Pretty Clear GOP Will Run On An Open Racist And Xenophobic Agenda This Cycle.

The GOP is ow totally i the open with its white supremacist agenda and will run on it. They believe that fear and loathing and catering to our worst instincts is the way to win in November. And they I am sure will welcome the Russians to create all the mayhem they want. Add to that rigging the vote we can now see it is a "pulling out all stops" illegal and otherwise is on the table.

Our best hope is to get out the vote. Any Democrat who shirks that duty is adding them. Even with all hands on deck we are facing a party that is planning for the kill and we must all realize that.

Here in Colorado the GOP is going to go batshit ballistic against someone like Polis. You can feel the vicious hatred and vile coming to of the GOP. They are already trying to paint Rep Polis as a communist who will California radicalize Colorado. We can already see millions of dark dollars coming into the state.

And we can see the open racist rearing its ugly head like a "badge of honor and even celebrations".

None of their economic policies benefit the people. It's virtually the same economy that Obama had without any rising wages, not counting CEOs. There's no war that GWB had in 2002, and even if there were, there's no national appetite for another war.

So, what else do they have? Racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and Nancy Pelosi. That's it.

Sex, lies and DUIs: GOP dumps oppo on Dem House hopefuls.

Republican ads are getting personal in the fight for the House majority.

By ELENA SCHNEIDER 08/20/2

Dramatized police dispatch calls of a DUI arrest. Allegations of sexual harassment. Court filings reviewing “failed” business investments.

Those are attacks leveled against Democratic congressional candidates in a new Republican ad campaign in recent days — part of a growing effort to personalize the midterm elections and disqualify individual Democratic hopefuls early in a bid to save the Republican House majority.

Trump has revolutionized Republican politics. No more need to hide your hate, just let it be, nay, embrace it openly.
