14. Will there be fair elections, without Russia putting its thumb on the scale?

Nobody’s done a damn thing about that very SERIOUS issue.

Will #45 start a war somewhere, and spread fear like a flu virus, to ensure his “administration” remains cemented in place?

At the moment, democracy has failed us. We have one-party rule in all three branches of government. Our long-standing instutions, protocols, and yes, LAWS are being flouted every way, in multiple dimensions. We don’t have a president, we have a right-wing banana-Republic dictator who demands in-front-of-the-camera praise (when he’s not busy praising himself). His party— those Republicans who cursed him during the campaign— now laud him to the skies without shame. They are in the process of pulling a “BENGHAZI!!!” with the Mueller investigation— screaming wall-to-wall lies about it, riling up their base, burning everyone else out from sheer repetition of message.

It’s 2018 or bust — the Senate MUST turn Democratic, and apply the brakes to the right-wing onslaught, or the game is pretty much over.
