    Usually there is one official one - but that does not stop others from commenting...
    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

          Democrats scheduled six separate responses to the president's address - the official response, the Spanish-language response, the Sen. Bernie Sanders response, the socialist response, the Rep. Maxine Waters response and the celebrity response.

          The only one I'm interested in is the one tonight by "Auntie" Mad Maxine Waters. It oughta be a hoot.

                Mr. Rogers thinks it's because the party doesn't currently have the unity to get behind a single response.

                  That's interesting, because it's always been a problem that the liberals marched in lockstep together WAY better than the conservatives.

                  THIS Mr Rogers?
