There is a way some Republicans can show their anger with Mitch McConnell

...and he and the Republican Party will never forget it, and the leaders will be humiliated..

Those Republicans who believe that Mc Connell has betrayed this country by not letting everyone know what was going on with the hacking..and cared more about himself and his position and party..can do this single, simple and most effective thing: reduce Mc Connell's power and humiliate him by leaving the Republican Party and becoming Democrats.

That would leave a sting on the Republican party establishment that would never be forgotten. It would also, (provided 3 Republican senators did this) give a majority to the Democrats and effectively lesson Mc Connells power dramatically. There could be stronger opposition to Trump and his policies with the New Democratic Majority..

This may seem absurd, but it is the only way those that are unhappy with Mc Connell and Trump could powerfully oppose him.

A quote about living life, on life's terms..."You just do it.." Elizabeth Tayor..


"You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way." ~ Elizabeth Taylor

I don't know when or why she said it, but this quote says a lot about getting through on some difficult days.

Question, Would the media be reacting any different if the situations were reversed?..Trump-Hillary?

If...by some chance, Hillary had a minority of the total votes, and won the electoral college, would the media be reacting any differently as far as all things are concerned?...recount? legitimacy? over all view of the event? My sense is that the media would be reporting a lot stronger for the unfairness of the event. Somehow I feel we would be getting a different picture and view of the struggle to back Trump who would be winner of the total vote cast....

I doubt I can trust the Main Stream Media...but I might add, it is awful now, it was before the election, and it was awful in the run up to Trumps nomination..

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
