Nothing is ever "the complete end". They're not going anywhere; they just won't have the WH.

Not that either one of them would have mattered had it not been for the antics of James Comey. He dominated that election from start to finish. And IMO he was more responsible than all other factors put together.

we do need to have another party. A sane and honest one. The Republican party today is bankrupt in morals and honesty.

They have to learn how to legislate and become good stewards for an effective government.

Political parties should not be about amassing and remaining in power. Look where that's got them. Hopefully out of office, but leaving a wreaked and weakened nation.

Shame, shame on them. Their children's children will bear their shame.

But I think the reality is very, very different. I think we will be lucky to get the senate this year (if there were any justice at all, it would be a cakewalk upset to an easy majority), with one more opportunity to get the senate 2 years hence.

But we’d better do what we’re going to do quickly, because I’d be surprised if we have 10 years once we get that majority before the reinvigorated Republican Party makes inroads again.

Several reasons for this. We can’t keep our own people electable. See that idiot who’s having an affair while running his senate campaign. Honestly in today’s surveillance world, you were that stupid? Not sure I want someone that stupid running the show anyway, I don’t care whose side they’re on. Next the voting public is fickle, uneducated, and with no political memory at all. They’re all getting their “news” from social media. Finally, the Republican cult is very determined, absolutely rabid, and more ruthless when it comes to suppressing dissent and forcing their ideology into legislative repression. You have to live someplace like Utah or Wyoming to fully appreciate this.

I probably should have just deleted this. Change my mind.

They’ve always had these beliefs but used to talk in code. No more, everything’s out in the open.

They will still be out there. We have to make lots of changes. Law enforcement is scary to me now. I truly hope this can be turned around, now that we know what's going on.
