This event with Trump, and the Republicans Party's failure to strongly condem him could

hurt the Republican Party greatly. come November. Trumps follow up today further strengthens that view that Trump is more pro Russia, than pro USA.

This November could be truly great for our side. Lots and lots of people are pissed at Trump. Even Comey has urged people to vote Democratic. While I hate Comey, I do not think he will be the last republican to take this view. There will be others. I sure hope we take back the senate, I would love to see that asshole McConnell become minority leader.

could create a takeover of both the House and Senate. Yes, we will need those farmers and the business that rely on farmers to be on our side, but we will need more. And I believe we will get more....a hell of a lot more.

It is called "What's the latest outrage? I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes!"

Then blame the other side for all the problems without reference to facts. It has been working and will work for an unfortunately large sector of the electorate.
