Lets admit the truth..

We have a country filled with racism, hatred, ignorance...and 95% of these people.... TODAY.. identify themselves as REPUBLICANS!!

So Donald Trump is in...no doubt...

And in the long run, this is a good thing...

The amount of backlash against his presidency ( Woman, Blacks, the LGBT Community and other minorities will be overwhelming in Nov PERIOD!

I truly believe that was part of Hillary's trial balloon phase trying to reassure the Dem base even thou she has dirty laundry too numerous to count, a plethora of negatives, $Millions in Wall St speaking fees, and active, on going, possibly criminal investigations ... she can still win the GE


There exist the type a hatred for Hillary out there that will mobilize republicans like never before

8. I trully admire and respect Hillary Clinton - what I detest and find TRULLY DISGUSTING

Thinly veiled lies designed to deceive the electorate into voting for some one so obviously corrupted by the moneyed interest of Wall St Banks

Some one claiming to represent the interest of common everyday average citizens on the street while using political clout, insider politics, backroom dealings, to rig the system (DNC) to deny and or nullify the votes of the public


Now that is TRULLY DISGUSTING

and BTW have a nice evening

10. Then they will be contributing to a right wing Supreme Court

Obamacare repeal, Roe v Wade repeal, no movement on climate change at all, l enactment of Ryan's budget, a foreign policy that would be laughable if not so dangerous, etc. I have no respect for anyone who sits this out. It's narcissistic in the extreme.

9. Republicans control 34 States. They control who runs elections and who counts the vote in 34 states.

Gubernatorial and legislative party control of state government

I remember 2000 and what happened in Florida.

This will be a tough election and Republicans can win.
Do count our Presidents before the last vote is counted.
