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....

given the hollowed out pile of smoking rubble that is today’s Democrat party, rabble in the streets is about they have! Mob rule fits them so well!

Not to mention, exactly HOW will they choose whom to "fight out in the streets" on a normal sunshine-filled day?

- The first motorist with a nice car not festooned with dumb bumperstickers?
- The first attractive and feminine-looking woman they see?
- The first masculine man buying coffee and a newspaper?
- The first person of either gender who does not reek of their signature stink of body odor mixed with patchouli oil?

It is an utterly silly and absolutely irresponsible thing to say, Senator Tim Kaine.

Even though he hadn’t been there that long, Kaine is just another great example of why term limits are necessary.

Also, if for nothing else than to prove you THINK you have a chance to win, if you are the selected person to run for a higher office, you should quit your present position in order to give yourself plenty of time to prepare yourself for the next office AND let someone replace you that will look out for your constituents while you are looking out for yourself.

Politically, there was a lot(for me) not to like about Bob Dole, but he took that exact tack.

I considered it a Manly position to take.

This is such a wonderfully bad strategy only the GOPe could manage to drop the ball here. But Trump won't. While these privileged anarchists are protesting not bringing in terrorists and illegals, Trump will be working with Trade unions, blue collar people and blacks to increase Americans at work. At the next election, when blacks look around and think, "who was working for me?", the answer won't be Kaine, or BLM, or democrats, or the GOPe. It will be Trump.

Of course, that is why I specified politically.

I try to give ALL - regardless of party - Vets the benefit of the doubt, even Liberals till they prove otherwise.. ie JF’nKerry, Murtha to name a couple...

This from a limp wristed clown who can’t satisfy his old lady (open marriage) and doesn’t look like he could punch his way out of a wet paper bag!

They want war, they’ll get war.

Gun and ammo sales have not diminished since Pres. Trump was elected. He won’t solve these hideous divisions, and may have to be the one to lead us into battle.
