The reason the rethugs don't care is because they are only concerned about the 2020 elections

They could care less WHAT traitorous thing 45 does. They could care less how far the corruption goes. None of it matters. They are worried about the negativity surrounding 45 affecting the outcome of the 2020 elections.

Well, I say ...


Let's give them something to worry about then!

They have no workable strategy. Things will only get worse and they know it. The leaks will not stop and they know it. Their agenda is in freefall and they know it. They are losing the middle and they know it.Blood is in the water and they know it.
Should we continue to fight for midterms ? Of course. Complacency is our worse enemy. I suspect that you are afraid that we will sit back ,eat our popcorn and bask in the glow of the dailyTrump shitshow ,all the while forgetting that Trump is not the only danger to us. If so , I share this fear. The truly devoted will always go to the polls -our job is to remind the less interested and less engaged of the damage that has been done and the damage that is on the horizon. We need to stay active , we need to keep the resistance alive .So far , so good . Folks are still pissed , but tomorrow is another day.

They have a short window of time and a lot to do. They promised their voters that they would dismantle Obamacare, give all the money to the 1%, and pass a lot of laws taking rights away from everybody but rich white straight people.

Trump's antics are interfering and slowing the progress on these Republican goals.

I think that's why Sessions appointed Mueller. Don't be distracted or appeased. Keep the pressure on Congress to appoint an independent prosecutor.
