France is experiencing the results of the marriage between leftists, a fanatical religion and a foreign invasion. This country in this election season has the same marriage in play.

For some reason we refuse to learn from the experience of others thinking somehow it will be different here. We ignore the comments of Piker, Omar, Syed and others including a U.S. senator (Slotkin) that just yesterday said we should jail those who work for Trump to intimidate anyone that may go against her party.

The electorate is so conditioned in many places that their hatred of the president will override any reason and they ignore the harm to the nation that these people running for office will inflict on us as long as they have a D next to their name.

And what are their policies or solutions? It does not matter. They are Democrats so they must be intelligent, honorable and experienced. And regardless of their same old policies that have always failed, this time they will work. Just look at Illinois and the last eight years of business and population growth, taxes and pension liabilities.
