(2,897 posts)The moment they donate to a candidate that candidate gets branded as an establishment insider funded by the coastal elite. The moment they disagree w/ any Democratic policy they get branded as the evil 1% only thinking for themselves.

Do you want them to be issuing daily press releases responding to Trump's actions?
