Going Forward - Block Everything!

Normalizing this cretin is a big mistake. The prize at this point is the 2020 election which will give the party in power gerrymandering ability. Success for Donald will make it harder for the Democratic nominee in 2020 to win and for the Democrats to right the wrongs of the current decade.

I know this is not in line with traditional Democratic thinking, but with so much at stake, anything less risks a whole generation lost. (Supreme Court, Social Security, Medicare, Etc...).

What do you think?

But somehow I'm afraid it may be a lot like passing that steer grazing alongside a dirt road out on the open range. It hears you approaching turns to look in the direction you're coming from just as you and your vehicle pass by -- never seeing you. But at least they see the second vehicle coming. In this instance, the steer is the voters, the first vehicle is the GOP and its obstruction of Obama, and we, the Democrats are the second vehicle.

is what I would rather see. If, by some twist of reality, they come out with a good policy, I don't think it should be blocked the way republicans blocked infrastructure spending.

My votes go only to people who I expect to act like adiults in their jobs.
