View submission: Hillary Clinton: You 'cannot be civil' with Republicans, Democrats need to be 'tougher'

It starts with using Republicans' own words against them at every opportunity. That's not the Democrats attacking Republicans. It's the Republicans exposing themselves as opportunists.

It **should** have started with Beto plastering Trump tweets against Ted Cruz all over the state. I'm tired of this "I won't stoop to that level" garbage.

I'm tired of this "I won't stoop to that level" garbage.

There are a lot of people who are perfectly fine with everything happening as long as they can retain their pride and be able to say, "Well **I'm** not responsible ". As MLK put it, they don't want justice, they want order.

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action";
