    I'm worried. My 1 yr old grandson is at my house. He does nothing for himself, pays for nothing, cries when he doesn't get his way, throws tantrums, and wears diapers that I have to change. I'm afraid this kid is a Democrat! Hope he outgrows it.

        Just curious - in your worldview, do the parents bear any responsibility for putting the children in danger while crossing the border into a situation where if caught they'll get separated, or is it all on Trump? Asking as a parent of a small kid myself.

        In your view as a parent of small children, do you think exposing your child to physical violence of drug gangs or the emotional violence, imposed in violation of international lie, of Sessions' ICE gangs is the better choice?

        I think parents who remove their children from immediate grave physical danger should be applauded.

        Thank you for your honest answer, but I respectfully disagree.The world has been a dangerous place for years (I grew up in a shithole country myself, where I used to get beat up for who I was regularly) and if a family wanted to flee into the unknown, esp illegally, one parent /1

        would go first, and once established,send for the kids. My family has been fleeing Russia and anti-Semitism in drips and drabs starting in 1908.I would never subject my 7yr old boy to such a perilous journey and prospect of being taken away by iCE if caught crossing the border./2

        1. We are also all familiar with families sending their children ahead for safety, knowing that they themselves might not ever make it. 2. America is a country of immigrants. Some white people here think they have some claim to be 1st. Not factual.

        Being an immigrant, I certainly believe in immigration, but legal immigration. Let me ask you - do you believe that only those who are vetted and admitted by the government should come in, or do you believe in open borders and that anyone who wants to can enter?

        I truly hope he does develop a conscience and become a Democrat. Karma is a bitch that way.

        I think we all need to move somewhere else. Or perhaps congregate in a few states & give the rest to the MAGAts

        Wasn’t Huckabee’s son fired for killing a dog while working at a summer camp? Maybe he should worry about the child but not for being a possible Democrat.

        I think the most pathetic thing about Huckabee might very well be his belief that he is actually funny.

        Yup. Millions of children of Republicans fall away from the old fears and hatreds every year. Now, if they would all vote...Well, lots of other young people are going to vote for the first time this year.

        Mr. Huckabee, when we have "outgrown" the notion that society is responsible for individual members and repealed Medicare, Medicaid and everything else, and you find yourself with a medical condition that will bankrupt you in two months, please die in the gutter cheerfully.
