Rebuilding the blue wall proves to me without a doubt that trump DID NOT win the 2016 election, but rather that vote totals were INDEED altered in WI, MI, PA for sure, and probably as well in NC, FL, and perhaps even in GA. I'm sure of it now. That orange fuck IS NOT the president, the Russians altered the vote totals. donald j trump knew about it and blessed the operation.

Rebuilding the blue wall means that those states are going to put extreme security in place to protect the integrity of the vote and those governors will do everything possible and legal to make sure voter suppression tactics will be eliminated. Winning in KS as well means the integrity of the vote and the enfranchisement of every voter will occur there.

Finally, although it's not a given, it means more than likely, should he make it that far, trump WILL NOT win in 2020.

Everyone here knows I am a fucking Debbie Downer. But seeing that Blue Wall made me feel joy. Sure as a Florida progressive I am sad about Gillum and am heartbroken about Nelson, and not seeing Beto kick Cruz's ass also brought out the sads in me, but the blue wall is back baby. And in this I find once again a reason to be optimistic, cautiously, but optimism is back in this old soul.
