40. Is there ever going to be a "future Republican House?"

I think the entire nation is going the way California has.

The Republican Party is angry because they know they are dying and will do whatever they can to hurt their imagined enemies and fiercely cling to whatever power they still have, to their last breath, no matter the damage they do to this nation.

Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are perfect representatives of their party -- cruel nasty racist old white men who already stink of death.
