Claiming some of the students on tv after #Parkland are actors is the work of a disgusting group of idiots with no sense of decency

This is the biggest piece of evidence yet that they are actors

Never mind, even Rubio is right sometimes

What is the protocol when two different crackpot theorists take opposing stances?

Is that what causes diverging timelines?

Rubio is getting torn a new asshole on this Townhall.

Good thing he's spineless or else it'd be embarrassing for him! Instead it's just par for the course.

Rubio is good at being a robot.

Unfortunately, gun control is a lost cause. Neither organized party really supports it. Republicans dont really support it at all and Dems support it just enough to keep their constituents from making an issue of it but in reality don't support it at all(They are happier keeping it a non-issue). There is too much money in the gun lobby(Who, unfortunately, profit massively from these shootings) so no one is willing to make a real issue of gun control.

The question about "will you not take another dollar from the NRA?" and him not answering it was amazing.

TWITTER - Susan Davis (NPR)

A thought on 17 yo's: It strikes me how unique their generation is: Born & raised in the 9/11 era, into a nation at war their entire lives, and already witnessed 19 of 33 deadliest shootings in America since WWII. Must shape/be shaping worldviews in ways we don't fully grasp yet.

It's also possible they have no conscious memory of Facebook ever being less than completely public. #CasualRevolution

That town hall was a thing of beauty.

Honestly, good on Rubio for showing up. He had to have known that was going to be brutal heading in, but he at least had the decency to face his constituents. Plenty of other politicians would have just chickened out under similar circumstances. I hope Floridians remember Rick Scott's absence when he tries to take Nelson's senate seat this year.

I finally got around to watching the full response to this one

this was a bad idea for 2:30am because I just burst out laughing so loud the moment Rubio said "the influence of these groups comes not from money!"
---

Rubio up at 2:30 - "the kids are wrong. I'm right, they're wrong. Right? Please tell me they're wrong."

Banning all semi-auto weapons may have been popular with the audience at #CNNTownHall, but it is a position well outside the mainstream https://t.co/18rMDwEfGs

"Well outside the mainstream" huh? I guess we're just ignoring the poll where 67% of Americans support it.

I never said give teachers guns like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience - only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to
....immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions. Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A gun free school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END!

What many people dont understand, or dont want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Chummy first name basis with the heads of the NRA, thats the right tone to have today

He didn't even need a notecard to remember their names!

5) I hear you.
6) MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

I am getting flashbacks to the "deplorables" comment from all of this. Something tells me gun owners/advocates are not going to take kindly to being labeled as child murder facilitators come the mid-terms.
---

Call young student-survivors crisis actors = A-okay.

Point out kids die here in a gun-heavy country by guns in record amounts = Hillary-flashbacks.

lmao yeah ok.

In other news, Trump announced he wants more background checks, to ban bump stocks, and to raise the age to buy more guns to 21.
---

Hillary calling Trump supporters deplorables had zero effect on the election. And she was right. Though I think she underestimated.

Is everyone still this delusional?

Trump overperformed the polls because his voters were tired of being called bigots/racists/misogynists for having conservative opinions. The extreme labeling by the Left is absolutely killing them electorally. If this kind of rhetoric persists, I'll make a bold prediction that the GOP keeps a similar margin in the House and picks up a seat or two in the Senate this year.

I wouldn't wish that even on Seph

The fact is that:

-Being pro-2A does not mean you want to see schoolchildren get shot
-Being against illegal immigration does not mean you hate Mexicans
-Being against BLM-inspired rioting after a cop shooting does not make you racist
-Being for expanded drilling/mining does not mean you want to destroy the environment
-Being for traditional marriage does not make you a homophobe

I fully expect many of you to argue against these facts in subsequent posts, but this is how a large number of people feel they are being labeled. Your side will never win those people over when the conclusions against them are this extreme.

I'm trying to help you out! I would give my left nut for someone like Trump never to get a major party nomination again, but the libs are making this really difficult.

"the left" doesn't do extreme labeling so this makes no sense.

They could lose the House and pick up a seat or two in the Senate given the map tbqh

instead of being offended when we call them bad they should stop being bad

Trump overperformed in polls because Hillary was radioactive.

My god, how can Conservatives constantly talk about how evil and hated Hillary is while at the same time talking about how loved Trump is?

The dude lost the popular vote by 3 million and his margin of victory in the states he won was < 40,000 votes!

Edit: I had a SephG quote in here I thought, but it got eaten by mobile
---

i love how sephy is arguing that people only get called racists and misogynists "for having conservative opinions." that's ulti-level dumb. spoilers: there's still tons of racists and misogynists out there and they absolutely need to get called out.
---

Not to mention a recent generic Dem vs. Republican poll had Dems back up by 15.

And like 538 pointed out, this doesn't seem to be going away like other shootings.
---

If you follow the main #NeverAgain students on Twitter, youll see most of them thanking Trump for his latest gun control tweet and even thanking Rubio for showing up to the debate when no one else would. Theyre not spreading a hardline fuck Republicans for killing us message.

They just know what they want and theyre a million times better at fighting for it than Dems are.
