I actually feel sorry for the Dem. that wins in 2020

The rethugs are setting him up for failure! If we DO NOT have both houses he will be in trouble.I know he will succeed, but like Obama he will inherit a fucking mess, maybe even a worse mess. This country should NEVER vote in another fucking RETHUG.

I had thought we'd never vote in another repug before this so guess I was wrong. Told my Trump supporting relatives exactly that and had to eat crow, but he's the worst nightmare of a pres ever and there's no way to hide that fact.

left by their Republican predecessors. But after Trump, this mess is going to take years to undo.

But you are right. We need house and senate this time around. Though Republicans were bad then, they are that much worse now.

I still believe that good ideas win in the end.

The next president will probably have to deal with an R senate at least for the first two years. The answer is to go direct to the public and generate overwhelming support for each proposal.

Even R politicians need to get re-elected. We may never get the senators from Utah and WV but, with work, I believe we can get a majority.
