That has been consistently hostile to the ideals and moral underpinnings of this party is ridiculous on its face.

Working class white men are already welcome. I'm here - Hi everybody - and I don't feel any pressure to leave just because there are POC and women here as well.

But the people who voted for 45 have shown who and what they are. We should never change who we are to accommodate them, when (if) they realize what the Trump Party truly is - well they can change their priorities and come on over.

We cannot, must not ignore the interests of the people who are the core and strength of our party.

And to be clear, the spine of our party is NOT white working class straight men, it is the other 75% of America.
