My decision to be a Democrat was never a decision. It was just expected of me. It was understood.

I agree he should seek a House seat first and get experience. But he certainly has got their number, thus this quote:
“The Democrat party is not the party of tolerance. It is not the party of acceptance. It is the party of intolerance. It is the party of closed doors, but open borders. It is the party of judgement. It is the party of identity politics.”
It’s the Democrat Thug Party.
I’m VERY familiar with that, having been on the receiving end for years.
His parents are just horrible people, like all leftists.

Benjamin Franklin and his illegitimate son William were on opposite sides of the revolution. They suffered an irrevocable spilt, with the son leaving for England after the war. In fairness, it was the father who never overcame the acrimony.
