Can we find just one profile in courage?

That will stand up to Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell and tell them that they are taking our country down the wrong road? In fact, it is a road to ruin.

With a cult of personality, such as Trump, it will be difficult to find even one that will refuse to drink the kool-aid.

The power of one can be very strong. We might think it would be easy to find one person with enough courage to challenge the powers above them?

But, who would it be?

And we don't have the votes in Congress to stop them from destroying the progress that has been made. We screwed up in a very big way last Fall. We'd better get started on the process of fixing things in 2018, or we will be screwed for a very long time to come.

We need to stop another SCOTUS pick...only we can't. We need to stop health care...only we can't in Congress unless the GOP moderates side with us...we need and we need. We needed to get our asses to the polls in November and vote...but some just couldn't get over email and sold the Democratic Party out and the country...And everyone should stop blaming the party for what foolish 'take you ball and go home' voters caused...our best chance to stop anything was in November.
