Dystopian Democrats offer nothing positive

Following the Democrat presidential candidates' debate of Tuesday, Oct. 15, Rush Limbaugh called it a 'dystopian” debate. Rush was right again, as he is 99.34 percent of the time.
Impeach Trump! We will raise your taxes! We will take your guns away! Free college and health care for all! Nothing positive, unless you are the unrealistic type. Never mind addressing poverty, illegal immigration, urban crime and decay, drugs, or all of us having only 11 more years to live!
Why not change the name of the Democrat party to the 'dis-ocrat party?” Their party's leadership and candidates appear to be dysfunctional, discombobulated, disingenuous and disrespectful. The leftists and radicals now leading the Democrat party drink generously of their anger-filled Kool-Aid. If you are a moderate liberal, your political party left you three years ago. Now what? Walk away. JFK surely would have.
Meanwhile, Trump rallies across the country are parties filled with Hillary's disparaged deplorables numbering tens of thousands and watched by millions of others. We are happy, proud and loyal American patriots who celebrate making America great again and want to keep America great! There's always room for moderates at our 'party.”
We measure our candidates by 'promises made” and 'promises kept.” We expect results not pandering rhetoric. President Donald Trump has kept his campaign promises like no other president ever before him.
