    Ordinary Republicans, like ordinary Democrats are not politicians and do not work for the corrupt bipartisan political class.

    Corker and Flake are both unelectable now. Flake was at 18% approval as of 10/15. Corker was so unpopular by then that he decided not to face the voters.

    “But there is one crucial difference between the two: Mr. Flake, unlike Mr. Corker, is running for re-election. And now he finds himself in grave political peril.

    Mr. Flake is perhaps the most endangered Senate Republican, with an approval rating in one recent poll of just 18 percent among Arizonans. Mr. Trump has savaged Mr. Flake as “toxic” and a “flake,” and has encouraged a primary challenge against him that has left the senator squeezed not only from the left but also the right.

    His fate is an object lesson for other Republicans who might consider voicing dire thoughts about the president’s fitness: Cross Mr. Trump, and your political career could well be over.”

    Nobody protests about folks who fight, attack and point weapons at police and get shot. We are talking about folks who are unarmed and end up dead who are no threat to police.

    The goal was to remove Saddam as established in the 1998 ILA. The goal was again to do that and then hold free and open national elections as established in the 2003 ATUMF. Those goals were met. al Quaeda then decided to move its main front in their war against us to Iraq which turned out to be a huge strategic error on their part where with the surge we defeated them. Then Obama took iver with his promised retreat which helped give rise to ISIS and their openjng up their war there. Obama calling them the "JV team" and trying to marginalize them rather than admitting he had made a grave steategic mistake allowed them to take ground and wsfablish themselves. Obama then tried his half assed surge which didn't do much. He should have negoiated a better long term agreement which would have given several operational bases there which would hace added security to the entier region and kept ISIS out.

    Like Michael Brown and Eric Garner? You'll need to touch bases with the folks in Ferguson, Missouri who had their businesses destroyed about that.

    Nobody has said anything about the police shooting black criminals, we are speak of unarmed or innocent black men who are not criminals. I know you are not going to go and fetch them because you know they will show you are full of sh.................nevermind.

    No like Amadou Diallo or Charles Kinsey.

    What does that have to do with police killing unarmed men?

    I assumed they were referring to Republican politicians or party members.

    Amadou Diallo didn't follow directions, "show us your hands" doesn't mean reach inside your jacket. Charles Kinsey also didn't follow directions, he was reported to Police that he was the guy with the gun. The cop was a SWAT team member, he used less than lethal force by shooting him in the leg not the head.

    This is what you said. I just pointed to two examples of you being wrong.

    Any excuse will do.

    No, that is the bullshit you said. Nobody protests folks who are breaking the law being shot.

    Out of millions of stops a year that happens very rarely

    And almost never if ever because of systemic racism in the police dept

    America is not an anti black racist nation

    Bad black behavour is what draws attention of the cops - many who are also black

    The shelf life of an ordinary republican who becomes part of the government in washington either as a elected rep or a civil servant is abour 10-12 years

    After spending enough time in that totally corrupt city they become part of the joke being played on the public

    and alien to the voters they are supposed to serve

    Its not a problem until it happens to you.

    Well history proves that statement wrong.

    For the most part it isn't.

    Or is it just black that draws their attention, since there is plenty of bad white behavior as well.

    It never happened to me and never will because I comply with police orders

    And I would comply rather than fight with them even if they were wrong

    For me a traffic stop gone bad means I have to file a complaint with the police dept or maybe hire a lawyer and take them to court

    Mouthing off to the cop on the street, ignoring his commands or trying to beat him up is not in my playbook

    See that is the problem you try to equate your experiences with being pulled over to every black person who is pulled over.

    Many folks aren't fighting with them.

    Its not in the playbook of many folks who have suffered police harassment or brutality.

    Out of millions of stops each year by the cops a tiny few are unjustified shootings

    1 unjustified shooting is too many, especially since they are almost never prosecuted for it.

    That applies more to professional politicians than trump

    Obama and the clintons entered politics to get rich

    whereas trump was already rich and had nothing to gain

    So if 5 people are unjustly murdered by the police in your eyes its no big deal.
