Hoping to defeat Trump this November may be a fools errand. [View all]

Trump is not just going to cheat this election, he is going to destroy the election process. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am. Trump is acting more and more like a dictator everyday. He openly destroys any threat, any person who gets in his way. He will do the same this November.
