To resist Trump, the left needs leadership that renews 'common good'

To resist Trump, the left needs leadership that renews 'common good': Distinctly Catholic: If Donald Trump does half the things he promised to do, resistance will be required. But the left needs to grow up.

MGB:Resistance to Trump requires a united Senate Democratic caucus, period.  In 2018, it will require some unity on the state and congressional district level, but the outrage of Trump will provide that.  In 2020, we need unity between groups and a certain tolerance of the differences with ones allies - both by speakers and listeners, but their is nothing wrong with a little bit of education about what it is to be in your own group, particularly after 400 years of oppression (by the way, Romany have had 1000, just so you know where my people come from in Europe). The Sanders coalition will be part of this, if the candidate is smart. Some in the Church will join, the authoritarians will not.  I see no change among the culture warrior and social justice types.
