    Without a Democracy there's no sorting anything out. This Election, Democracy IS on the ballot. Vote D for Democracy not Dictatorship.
  • To quote Former President Theodore Roosevelt: "No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor." "The judges who administer justice in our countries must be seen as ethical and subject to meaningful correction when it is necessary. Nothing less than the rule of law is at stake."
  • Charlie Dent: "I want to look beyond my burning house, and have a conversation about the imaginary past"
  • It's no longer the Republican party. It's the Trump Party now and they should have their own party ticket.
  • The dude is upset about student loan forgiveness… that has helped millions of hard working Americans who’ve suffocated under awful debt… would be happy to bail out corporations and give billionaires more subsidies , tax breaks and hand outs.
  • @okabayashijoe
    Dent wants to look beyond 2024 - he better hope there's a democracy left to look forward beyond 2024. Promoting neutrality over voting for Biden puts his "vision" at risk!
  • The rift you speak of should have started and ended within weeks, the moment that wretch announced. I have absolutely no sympathy for any Republican. They invited all of this.
  • Republicans, if you want the American people to truthfully believe in you, dump Trump, and restore your honour.
  • @gingw7333
    What my little corner of the American public wants is corporate America and it's obscene amount of money the heck out of politics.

    In the GOP primary presidential debate, Nikki Haley claimed that Trump added $8 trillion to the national debt while DeSantis said that Trump added $7.8 trillion to the debt. These statements are true, depending on how you measure additions to the debt. We estimate the ten-year cost of the legislation and executive actions Trump signed into law was about $8.4 trillion, with interest. A better way to measure how much Trump added to the debt is to evaluate the ten-year debt impact of the laws and executive orders he signed. We estimate that those added a combined $8.4 trillion to the debt over a ten-year period – consistent with Haley’s claim. US BUDGET WATCH 2024.

    Kinzinger is right. We are voting for the least suckiest candidate. In the privacy of the voting booth where others can't see them, a lot of people are NOT going to vote for Trump.
  • Go away, Dent. You have NOTHING to demand! It's democracy, or not on the ballot.
  • @marka5069
    How in the World can anyone support Trump with a moral character of this man?
  • A vote for trump is nothing more than a vote for Putin. Wise up America.
  • @afry6400
    I don't think Kinzinger is the first to decide to cross the isle but I do think he's the first to go public about it.
