The senator hit members of his own party for categorizing Trump as a "felon," arguing Democrats are supposed to be a people who believe in redemption.

Just switch parties already, for Christ’s sake.

    This does sound like he’s got his tongue up Trump’s butthole, but he’s also not wrong. There are a lot of Trump supporters in rural Pennsylvania, and they are not swayed by the felony conviction or the racism or the dementia or the rape, because those inbred meth-heads are able to relate to Trump on a personal level.

      He’s not wrong about some of what he said. He also said this about Trump being a felon-

      I mean, I thought Democrats, we were the party that was all about second chances and that we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes or things in that kind of situation.

      The idea that the party would give a second chance to Donald Trump when he hasn’t even been sentenced yet is insane.

        he also characterized trump’s actions as “mistakes”:

        we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes

        I guess at 78 trump is still learning and making a few mistakes along the way

        You also need to be remorseful to deserve a second chance. Be a man and own up to your mistakes.

        I do not think TFG is capable of that.

        I agree with you completely about that. Honestly, it sounds like somebody who’s about to have a scandal break.
