I never imagined we’d be regarded as a full-on rogue nation by much of the rest of the world.

But it’s happening right before our eyes.

I think the only thing we can realistically work toward is a Democratic victory in November. In the House, the Senate, and in governorships across the country. And the more he alienates his own voters, the bigger a midterm victory WE’LL generate.

That, dear friends, is Job ONE.
