Robert Reich: Yesterday I spoke with a former Republican member of Congress

He: Trump is a maniac. He’s a clear and present danger to America.
Me: Have you said publicly that you won’t vote for him?
He (sheepishly): No.
Me: Why not?
He: I’m a coward.

I haven't put out a HILLARY sign because I just dont need to worry about just one whack job busting out my front window or some other act of violence. My wife is really concerned about it. We have a middle school aged daughter so we've agreed to use code to refer to our shotgun. I'd,we need to refer to it we are calling it "bread".

These baggers love socialism when they see it as income, defense contractor (retired military) and a state cop, but hate paying for other township employees.


They constantly rail against teachers, police, firefighters and township workers since that is money they pay.


If I put up a Trump/Putin lawn sign, I know something would happen to my house or cars. The funny thing, this year, they are not puting up their lawn signs either--but we all know who they will vote for.

reading the comments under that post.

The bad news is that there are people who will persist in their deplorable behavior, no matter what.

The good news is that there are more of us than them.

Cowards, always have been. The only bravery they show is to ship young people off to fight for them.
