For some bizarre reason, Dems seem to think it’s a winning strategy to trash the USA. Remember NY Governor Andrew Cuomo’s assertion that “America was never that great” ?
Via BizPac Review.
“When I hear these things about let’s Make America Great Again, I think to myself, exactly when did you think America was great?” he asked. “It certainly wasn’t when people were enslaved. It certainly wasn’t when women did have the right to vote. It certainly wasn’t when the LGBT community was denied the rights to which it was entitled.”….
If a picture is worth a thousand words, as the old saying goes, Pence responded with four thousand words, tagging Holder to ensure he would see it.

After effectively being called out for hating on America, Holder responded to clean up what he said and to offer his interpretation of the campaign slogan. Denying the many challenges facing the country, he said the quest is “backward looking.”
America IS great. And can-and must-be greater still. “Make America great again” means YOU think America is not great now-and is backward looking. America is at its best when we look forward, embrace an uncertain future and make it ours. That is what defines American greatness https://t.co/ASagCEPMZ5

But people were not buying his back-pedaling:
America wasn’t great when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. It wasn’t great when it let Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and CIA operatives Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods be slaughtered. It wasn’t great when it airdropped $1.7 billon in Iran.

I remember several years, when you were corrupting the Justice Department, that weren't so great. https://t.co/JHY2fd93mc

Actually, considering how well our economy is doing, it's been a pretty great presidency. Look, I get that you Dems are still upset that Felonia von Pantsuit lost but you need to get over it. Hillary will never, ever be president. Move on #Next
