With the look of it, republicans are handing us the White House.

BUT that doesn't mean we don't go vote. And remember to take like minded family, friends, and neighbors with ya to the polls.

He sounds like the kind of bat 💩 crazy they love. But can they get over his heritage to vote for him?

The Primaries will tell.

everybody/bad messaging etc. make me want to scream.

Republicans don't win because their candidates are fabulous and campaigns great, it should go without saying.

5. Good point, TB. Democrats must learn to hold victory close while daring to make hope into reality.

Those laughable Republican midgets will swoop in and snatch theirs if Democrats take their eyes off the possible.

Specifically, point the fingers and name the culprits. Level pointed accusations and provide the proof. Republicans are too prone toward criminality to govern even a small village of idiot trolls. Spread the word fearlessly and factually.

Meanwhile the people need reminding that there is a "city on the hill", there is justice and opportunity enough for all. In the short version it's about how only those whose incomes exceed $400,000 are seeing tax increases. With those funds the heretofore unchallenged problems of illegal immigration, chronic homelessness, lack of healthcare and lack of educational opportunity are whittled away. Democrats will pass workable legislation which Republicans will not because their interests are never in long term solutions to issues from which they profit and mine support from the aggrieved.
