this election is no longer about D vs R

It's about country vs party....it's the ultimate loyalty test of every right/conservative voter in America....

It's a test of their morals, their patriotism, their belief in the rule of law....

Either the vote American or they vote Russian ....but this November all cards are on the table and we're going to find out where these people stand and make them go on record as the party of traitors.


How many will sign their name in betrayal of America?

Republican rhetoric and policy over the last 50 years made the rise of someone like Trump inevitable. McConnell says conservatives have never had it better than they do under Trump.

We can hope that Republicans stay home, but I'm not counting on any voting for Democrats (aside from some anti-Trump Republican pundits on MSNBC).

After Trump, Republicans will attempt to suggest that all is well and that they can continue to be the party that created the Trump monster. We need to make sure they take ownership. We need to make it clear that - with or without Trump - the Republican Party is a racist, sexist, greedy and morally bankrupt institution.

Wish we could trust beyond a shadow of a doubt none of the voting machines will be tampered with.

That's when Rupert Murdock was getting control of our media and much of the cable networks, and sNewtie was a big help. He os also the one person who is most responsible for the decline in PBS neutrality.
