(8,200 posts)His poll numbers have improved rather dramatically within the last month. Have the Democrats lost the significant edge they appeared to have going into the 2018 elections and will we be unable to retake the House and possibly the Senate? So much hinges on this election that it is difficult to see it seemingly slipping away once again. It's a difficult quandary to what to see North Korea defanged, but know that it could mean that the Republicans will be propelled by these events to retain control. What will be the long term results? It is really depressing to think that the scum bag Republicans who have stooped to the lowest tactics to smear Democrats could be in power for years to come. I really don't know what sort of future is awaiting our youth and young men and women. Will they drown in their apathy? I wonder if they really comprehend that their very future is at stake. I hope they come to the realization that the Republicans are committed to a Ayn Rand society in which the ruthless greed is rewarded as a virtue and the masses are to be trampled underfoot like worthless swine. Atlas Shrugged is their Bible and unlimited their prosperity for the powerful is their Good News.

He also called them heroes. Now I remember when being captured disqualified one from being a hero for the Con.

The Liar-in-Chief will never give "That Black Man" credit for anything, and will lie ("all 3 were taken during Obama's administration?" ) about any verifiable fact he chooses to ignore, as if we are as stupid and ignorant as his irredeemably deplorable supporters.
