Travis, we're not talking half the country as the protesters want you to believe. It's a fringe made to look huge by a media that is part of them. Gallup did a couple of polls in 2010 --- the first the repeat periodically ---
http://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/iglnwvn0jeaslencabs5iq.gif So, 20% of Americans in 2010 claimed to be Liberals They did another poll that same year: http://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/ybwvwdqorkci0r_emwwjkw.gif and 26% of those Liberals claimed to be Progressives That makes Liberal Progressives 5.2% of the population. In the latest polling, 24% of the country claims to be Liberals, making Liberal Progressives a whopping 6.24% of the country. Liberal Progressives, including the media, are a nasty, violent, intolerant, but fringe bunch of Marxists who have hijacked the Democratic Party and radicalized the Liberal message. They are the fringe funded by Soros. Did you notice, BTW, that during the campaign Hillary wanted to share the Progressive Label with Bernie?
