Six months until the mid-term elections

That is an eternity in politics.

At this moment, Democrats are predicted to probably win back the House and have a shot at the Senate. Will that change by election day?

The fascists Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are riding a wave of populism unlike any we have seen in our lifetime.

They are a threat to our democracy.

But, how do the Democrats get that point across to the voters of America?

And, more importantly, do the voters even care?

We may not agree with the shit-hole they are digging but we will all have to live in it.

It's a challenging time for America, and especially, the Democratic Party.

1. Democrats need run on more than just stopping Trump

even though that should be enough for most Democrats.

1) Repeal the Trump/Ryan Tax Scam
2) Restore Net Neutrality
3) Save Medicare and Social Security
4) Raise the minimum wage
5) Hard check on Trump and his cabinet to protect our children (DeVos) and our planet (Pruitt)

2. Just throw the big Trump baby into the lap of the Republicans and talk about something else.

Maybe that is a winning strategy?
