Every day the Republicans allow this insanity to continue hurts them in the long term

Normally the majority of Americans just go about their business and don't pay much attention to what is happening politically. That's NOT the case anymore. Because Trump is the absolute worst attention whore that ever walked the face of the planet, all of America is watching. They are watching Democrats fighting for the right thing, and they are watching Republicans make excuses for and going along with Trump.

The Republicans have been exposed for what they really are...and people FINALLY are seeing it. That is why you see them backing away and softening on some things...because the people are watching and calling them and telling them NO! This is going to really hurt the GOP in 2018.

Every day that the Republicans don't stop Trump is another day their reputation with America takes a serious hit.

If nothing else, the orange idiot got America's attention...and when people watch, Democrats win.

That is why Democrats need a strategy for 2018 midterms. kentuck Feb 2017 #1
2018 campaign theme should be "GOP is Trump" dalton99a Feb 2017 #2
Theme should be the classic "Are you better off?" DetlefK Feb 2017 #5
"Is America Great Yet?" Danascot Feb 2017 #9
Bad idea. The obvious answer is: "Not yet." DetlefK Feb 2017 #10

A referendum on Trump. He promised making America great again. He promised so much winning, you'll get tired of winning. He promised jobs. He promised that the US would be respected again. He promised to replace Obamacare with something better. He promised that he personally has a superb strategy against ISIS, ready to be employed.

Simply ask the voters if they are better off now.

Yeah . . .. let me know when Americans ever get sick of Republicans.

Let me know when that day comes.

I've been waiting for Republican politics to finally die for years, but it just keeps picking up more and more people.

The most galling aspect of this is that they blame "liberal smugness" for the voting shift. You know who employs this line of thinking? Abusers ("You MADE ME DO THIS!!!&quot . Anything, of course, to take the blame away from themselves.

I didn't make them stupid enough to vote for President Pussygrabber . . . they did that entirely on their own. Hey, "Party of Personal Responsibility" . . . TRY TAKING SOME FOR ONCE!!!

I live in Wisconsin and the Rs have buried us here. After 6 years, the DEMS are invisible to them. They cheat,lie and steal elections. If we ever take control here, it will take until after I am dead to undo the crap Walker has done. Take the rose colored glasses off, we had to.
