That is the power we have in our hands.

The repubs will do nothing about what trump is doing. The question was asked on MSNBC tonight several times "is there any republicans who will stand up to trump?" The answer each time was no.

If anyone talks about purity or someone isn't liberal enough etc. shut them down. We need enough Dems elected to take over the Congress and purity takes a back seat to that this year. And that means anyone Bernie included.
