Left progressive approach, it was painful because i found very little other than the platitudes that we can all agree with very painful to see this president sort of stick with the program that could never get passed up here in washington. >> i just find it odd to hear a trump supporter make the case for normalcy. i think we have the most abnormal political situation we have had and i think in large part because of the conduct of president-elect trump as a candidate and now as a president-elect ...
