Seriously people. Look at our failures as a party since Bill Clinton's second term. We held the majority in the House and Senate almost every year for 62 years prior to that. Since Bill Clinton's second term, we have held the majority only for four years.

New Dem policies suck up the wazoo! And they are trying to use them as the template again. Against a trickster like Trump! Not a good idea at all. And all this with legal issues hanging over Hillary's head.
