Senate Republicans must go in 2020--not just Trump

I am so happy the polls and approval ratings are trending dramatically downward for Trump, but we need to remind all thise angry and disaffected independents and suburbanites that GOP could have stopped Trump long ago.

I mean, I don't excuse them for not taking their role in our democratic process more seriously, but many of those people have been hurting for years and are looking for answers.

This is systemic, and I don't know the solution. The power of the internet has actually exacerbated the income equality in this country because big corps have even more asymmetric information power to wield.

Many Trumpers are racists and bigoted, and I am not referring to those people. They really are deplorable.

Though they get the headlines, there are many Trumpers who are not racist or otherwise out to do ill toward their neighbor.

As numerous journalists and political scientists have pointed out, Trump is the symptom--not the root cause.
