IMO, the die is cast for the repiggies. Has nothing to do with Trump, more to do with cable tv and radio.

Gingrich obnoxiousness turned into Palin, then Trump. Each getting more obnoxious and odorous.

It is fueled by Fox, Newsmax, OANN, who learned there is an obvious market for hate media.

The problem is the Repuke voters, so we will continue to see the worst of the worst getting airtime and support.

Earlier today I saw a post mentioning Alan Grayson, I appreciated him being fiery, but the act wore thin quickly. Dems like fighters, but is a fine line before you cross over into asshole territory and Dems don’t like assholes.

Note: before saying he wasn’t a blowhard, see quote below and think, who else would publicly make a similar claim.

On November 6, 2012, Grayson defeated Todd Long, 63–37%, to return to Congress after a one-term absence. He described his victory as "the biggest comeback in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives."[49] Although he ran in two different districts, Grayson claimed the House historian had told him that the shift from a 56–38% loss in 2010 to a 63–37% victory in 2012 was the biggest comeback in congressional history.
