At this point in time, no republican is going to act for the good of the country. This is their big chance to pull off atrocities that they've been wanting to carry out for years. Listening to NPR now, and they're saying that Trump may commit impeachable offensives, but the repugs will let it slide because it's more important to them to be the party in power than anything else.

On a brighter note, blue Colorado has one of our senators, Cory Gardener(R) on the run. He has done and said a lot of wildly unpopular things here and refuses to show his face at a town hall because he's a coward, obviously afraid of his constituents. His seat is up for grabs in the 2018 midterms and I think we may have a very good chance of replacing him with a dem candidate. If there are just a few more states with enough angry voters, we may have a chance of taking back the senate. (fingers crossed)
