14. The republican party is in charge by name only.

Sep 2017

Something has replaced the republican party. It's in pieces, that can't get anything done except things that destroy our way of life. Deregulation for example. They are just attacking government, government agencies, the constitution, our laws, immigrants etc.

It's no longer a party for all of the people. It has become something that is very dangerous. We will all find this out very soon. Mark my words.

When Trump goes down he is going to blame the republican party. He will blame everyone. Will the republican base vote for a moderate republican in 2020. I don't think so.
