We have no excuses now. Our eyes are wide open.

... editorial contains long list of bad behavior by tRump

On Tuesday, voters will make a decision in what is the purest midterm referendum on a sitting president in modern times:

Will we take a step, even a small one, back from the ugliness and the race-baiting that has engulfed our country?

Or will we affirm that we are really the intolerant and frightened people Donald Trump has made us out to be?

If we choose the latter, 2018 will in some ways be more difficult to take than 2016. This time, we don’t have the luxury of saying we didn’t really know what Trump would do.

Our eyes are wide open.

He was a piece of shit then, still is...

My heart sank when I heard the news he got the presidency... I was dumbfounded enough people would actually vote for him to allow this travesty to happen.

I've met people like trump, Narcissist... to the point of being a disorder... it's in the DSM book...

He won't change... but it's not just him I'm angry at... it's the enablers and cohorts of his...

trump is creating a scene and keeping all eyes focused on him while his partners in crime are picking your pockets, taking your jewelry, and planning to rob your house later.

A lot of loot is being shuffled around, laws being cut from the books, new laws slipped in, ect...ect... while trump has all eyes focused on him...
