We don't. Harness the energy of the "Strongly Disagree" against the administration, fight it in the courts, and know that by 2018 and 2020 this will not be a deciding factor in elections.

I don't have an answer for what happens the next time there's a shooting or a terrorist attack and Trump leverages that for the next order.

Try using "Nazi" and "fascist" more. I'm sure bumping it up from 4 references per paragraph to 5 will win moderates over.

I agree that, as weird as it sounds, we shouldn't make it about the refugees. The criticism should come from two main points:

1) Trump circumventing Congress and "shoving his executive order down the throats of the American people."

2) The failure of the administration to provide any kind of enforcement guidance and creating "scenes of chaos and frustration" at our airports.

Since when do polls on issues matter? Free trade is supported by 60%+ of the electorate, yet the protectionist won.

Broad, but weak, support for the ban is much less powerful than more narrow, but much more vocal, opposition.

Think background checks for guns. 80% support, never happens because 20% are super-vocal.

You don't know a God damned thing about being nice. 

First thing to know about being nice?

It won't get a guy anywhere when dealing with rotten attitudes and hostile personalities like yours.

Appears Democrats are having trouble getting heard.

Should we sing the song again "This land is your land, this land is my land"

Put her in charge of your protests, and everything will be on track.

Although I wont criticize. Bernie made an appearance.

Love the Bern! I still feel for him. The Democratic party suffered a sad day when they "banned" him from the Democratic nomination.
