Kaine: Democrats Have To "Fight In The Streets" Against Trump
Real Clear Politics ^ | January 31, 2017 | Tim Hains

Posted on 01/31/2017 12:13:13 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Democrats must take advantage of "public outcry against the [Trump] administration]." Kaine said Democrats must fight back in Congress, the courts, and in the streets.

"What we've got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there's the momentum to be able to do this," Kaine said to Democrats. "And we're not afraid of the popular outcry, we're energized by it and that's going to help us do our job and do it better."

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: So, broad question about the future of the Democratic Party, especially given your firsthand experience with what we've all been through. There's so much going on here that we clearly see, you know, places where you -- we can criticize what the administration is doing, but how does the party rebuild? How do you prevent overreach in a situation like this? How do you prevent a continuation of the bubble in a situation like this, and how does the party reclaim its reach across the country while fighting these battles?

SEN. KAINE: Well, let me talk about continuation of the bubble, Mika. This is something I'm so excited about. I saw that Howard Dean tweeted at me the other day, "Tim, the base is getting ahead of the leaders." That's exactly backward. We are so excited that the American public is energized to speak out against the abuses of this administration....

Like my oldest said last night before he deployed. He is in the Marine Corps.

Give us 24 hours leave with these protesters hand to hand , and let us the Marines deal with them.

Yet another wannabe aristocrat ordering a children’s crusade which will end in the usual slaughter of the children sent to war.

These intellectually-inbred, thumb sucking sacks of idiocy have no clue the hell that is going to come down on them.

Decent people hold back from violence but only for so long. Keep provoking and the degenerates will find that decent people also tend to be very comprehensive in dealing with whatever/whomever provokes them enough.

Isn’t that a call to open rebellion and anarchy?

Treason even?

“That’s not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections and we’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. President Obama said the other day that when you’re whining before the game is even finished it just shows you’re not even up to doing the job.”
- Hillary Clinton (three months ago!)

I could find similar quotes from almost every leading democrat, including almost every prominent journalist. It’s a shame Loser Kaine doesn’t listen to his fellow democrats, including himself.

Tim, is this the hill you want to die on?

Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.

Right now, Donald Trump is most definitely the leader. Only two options remain.

It may be worthy to note, that if you are going to take a shot at the King, you better the hell not miss. Otherwise, never try for the shot.

Trump has more than proven, that he is pretty adroit in not being an easy target.
