One Good Thing That Trump Has Accomplished Is....

that he caused the American People to pay attention as to what is happening in Washington D.C. and the Party in power - the Repugs.

The American People now see just how sinister this Party is and how chaotic they have made the whole process.

Yes - there will be a bloodbath in 2018. Not because the Repugs or Trump didn't keep their campaign promises - but because the Repugs have revealed their true colors as to how destructive they are to this country and how they really hate anyone but the top 1%'ers.

The Dems will take back both the House and the Senate in 2018. The Dems will have the leverage going forward to contain - either Trump (if he is still in power and isn't in jail for treason) or the remnants of the Repug Party that will remain in the WH after Trump.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The self-destructiveness of the electorate should not be underestimated.

We had better get our cyber security ready for a Russian invasion. If it happened once, it can damn well happen again. We'd better make sure we are damn ready for 2018.

That may be true, but the Democratic Party still has work to do. We have to have clear alternative ideas to the Republican Party's ideas. Then we have to find a way to get out base out to the polls. If our base does not vote we will not win.

will be slated for cyber-security. Maybe we could hire some more kids on their mom's sofas in the basement eating Twinkies and Red Bull.
