Is 17 November. A Friday. Good day to take the weekend off and blame Dems for everything. It surely must suck horribly to be a Republican at any level, state, municipality, anywhere in America. Their hero hitler at least had a plan.

Conservatives in the house know they don’t know what they are doing. And yet stupid people vote.

If they elect Jordan, that could be their death knell. Isn’t it fascinating that good people are having this conversation while the clock ticks.

Best case scenario, the gop is on life support thanks to trump.
