What kind of people go to Republican candidate debates these days? What kind of people cheer when one of the aspirants at the podium in this field of bad dreams makes fun of food stamp recipients, the majority of whom are children.
What kind of country do we live in today when a candidate for the presidency from one of our national parties not only seeks to protect the wealth of the wealthiest at all costs, but would take food out of the mouths of the needy?
