Democrats childish behavior is appalling

After watching the State of the Union speech delivered on Feb. 4, I was appalled at the behavior of the Democrats. As a former Democrat myself, I was embarrassed by the childish response to issues like employment, fighting crime & terrorism, and lifting up people of color, evoked from the Party that claims to be the champions of such issues.

If these issues are truly laudable, it shouldn't matter that Trump did it despite the opposition of the Democratic Party, who have done nothing these last four years but to oppose him on every level.

Now the Democrats have soiled the Iowa caucuses process by using a Hillary-connected company's defective app for caucus tallying, we are left wondering if there is anything that they can do to improve conditions for the American working class.
