We are on the eve of destruction. We all need to resist as hard as we can to make it to 2018. If we do not take back the Senate at the very least and some Governors seats I doubt we will make it without severe damage to 2020.

I can only hope that the GOP crashes and burns and does not take the rest of us with them.

the word "survive", doesnt it!

Unless dumbshit gets us ALL killed, we will be here, but we wont have a democracy or a nation of laws.

Trump supporters dont understand the very reason they have jobs, cars, homes and clean air and water is BECAUSE we are a nation of LAWS. The same laws trump has made very clear he has no intention of abiding by, that he is not required to and to some extent neither are his supporters.

This means we lose everything. His followers dont understand that, yet.

But they will, when it is too late, but they will...you can take that to the bank.

hope the "bank" recognizes the currency and accepts it.... I don't really think they will really care. There is a hard core % of his base of supporters that want a civil war to get rid of the 'others'...with all the violence, mayhem, gore and death that they desire to happen to the possessor of the main thing they fear, the strength of the African-american vs their KKK brand of strength.

So we will see, won't we.....
