A thing that Republicans do that Democrats need to do [View all]

Since I have been following politics (early 90’s) Republicans have always created the Democratic boogey man....it’s currently the squad, Pelosi and Schumer....this past decade it was Obama, Pelosi and Reid ....in the early 2000’s it was Pelosi....the 90’s it was Clinton and Ted Kennedy....and every Democrat running for office (senator, congress, mayor, governor, school board, dog catcher) is the tied the boogeyman....We never go after Republican candidates like that, other then maybe tying them to Trump.
