in the midterm elections. Unseating incumbent Dems who have proven they cant kick rethug ass in the general election for an unproven rookie...not smart at all.

The rethugs have a very thin majority and as unpopular as trump and his deportations and tariffs are, we just have to bide our time, no unwise incumpent challenges, and we unseat Johnson, win the House majority and stifle trump's agenda for the rest of his sorry term.

Period.
