When will the Republican Party be held accountable?

Nixon, Reagan's Iran/Contra, W's illegal invasions, crashing the economy,...etc.

Are they going to slide on being aided by Putin's Russia also?
The next time Democrats are in power are we going to pull the "look forward to the future" claim again? I certainly hope not. Not in this case.

As necessary in these situations. Letting W skate from war crimes was a mind blower to me personally. Who would have thought something even worse was in store.

I hope at least in the 2018 and 2020 elections the Dems go after the Repugs for their hand in enabling a Trump to even run in their primaries. They didn't properly vett him. They looked the other way when it came to misogyny, racism, advocating violence, etc. They didn't hold him to releasing his taxes. They were complicit with his constant threats to the press; women, immigrants, the intelligence agencies, etc.

They need to pay for this in 2018 and 2020 - and they need to lose the House, the Senate and in 2020 the Presidency.

The Dems need to be sure that they run their campaigns against the Repugs.
