(7,867 posts)Stop worrying about what "motivates" the deplorables -- they are going to vote regardless.
We need to start worrying about what motivates OUR voters -- we outnumber them and all we have to do is get out the vote.
Ted Lieu is certainly a motivator for OUR side.

They are a MINORITY. WE are the majority. Start acting like it. Stop getting the shivers every time they jump. Ignore them. Focus on OUR game. WE are the strong ones, Act like it.

(2,795 posts)The OP is about Ted Lieu saying if Dems get the house they will investigate everything Kavanaugh. That was what I responded to not Russian hacking.

I hope you take that out canvassing with you. I'm sure you'll win over a lot of people.

(2,064 posts)These are people who used to be reliably republican.
Not any more.
That kind of rhetoric may not be helpful in the Tennessee senate race, but it is likely to pick up a few house districts, like VA-7 that have been red, but have a large suburban component.

(297,249 posts)trump.. it's the Russians who helped him steal the election and now the scotus that will be calling the shots. Not to mention trump's doormats in the senate and the house.
We Have to Win in November.. then maybe we can see about being on the road to "fine".

(2,795 posts)That's why no passing legislation to protect the investigation. All of those dirty republicans would benefit if that investigation got shut down.

I want to see him investigated by the Dems.

(2,146 posts)Why not file a compliant in Maryland where LE can investigate and PROSECUTE and open this up fully?
I think we both know why...I know why.
