Rather, he missed a golden opportunity to try to unite the country. I think he should have held out an olive branch to Blue-Dog Democrats and try to get them to abandon the Socialists who are trying to take over the party.
I don’t think we need unity. We need to call out the enemies of freedom on this day of freedom. Unity is overrated and is misunderstood. Trump did the right thing.
What Blue-Dog Democrats?
There are crazy Democrats and Crazier Democrats.
There are no “Moderate” Democrats.
This person obviously did not listen to/watch the same speech President Trump gave, last night. The blue dogs need to wake up and see what’s happened/is happening to their party ... the commies are taking over. POTUS addressed this, clearly.
For those who missed this historic and epic speech, here is a link to the transcript ....

Who are the Blue Dog Democrats? The trannies? The infanticide people? The human fetal tissue (HFT) market people? The open border people? Who?
Flush out your head gear dude.
Haven’t you heard? The left has absolutely NO desire to unite.
They hate America and want to burn it down from the inside out.
What that commie mayor in NYC said yesterday is a perfect example.
Only Fetterman.
Agree.
Unity with who? With communists? Or people who hate our country and us?
I'm not saying it's going to work with most of them, but many don't hate the USA like the Socialists do.
And I did watch the speech. I likes the anti-commie points, but what can be done. We need some cross-overs. Some Dem commentators have seen the light, warning the party (Harold Ford, etc).
He should’ve trashed islam just as much as communism, but that’s always a forbidden topic in US government to mention.
Trump should roll out the red carpet for the Democrats. With plenty of bear traps under it.
The teacher unions. Lol.
The same Democrats that impeached him twice for nothing.
He’s uniting the Patriots. Don’t live under some delusion that you can Unite with communists
Harold Ford Jr.???
That dude is just a softer spoken obama.
His whole schtick is every problem there is, is Trump’s fault, the Republicans fault or both parties are the problem.
It’s NEVER just Democrats fault alone.
He’s just like Jessica tarlov just not as obnoxious.
And that isn’t
According to rating sites, my Congressman is effectively a "moderate" Democrat, but he calls himself "Republican" (Brian Fitzpatrick). He is one of the most liberal Republicans in the House, and one of the most conservative Democrats which goes to show how deep the divide is. It didn't used to be that bad.
“There are crazy Democrats and Crazier Democrats.
There are no “Moderate” Democrats.”
The Social Democrat holds the gun. The moderate Democrat holds the camera.
The 4th is not about unity, it is about freedom from opressive government.
