15. I think they have made their choices in that regard, & it will destroy them as a party...

The GOP is diminishing in number, and the only way they can win anymore is by cheating, gerrymandering, and using the Electoral College edge. I hope very much that the crazies they have embraced will go off in a snit and form a 3rd party, doing things like primarying Republican office-holders. As it is, the more aware decent folk are leaving to become Independents — I don’t expect many of them to re-register as Democrats.

What’s left in office are lonely guys like Romney and an awful lot of bastards like McConnell who are in it strictly for the power and wealth. And yeah, I think McConnell is deep down evil.

Just a wishful thought, but wouldn’t it be great if Schumer would assign someone to court Mitt Romney and encourage him to become an Independent for his remaining time in office? He’s a decent guy, in his own way, and this Insurrection has got to be eating at him, not to mention Trump’s corruption and immorality. Senator Tom Udall is a Mormon, and a Democrat...
