From power over the Senate. We need to retake the Senate period or McConnell will run obstruction again on everything to protect putin and trump. He's also behind the destruction of health care , and giving the wealthy windfalls, while taking away from Medicaid , Medicare, and they want to destroy Social Security. That's why every republican needs to be voted out of office, plus they're bought and paid for by putin and trump now. They're looking now at more tax cuts for the rich , and use to completely destroy ALL programs including Social Security. They're heading us into a depression .

This is all about saving what is left of the wonderful country from this regime and their enablers.

His endorsement is nothing more than a rallying cry for the Тяцмр humpers. It doesn’t help us.

I'm guessing that a pretty fair number of 2016 voters went for Trump as a lark, as a "fuckoffness" gesture, or thought it'd be a weird kick to have a reality TV celeb as our president (think: Governors Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.). I'm also guessing that among these nihilistic voters, some have regrets.

I'd even bet a good amount that, on a (imaginary) re-do of the 2016 vote, that Trump would not win, knowing what is now known.

A lot of people who are the victims of a con don't want to admit it publicly because it's embarrassing for them. I have some family members that I think fit into this catagory.

And they are howlingly and apologetically sorry. They were in the "screw all politics" camp, but they now know the danger of that. Sorry that it took Trump for that transformation to occur, but it's something, anyway. Pretty sure that there are many more like this out there who are now thinking much more soberly.
