"We" are the ones that let Trump slip into office...


If any of our candidates have the least failing in their background..or said something wrong ..did not act fast enough.. or do it exactly our way... they were pushed to the side.

We cheer for a candidate.. until the other side starts beating up on them then some of us.. start heading for the doors.. looking for the new perfect candidate..

We have a lot of good people who are going to run for this office of President... Lets back them up... stand with them as they fight the good fight..

I am feeling really good about the people we have running and those who will be getting into the race.. really good

the number one issue that shut down momentum was Comey and his shit attack on the Friday afternoon stand up Presser. If it had not been for the massive leads in early voting,folks,you could have seen a real ugly final results.

In the last week of the 2018 elections,locally the News Media pulled out all the stops in a effort to stall our Dem momentum,but,our boots on the ground just turned it up several notches and With the exception of one Judgeship,we blew the Rethugs out of town.

We should elect them all, together, and instead of a single president, have a presidential collective. Delegate separate responsibilities that speaks to each individual's strengths, minimize their input where they are weak.

We need a turbo superpower oval office to scrape us out of this giant turd we got wedged in, a team can solve way more crap than one person.
