I recommend that after the progressive takeover a serious study be conducted to quantify just how much damage has been done to the American people by such ruthless tactics for short term goals. Is this country going to heal after so much bitterness? If there is a violent reaction to Trumps defeat, how would it be resolved?

to see this nasty, weaponized truth aimed at Dumdum and his enablers, I doubt it will outlast them. It will be aimed right back at us.

So I sincerely hope that more Democrats are paying very close attention to how they're doing this stuff. It's obvious that the DNC itself is incapable of mounting a decent offense and that nice guys finish last most of the time. Being people pleasers is just not going to work against bullies and cheats.

They need to become fighters.

but my guess is that once the supply of those is depleted, they'll be back at taking shots at Democrats.

I could be wrong, but I see no signs of political epiphany there.

Once Buckley had rid the republikkan party of the John Birchers and Nazi apologists he went full throttle against Democrats
I am guessing they will do the same

6. I'm skeptical. I will keep my eye on them. They are political assassins.

Like Lee Atwater - But even he had regrets - on his deathbed - Never too late I guess. I appreciate their efforts, no doubt. I don't know what happens after all this though.
