Yesterday

"Perhaps the most memorable moment in the deeply forgettable evening came during one of the several moments throughout the evening when Trump berated the Democrats. After pointing at them in the House chamber and calling them 'crazy,' Trump said: 'We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time'...Republicans stood and clapped, but the Democrats just sat there, politely tolerant, while they were berated and smeared. Why did they just sit there and take it? Why were they there at all?"
