The Democratic Party's EXPLOITATION of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

With the passing of RBG, the issue of the Supreme Court is atop many voters' minds.

In this week's 51/49 "Thinking Out Loud" segment, James discusses how Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing reveals that a) for the Republicans it’s all about their ability to exercise power, and b) for the Democrats, it’s all about theatrics. Nobody actually cares about humanity or the American people.

Like Chris Rock said in an interview with the New York Times: “Put it this way: “Republicans tell outright lies. Democrats leave out key pieces of the truth that would lead to a more nuanced argument. In a sense, it’s all fake news.”

While the Republican's are no doubt full of hypocrisy, the Democrats aren’t a better bunch—they may act more righteous or respectable compared with the Republicans, but in reality, they just aren't any better.

The pretend to care about important social, civil, and healthcare issues, but have chosen not to fight for SCOTUS picks (such as Obama's nominee Merrick Garland), not to fight Trump on his judicial appointments (most of Trump's judicial appointees are confirmed by Democrats), and are simply exploiting their voter base for votes and fundraising dollars.
