While I would like progressive Democrats to tell us why America (and any sovereign nation) should not have control over its borders or why the Muslim Brotherhood and Identity Politics are a good thing, it would be nice if "moderate Republicans" could explain the morality (and political viability) of Mitt Romney's 2012 icy dismissal of 47% of the electorate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2gvY2wqI7M
