The Case To Be Made

Given The Fact That Poverty Is Growing, More And More Americans Are Losing Health Insurance, Health Care Costs Are Going Up, The Middle Class Is Shrinking, The Gap Between The Rich And The Poor Is Growing Wider. That Speaks To The Weakness Of The Opposition. People Do Not Like George W. Bush. But I Think It's Fair To Say That They Are Not Flocking To The Democratic Party, Or See The Democrats As A Real Alternative.

Demagogues Like [donald] Trump Come Along. He Says I Know What The Cause Is. Remember, Later, The Cause Was That Mexicans Who Are Coming To This Country, Well, They Were Criminals Or Rapists. Now It Is Muslims.

People Understand That The Economy Is Rigged. They're Working Longer Hours For Low Wages. All New Income And Wealth, Almost All, Is Going To The People On Top.

Do Not Tell Me That I Have Not Shown Courage In Standing Up To The Gun People, In Voting To Ban Assault Weapons, Voting For Instant Background Checks, Voting To End The Gun Show Loophole And Now In A Position To Create A Consensus In America On Gun Safety.

I'm Not Really Opposed To People Changing Their Minds. I'm Much More Concerned With People Who Never Change Their Minds No Matter What New Information Is Available.
