but hey, I'm fooling myself thinking that any of the republican senators/house reps even care about what a normal everyday American thinks. Like some have said here on DU, I think that they all are brought and paid for, by the 1%ers and the Russians. Pathetic. Everyone of them should be hauled out of office.

That this one deserves the chant is the most disturbing thing of all. He has sullied the time in office of all of his 44 predecessors.

His existence besmirches our nation.

For one thing, "someone" has lowered the bar on political speech in general. Playing nice will not cut it for 2020. We should be as good as we can be but we should not be foolish.

Also, in the future when all of the things have come out that will come out, we that are left alive will look at "lock him up" as very charitable. Sad.

knowledgeable crowd. Aware of Trump's false words and actions they repeated his rally cry back to him.

It is their right to confront their elected official when that person is obviously disrespecting America's laws, image and
security. Trump is not being aligned. He is a proven liar and is deceiving us.

I suppose the kids in cages, separated from their parents, just need to understand that what they're going through is disturbing, offensive, or unconventional. Same goes for the Kurds, dying in the desert like they are. The other victims of the Trump administration should know that you're having a hard time with a popular outpouring of approbation for President Trump. It's so good to know that, Senator. It'll give some perspective to the people in California watching their state go up in flames; get them outside their own little personal problems.
