41. true but Trump it going after our democratic institutions

Tue Jul 18, 2017, 01:23 PM

Jul 2017

Nixon was a power hungry bully, but Trump and his admin are much worse. They are carefully dismantling our government and it will take some doing to fix this all if the Democrats can win in 2020. Even if we take back the Congress in some part in 2018, these people will still be in place doing things to wreck the government. It will be long road to get it back, no matter if Trump goes down now or a year from now or not until 2020. If the Repubs get re-elected in 2020, all bets are off I think.
