    I don't hear anyone defending what he said.......... there are over 300,000,000 people in the USA....... roughly half of them could be labeled as "liberal" so I not not shocked that a small percentage of people would say what the protester said..... the reality is that moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans are more alike than they are connected to the radicals in their own parties.

    The mid terms were always going to be interesting, this is a very polarizing time in American history.

    I don't call him anything. He's mostly center to center-right in his commentating.

    Piers Morgan said the same thing almost exactly a year ago (October 2017).

    I don't know why Piers Morgan's opinion means much..... unless of course you are only seeking out "news" that support your position.

    You have to remember that some people here are so far left that they would call Karl Marx right of center.

    A British national. And a personal friend of trump's and a former employee of trump. Someone that has been favorable to trump from the beginning, and had two sycophantic interviews with trump.

    Well, if you consider Piers Morgan left wing and sean hannity as "center right" then I don't think you are in a position to judge anyone's politics...

    Yet the person you quoted is calling Sean Hannity right of center. Talk about a lack of self-awareness...

    nobody has actually said that, however i have seen a trump supporting poster say that fox news is "leftist" and that the only reliable sources of info are breitbart and some random youtube channel.

    also, in recent months we have seen trump supporters call people who disagreed with trumps child detention policy "liberals" - people like colin powell, laura bush and the american academy of pediatrics.

    trump supporters also think tariffs and protectionist trade polices are "conservative" now.

    yall are so brainwashed and flipped that everyone who is not 100% lock-step with trump is a bleeding heart lib-pig...and you want to criticize liberals for being so far left - what joke!

    We now have proof that the Morgan message is thankfully falling on deaf ears.

    piers morgan is a piece of s*** and always has been. who cares what he says?

    he also says trump is a "close personal friend" so any opinion he has on trump should be taken with a grain of salt. hes obviously biased towards him.

    Liberals should take the time to watch the DeSantis/Gillum debate. Each candidate is what i'd considered 'centrist' to the respective party. Neither are moderate across the political spectrum and neither are extremist. Neither have serious baggage. Whichever candidate wins will not significantly alter the states politics.

    While they appear to be symmetrical opposites from the political divide, their message is vastly different. DeSantis miserably fails with his Trump tactics. Gillum on he other hand, stays focused and completely ignores DeSantis nonsense. DeSantis platform consisted of attacking Gillum discusses very little of his policies. This leaves Gillum very little to attack DeSantis so instead he spends his time talking mostly about policy and correcting DeSantis half truth accusations. Additionally, Gillum did not get caught up in the crap slinging and berate DeSantis on his "lies" and "fake news".

    This is mostly a red state. Gillum is going to win in a landslide. Not because his policies are better, but because the moderates are not going to vote for a guy who stands for nothing.

    If the Liberals hate Trump so much, they should take a lesson. Its very simple. Don't stoop to Trumps level. Keep 'Trump' and 'Republicans' of of their mouth as much as possible. Talk policy that affects everyone, not just about protected groups.

    Because no one is dumb enough to take advice on how to criticize Trump from a bunch of Trump fanatics, especially ones who spent years and years whining and crying about every single thing Obama did.

    Not arguing the importance of staying on message and focusing on policy, but the latest polls show this race as essentially a dead heat and if anything the race has been tightening.

    So is it possible the mudslinging is working?

    It nearly always does. "Crooked Hillary," "Lying Ted," and even insulting whole races seemed to work well. Yup. Sad!

    No kidding. I've never liked the pompous Limey, and certainly pay no attention to anything he says.
