President Trump on Tuesday cast the states that are suing to block his declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border as being “led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left,” as he made his first public comments on Monday’s action.

In morning tweets, Trump incorrectly said that the lawsuit, which seeks to prevent him from funding border barriers without congressional consent, was brought by cities, rather than states. He corrected the error about an hour later.

Trump also noted that he had predicted during an event in the Rose Garden last week that an action would be brought in the federal judiciary’s 9th Circuit, where courts have often ruled against the administration.

“As I predicted, 16 cities, led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left, have filed a lawsuit in, of course, the 9th Circuit!” Trump wrote. “California, the state that has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train, with no hope of completion, seems in charge!”

1. Hey Donnie

STFU!!!

[forgotmylogin]

3. Yeah, maybe McDonald should do his job instead of setting up golf simulators. (n/t)

2. That is where they are going, they are going to scream radical left and socialism until they

can't talk any more. Most Americans don't know what socialism means, they don't know what we currently spend our money on, like the military, and corporate tax breaks. They will be easily swayed by ads by pacs showing us all as crazy leftie socialists. Using socialist like communist in dark ads to scare the masses.

4. I don't think socialism is as scary as it used to be.

It's been 30 years since the fall of the Soviet Union, and "Communist" China is a capitalist powerhouse.

7. I disagree, I live in the middle of the country I hear people say they are frightened

of "socialism". We have to win nationally to get rid of 45, this type of campaign against us might work if we are not careful in hitting back. I think we need ads to show clearly what we are for, and what liberals have been for during the history of our country. We have to go against the Fox news machine.

8. Yes that's true and we still aren't going to win very red areas

But we don't need to, we just need to pick up a few voters in those areas. I think a candidate who speaks to their needs will get those voters.

I saw a graphic of the 2018 election showing the blue shift of every district in the country. Almost all districts shifted blue, even very red ones. The right candidate can continue the trend and win.

9. But we need Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Not just the urban areas either. We could lose my home state of Illinois if we lose all of downstate. It is easy to forget about "the rest of the country" when all we hear is the two coasts. As long as the electoral college is still the lay of the land, we need to worry about the states I have talked about.

11. I think we will win back the Midwest, except perhaps Ohio

Blue shift was very strong in Midwestern states. They are not happy with Trump.

[redstatebluegirl]

12. If we go to the far left of our party, it will be to the Republicans like Trump is to us.

It will get out the vote in droves. I just hope we don't get cocky thinking 2018 gave us a free pass to do what we want. We need the White House and the Senate if we want to really stop the destruction of our country.

13. I think traditional the left/right dichotomy is breaking down

and a new one emerging. A democrat who focuses on certain key issues could win. I like Klobuchar's economic message. Also, she doesn't want to abolish ICE, which I think is the right move. If she comes up with a comprehensive immigration reform package and sells it well, she could win.

16. Unless Sherrod Brown is nominated.....

18. PA shouldn't necessarily be an issue going forward

assuming you don't see more of the likes of Jill Stein siphoning off votes. 2016 was the first time since 1988 that PA voted for a GOP President and the margin was only 44,000 votes out of 6.1 million cast here (Stein got 49,000).

PA also gained 4 new Democratic Congressional seats in 2018 after the gerrymandering was thrown out and both the state House and state Senate had Democratic seat gains as well!

20. It isn't as scary. Republicans call EVERYTHING they don't like "socialism"

How long before opposition to throwing virgins into volcanoes to appease the Dow and the "Blessed Job Creators" becomes SOCIALISM in the eyes of Republicans?

[turbinetree]

5. I am and I will always be the RADICAL LEFT.......................

and not a TRAITOR from the right ever....................I do not put party over country...................I put country over party................... traitor........................

Now go and sit in the corner until I say you can leave and do your play time.........................

6. If you can't argue on issues/ideas then resort to name calling. It has worked for some like Trump,

I hope Americans are smart enough to see through it.

10. Trump's definition of "Radical Left" "anyone who believes in the Constitution"

Or maybe, "anyone who has actually read and understood the Constitution."

[KPN]

14. What's radical is Trump. We should as a whole be labeling him and the entire GOP circus in place

right now as "radical, extremist, far-right-wing fascists". Repeatedly, all the time, every opportunity we as a party get. It's accurate and true.

[ananda]

15. Count this radical leftie in!

[The Liberal Lion]

17. What does one do when the person in the White House

encourages, pushes and perhaps even expects civil chaos?

[catbyte]

19. I'm so proud that my Governor & Attorney General are now considered "radical leftists!"

Thank you, Governor Whitmer & AG Nessel.

21. "out of control"?

That would be you, Traitor Donnie.
