They will be our enemies again by the next election if we defeat drumpf now. I'll deal with that later since drumpf is an existential threat to the existence of our constitutional democratic republic.

tRump is not a conservative. But what he has done for conservatism has shown it to be a failure.

I believe this line of attack would be much more successful if it gave some examples of WHY tRump 'is no conservative'. Look at it from the perspective of someone who doesn't pay as much attention to political news as we do.

There are many ways they could have done this. Discuss the multiple bankruptcies which show poor leadership and planning ability. Go after him for his numerous extramarital affairs. Point out all the taxpayer money he has wasted (and funneled to his own companies) through his numerous golf trips.

The title should be "the most easily fixed problem" or "the most fixable problem." Personally, I'd prefer "The problem that is easiest to fix." "Fixable" means "easily fixed."

I believe most people who voted for Trump in 2016
thought he was the lesser of two evils. Credit their views
to the right-wing slander machine demonizing the Democrats.
Just as John Kerry was laid low by a draft-dodging W. Bush in 2004,
Crooked Hillary Clinton was shot down by a crass, lying thief. Until we
can negate Fox and their ilk on the hate radio waves the "conservatives"
like this boy in the video will march in lockstep to the polls to vote for
thugs.
