In one year, no one will admit to having voted for Donald Trump.

No Republican, no independent. That loudmouth down the street? Changed his mind at the last moment. 'I stayed home'. 'I fought bravely against him from inside the GOP.' That's all we'll hear. A cautionary tale, just like George W. Bush. A boogeyman.

No one voted for Bush, either. He's a Democrat, I heard on Fox.

They said Kerry faked his war injuries.

They try to escape their past, but I remember.

Since Reagan, the Republican Party has been wrong. They have been against regular people.

still pisses me off how terribly they smeared a war hero like kerry and the "liberal media" allowed them to get away with it.

A year from now you'll be seeing bumper sticker that say "Don't blame me, I voted for Donald."

Every trivial thing that goes wrong, every burp in the economy, every rise in the cost of anything at all, will be blamed squarely on Hillary Clinton. And if Democrats take back the Senate and (oh, how I wish!) the House also, the blame will be never ending.

Which is why we should remember whose yards those Trump signs were planted in.

Not only will I never do business there ever again, I'll ensure that others remember their malfeasance.
