    So now in addition to a better DACA deal, a better NAFTA deal, and a better North Korea deal, I'll be waiting for the promised better Iran deal. I'm not yet tired of winning.

    You know that Republicans are leading all three investigations, right?

    Is this Phony Witch Hunt going to go on even longer so it wrongfully impacts the Mid-Term Elections, which is what the Democrats always intended? Republicans better get tough and smart before it is too late!

    7) We need smarter laws to protect us and keep us safe. We need laws that make it harder to buy and use weapons whose only purpose is to kill as quickly as possible.

    6) Those of us who know people who have suffered through horrific shootings like Sandy Hook understand that his approach will cost more lives, both in continued mass shootings and in the deadly, daily gun violence we see across our country.

    5) He assured us that he speaks with “Wayne and Chris” and the “incredible” people at the NRA about how to protect children from violence. The solution that drew the most cheers from the audience? Arming teachers with concealed weapons.

    4) He argued against smart gun laws like the ones we have in Connecticut. The ones that we know save lives.
