A long time hated opponent and potential picks due for Judges. In the last four years, tRUMP has chased away votes for him and made himself unpopular with a lot of Republicans. Meanwhile the Democratic base is fired up and ready to FIRE tRUMP everywhere across the country and they only get more determined to vote as obstacles are thrown up in front of them. Independents now know this country cannot survive another 4 years of tRUMP and Republicans.

tRUMP and Republicans have cannibalized their entire voting potential, just to feed their rabid base, while losing voters in every area. The Democratic Party has it's base supercharged, picked up a majority of Independents, and even picked up many Republican voters. tRUMP squeaked out victories in key States the last election, but is well behind in those same States now and is in trouble with traditionally Red States. If somehow up is down again and black is white, then where in the Hell did any allegedly new tRUMP and Republican voters come from to make that happen?.. It could only mean that tRUMP and Republicans defrauded voters with or without Russian help.
