You don't understand the fix. The fix is to beat trump. Beat him like a drum. Make it so bad that no republican will think of trying his kind of shit. You voting for anyone but Hillary will not help do that. Voting all Democrat down ticket is excellent. But you need to vote all Democrat. Even the sleazy blue dogs. We need a massive congressional majority. Massive. For the same scare tactic reason. We can't fight the blue dogs in mid term unless we have majority and can afford to lose a few. The tea party only managed to primary their in party enemies because they had a big majority. Pick off the most egregious centrists first. Then you won't have to primary the moderately bad, because they will be scared by what you did to the really blue dens.

It starts with having a huge win over trump. Anything short will be just self-indulgence.
