(6,991 posts)As long as you have enough GOP members of Congress scared of him tweet-shaming them, on his side (Yertle,Ryan etc), enough stupid, racist, ignorant people voting for & still believing in tRumputin, and enough folks like Sarandon, West and people on the left like those two continuing to throw hissy-fits about how a Dem candidate is as bad or worse than tRumputin, continued GOP gerrymandering, voter-crosschecking, voter-purging, voter Id'ing Democrats OFF of voting rolls, horribly old outdated voting machines that are either too old to still be in service or very old or EASY to cyber-hack, ruskie interference (Anyone have any evidence that a tRumputin Dept. of Homeland Security is doing ANYTHING to stop ruskie interference anytime soon?) and thuglicans controlling every aspect of voting in this country IE: collecting the votes to COUNTING them .... I'm extremely dubious as to HOW Democrats can take back the Senate in 2018 or win the GE in 2020 no matter WHO they run and even IF they somehow finally craft a killer, on point message (Wait a minute, that's IF there's a GE in 2020). And before anyone says IF tons of Dems get out to vote, we can overcome thuglican cheating---You don't think they can make enough Democratic votes "go missing" to get the desired result they want which would be to have fewer Dem votes than thuglican votes? .....
Yes, Mueller I believe is going to find (If he already hasn't) a great deal on tReasoous tRumputin and his tReasonous gang, but that will take some time. All has to be done properly--Mueller has to cross every T and dot every I.
By the way, Moore wasn't really a Nostradamus knowing what we know NOW about the 2016 GE. We know about GOP-lead voter purging, voter-crosschecking, voter-Id'ing, and about Ohio/Florida/NC and about how enough Bernie voters having hissy-fits thinking that their candidate was somehow "cheated" out of the Dem nomination got mad and voted for tRump or didn't vote for the Dem candidate at all which helped that fat, tReasonous thing into the White House
And back to the ruskies, we STILL don't really know the depths of what they DID to help get tRumputin's mentally-deteriorating, racist, sexist, fat, tReasonous installed ass into the White House, and we don't know what they have up their sleeves for 2018 and beyond--that's IF we have a 2020 GE. Hillary was WINNING Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania on election eve, only to BARELY lose those states by 77,000 or so votes. But then again, when you think about all of the shenanigans that went on across all 3 of those "tRumputin MUST win states." ....
Crosscheck Removed 450K Voters in MI, 270 K in AZ and 590 K in NC.
Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.
Starting in 2013 just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOPcontrolled states.
The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
The GOPs Stealth War on Voters, 8/24/2016.
Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107 Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257 Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008 North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including Caging, purging, blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to provisional ballots that will never be counted.

For as DISASTROUS as tRumputin/thuglicans have been, Democrats are on the ropes going into 2018 as of now. There's NO denying that.
