sooth their over-inflated ego.
