People saying I am giving up is complete bullshit. People saying I am a defeatist is complete bullshit. Some people just like to stick their head in the sand. They don't want to hear the truth. Trump will try to destroy our election process. He pretty much said it yesterday.

I never said we are beaten, i never said we should give up. I was just being very blunt and honest. Waiting till November to get rid of Trump is insane in my opinion. There should be a nation wide effort right now, demanding Trump resigns. It's not happening.
