I understand, but protesting is all we can do when we face court injustice. If I was there, and I'm glad I wasn't, I would have been happy to protest for Trump, but I would have stayed outside and wouldn't enter a building that I wasn't invited to.

If you go to a bank with a friend and your friend decides to rob the bank
while you're there, how guilty are you?

I realize that we have a long to-do list for a great leader, but the media has a lot of people stirred up about the border. Trump has been somewhat clear about how he wants to handle that. He hasn't been clear about how he will "cut your utility bills in half." I believe what he's saying, but I can't expect certain moderates to just take his word for it the same way I do.

These are good observations, and I see it this way also. She can act smart suddenly, but what's smart about the past 4 years?
