Republican claims they will start investigating Clinton right after the election

are to suppress the hopes of Democrats and make them apathetic. So too the claims that no supreme Court nominee will be accepted. People are beginning to get ziggy with Hillary as Trump has reveal himself to be just a bore who only plays one tune. People are remembering how likeable she was before the MSM made this a horse race by giving Trump so much free airtime. So the GOP is pulling out all the stops to keep people from imagining a great President Clinton implementing a progressive and great agenda focused on growing the middle class, to lower turnout and down-ballot voting for Democrats. They want to deny any visual of what a Hillary 'ship of state' will look like: powerful, steady and backed by engineers and other expertise as it plows forward. Instead they are painting a picture of one rubber dingy with one oar going around in circles.

...Old Southern remedy for curing a chicken-killing dog: Take the carcass of the dead chicken and tie it around the dog's neck until it rots off. Supposedly this cures a dog from killing chickens. Yes, I know, disgusting. No, I have never done it. But the point remains...

We need to tie several things around the GOPs neck until they rot:

1. donald trump
2. donald trump
3. congressional republicans obstructionism
4. donald trump; and finally,
5. donald trump.
