Quotes About Democrats

It's an old story; it's as old as our history. The difference between Democrats and Republicans has always been measured in courage and confidence.

Trump is popular, Trump is big precisely because Republican voters are angry at establishment Republicans.

Why don't Republicans spend all their airtime attacking the media for lying about what Obama's amnesty does and what the Democrats are doing?

If a Republican majority in both houses of Congress can't stop Obama from issuing illegal immigrants Social Security cards and years of back welfare payments, there is no reason to vote Republican ever again.
