2. "They are trying to change the rules by breaking the rules"
Subverting the constitution. Their behavior is the definition of tyranny. Doing away with separation of powers. Doing away with checks and balances. We swore to uphold the Constitution, not president or party.

This is making me pretty sad that a man this intelligent, informed and passionate about his government is not the president.

Talking about how shocked people were when one Republican went off the script (Bolton nomination) and how sad that is.

15. "if the value of truth hadn't been so diminished over the past few years"
Right on JK :patriot: "no accountability..." "any means justify the ends" "if you can't win on the strength of your arguments, go ahead and demonize your opponents" He's really dishing it out!

19. George Orwell is vindicated but I doubt he's pleased.
He was a true prophet of doom.

29. yes, I was at the front of the huge rally in Madison WI and he was
speaking like this, without notes, for over 35 minutes. For those 35 minutes I really felt like the world was gonna be in good hands again. 6 days later the dream was destroyed.

36. I didn't think he used many unreasonably "big" words
And I'm a highschool educated person. It's not like he can go "Republicans BAD, we GOOD..." I personally found him much more engaging than he was on the campaign trail. It's clearly something he really feels.
