    The thread is asking for opinions, not mind reading.

    Any opinion on Trump is based on his ACTUAL words and actions. You're asking me to give an opinion on an entire political party, which is impossible to do given the number of people that make up the party.

    That is based on the actions of the senators and congressmen who do nothing about illegal immigration

    I support moving them to a museum, I do not support them on State house lawns or the center of towns that do not want them

    I would support moving them to the Trump Presidential library

    No, because those who supported slavery weren't liberals, and those who freed them weren't conservatives.

    It's not about 'labels' it's about who you are.


    FYI, Lincoln, in a letter to the editor of NYTimes, stated that if he could have saved the Union without freeing the slaves, he would have. Freeing the slaves was NOT the primary mission of the Civil war, the primary mission was to save the union. That's it.
