More important to get rid of the complicit Republican Senate or Donald J Trump?

And if he is an existential threat to our country, does it matter who runs against him, if he/she can defeat Trump?

If that is the case, they could disinter the body of Richard Nixon and run him against Trump. How could anyone, dead or alive, be worse?

If Mr Bloomberg could guarantee that he could beat Trump, would you support him?

If I had a choice between ridding ourselves of the Republican Senate majority and getting rid of Trump, I think I would choose to have a Democratic Senate.

I prefer both. We get the satisfaction of voting that crook out of office and our good new President has the power of Congress to undo the Trumpublican mess. Kicking McConnell to the curb is a nice benefit too.

It's his entire administration. By winning the presidency, we could dump Barr, replace all the cabinet members, etc.

Moscow Mitch is absolutely decimating the federal courts, which are the only check on Trump. That damage will outlast Trump.

But given either/or, it would be kind of fun to watch the orange one's reaction to being told no.

My real answer is BOTH!

Moscow Mitch is hideously dangerous, as is Trump. But Trump also has his cabinet splattered all over the country doing terrible damage in ways we do not yet know. Interior? Selling our public lands to the highest bidder. Education? I don't even need to say what that hideous woman is doing. HUD? Let's get all those pesky poor people out of their subsidized housing - nasty takers. BARR!!! Treasury? A corrupted IRS? What could go wrong?

So yeah, BOTH.

Both are equally unAmerican traitors. Mitch and Rump both must become part of history (like Hitler and Nazis). I will vote for which ever Dem candidate is on the ticket as I have since I turned 18. In every election I have voted and I voted for Dems, down the ballot like any true-Blue Dem would/must vote.
