You think it's still a progressive country?
I think that nothing is determined, but that the number of people who have a strong belief in a fair, just, equal, inclusive America is the majority and is growing.
And part of the challenge, though, that we do have, and this is something that I've been chewing on for a while now, is that there is a cohort of working-class white voters that voted for me in sizable numbers, but that we've had trouble getting to vote for Democrats in midterm elections. In this election, [they] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we're on the ground, we do well. This is why I won Iowa. . .

NTL REVIEW/BY DAVID HANSON----The immigrant Muslim Boston Bomber brothers---riding the US gravy train....accompanied by virtually every family member--- offer us a teachable moment about what has become near- suicidal US immigration policies.
LAWS CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS BEING RELENTLESSLY VIOLATED:
(1) foreign nationals in the US must at least avoid criminal activity,
(2) foreigners must stay off public assistance,
(3) the US govt is disinclined to grant "asylum" (means a free ride on the US gravy train and endless SS payments) to fearful refugees from war-torn Islamic regions,
(4) on-the-book govt mandates that force struggling taxpayers to foot the bill for the refugees to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.

Isn't it strange (smirk)?
Theyre always whining they're running out of SS money for working Americans who put in money for years.....
Theyre always whining they're running out of pension money aging working Americans put in for years.
Theyre always whining they're running out of Medicare money aging working Americans put in for years.
BUT....
They n-e-v-e-r e-v-e-r seem to run out of tax dollars to fund sanctuary cities, welfare and food stamps, education and healthcare, endless SS payments and EITC checks for these parasitic immigrants.
All of them on our soil illegally....money-guzzling creeps who never put a dime into the system.
Jan Wenner — that old fart. All the dope has gone to his head.
Spot on!
