Leading up to the election to stop fascism, Republicans in congress will have to face this.

Commercial after commercial showing babies screaming after being stolen from their parents. Mothers crying in sheer terror as they discovered their babies were stolen from them. It's going to be brutal. Trumps plan to win the mid terms was to get tough on immigration. Its fair to say that back fired.

There will be commercials in Trump land showing farmers being destroyed by Trumps tariffs, people being laid off by Trumps tariffs.

I believe before the election the healthcare numbers will come out. Republicans own healthcare. They fucked up big time. That will hurt them very badly. Even Trump voters get healthcare.

Soon the Manafort trial begins. That is going to be nothing but bad news for Trump and the Republicans. There is no telling what is going to come out of that trial. Manafort is a traitor, a spy. Thats going to come out.

Soon Cohen will be arrested. He will have to decide, do I start life over again with my family, or do I see my family for the rest of my life on visitation days. Cohen can destroy Trump.

More people may be indicted. People like Roger Stone.

There will be more problems on the border, more stories about the children. That disaster cannot be fixed quickly. Knowing Trump he will make it worse. He does not know what the hell he is doing. Trump is only smart in one way. He knows how to put on fake shows that fool people. That will not work in this election.

Trump and Republicans will run on lies. They will run on corruption, voter suppression, help from Russia, etc. The democrats are ready this time. They know what to look for. This election will have a lot of over sight.

The Mueller report may come out. That will change everything.

To sum it up, this election the Republicans in congress will not be enjoying themselves. It will be a nightmare for all of them.

or election processes in most states, so only a true tidal wave will overcome the inevitable cheating.

Our voting machines will not be protected...
Paul Ryan has removed the head of a commission tasked with protecting US elections from cyberattacks

And Trump voters will not be swayed by ANYthing.
Please Read this woman's psychoanalysis of TRumpsters:
🚨🚨 Living with a supremacist...where Trumpism ends

Nothing will move them. Nothing will shame them. Nothing.


Our very democracy will depend on Democrats and the Independents voting in November and those votes being honestly counted.

We cannot risk being overly optimistic! We must not let our guard down.
