for the democratic party. we ve got to get back. now, as a political analyst, what trump could have done is taken over this country. i mean, both parties. if he had come to the country not with a divisive healthcare plan that hammers the middle class or tax break for billionaires but instead with the infrastructure plan that he promised, a trillion dollars to rebuild roads and bridges so the crisis of low-wage workers. wholly agree. of guys and gals that want the work and don t have it, by the way, which is every community of color and white folks. right. he could have united this country, but he doesn t have it in him. he doesn t have the character do it, that s the problem. i wish there were an honesty camera on everyone s face here when everyone s talking because a lot of the times you yell at each other on camera and then you nod in agreement when someone else is talking. and drey bauer you are a donald trump supporter but are were agreeing with paul when he said what the
