I remember being happy when Trumpy won the Repub nomination because I was convinced that there was no way in hell America would send a crazy moron like him to the WH. I thought it was going to be a slam dunk for us Democrats. So I am in that place again - having the Trump crazies run against our Dems on paper seem like our only chance of taking back seats. But what if America puts even more crazies in office? Like that Roy Moore or Greg Gianforte? My fear is that the worse is yet to come.
