        It is not a government “by the people” if the only way to get representation is by waiting for a billionaire to stop donating.

        But silence on Dem controlled inner city murders in Chicago and Detroit. 7000 dead in last 8 years

        When you can't defend your case, attack with name calling. Played. No longer works.

        Didn’t call you a name. But your very basic lack of understanding of why Chicago has the gun problem that it has while, say, New York doesn’t makes your cluelessness plain for all to see.

        It's the hypocrisy of the left that's lost you 1030 net elections in the last 9 years. Is that a reality you cannot grasp?

        My grasp of reality is so firm that I’m able to stay on topic even over the course of two whole tweets. You’re dead wrong on Chicago. Admit it or delete your twitter account.

        Funny how the left name calls. Then when they keep losing the argument they resort to telling others what to do. Good luck with all of that. Seems to be working

        Still haven’t called you a name but since you’re so sensitive and in case you really just don’t know what you’re talking about, here’s the score: the gun laws in Chicago don’t matter. The gangs can drive to Indiana or Alabama and buy all ththe guns that they want. 1/2

        I think rich people buying politicians & agendas is why we're here but until we can get campaign finance reform, this is a good precedent to set. A better one would be threatening to write that check to whoever will actually vote for it anyway, without $ motive, but common sense

        If a few thousand donors did this daily, the @RNC would soon realize they lost the country bc of weapons AND trump. And the @NRA wouldn't b far behind if their donor base left them.

        Because we are Americans and have the right to own them for any reason we want. You're never ever taking them, get over it.

        Having a "right" does not equate to having a "need". And no right in our constitution is unlimited

        That right includes owning a semi-automatic rifle, and none of you will ever be able to take that away babies you will never have the power to do so. Keep dreaming.
