Speaking of Doubling Down...
Yeah, baby! That's two then, in one blow/ one comment thread ... but who's counting?
I just hope this puts to rest the tired old Drumpf - Hitler comparisons...
(We might not want to discuss or hear the people's "call to action" on Middle East peace, illegal immigration at home, or the stagnating economy, but we're darned ready to stop Hilter if he ever comes back to life! The politicians and media are all over that issue, anyway... Fear not.)

Trump and Cruz aren't in charge, and some say can't be, so why not just remain silent?
Because silence is consent.
In the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller (there are several versions of this quote and some dispute about which is "THE" correct version, but they all mean essentially the same thing).
"In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Socialist.
"Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
"Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
"Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Remaining silent is an option only for the passive and those who agree.
Trump supporters are remaining quiet no longer.
We want Change, and President Obama could not deliver.
Members of both parties, Republicans and Democrats who love America, want to see the immigration and security issues addressed. We want to end the inequality that is fostered by a status-quo Washington.
Change is coming... ready or not!
