Rod Blagojevich

you know i think the nearest thing to that would be senator federman in pennsylvania began it was a hoodie yeah he seems to be sensible and in willing to find common ground to work in and support traditional things that you know that you know that all americans have you historically been for what the old democratic party used to be for so i think there is at least one low voice in that party uh...

You know, I haven't completely written myself off as a Democrat, believe it or not.

I mean, I can't begin to tell you, you know, I'm a Trumpocrat.

I say that openly, and I'm so proud to be that and grateful to President Trump personally.

But frankly, put that aside, I think he's a great president, a necessary president, and he's doing things that must be done to save our country and then make it great again.

First, we have to save our country.

but no i uh... you know the hatred and if it's really on the on the on the on the far left democrat side is palpable i live in the neighborhood you know that used to vote for me a lot and uh... i was out of the street the other day talk i came back from downtown chicago and

Some guy, he was a man, he was muscular.

I think he was a man, muscular.

And then he had long hair, but he had a beard, a full beard.

But what threw me was he was wearing a dress and combat boots.

And he walked by and he took a double take, recognized it was me.

Then he gives me the finger.

and uh... my first reaction was okay you know guy like that is in the figure out a you know probably given a few words in the finger back but i wasn't sure whether it was a man or a woman and i'm try not to swear at women so i had to hold my tongue but that's sort of the element is now a large loud voice within the democratic party and

thank you for the work that you're doing is because i love our country now saying what my government's done to me i love my country i believe the american dream myself there's no place like america and this is the last best hope on earth as lincoln said a true and a great illinoisian but thank you for the work that you're doing because i still i believe and i know you do too that that forgotten american the great vast silent majority that nixon talked about and and changed american politics still exists it's what elected trump last november

People with common sense, believe in God, love our country, don't burn the flag, don't like people who burn the flag, believe in the traditional values of our country.

They still make up most of the Americans, and I still believe, actually, most of rank-and-file Democratic voters.

If those Democrat voters can get over the fact that they've been lifelong Democrats...

Because it's hard to change your love for your team.

They can get over that, and they are.
