Republicans have been wanting to repeal the New Deal since it was created in the 1930's. [View all]

They may be in the best position to actually accomplish their lifetime goal since that time?

What's to keep them from repealing all the labor laws? Environmental laws? Social Security? Medicare? The NLRB? Food stamps? The EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit)? And so many other programs that people had grown accustomed to?

If they can get all the billionaires thru the nominating process, and Donald Trump is not forced to resign, there is no limit to the damage they can do to the working and middle classes of this country.

This is the opportunity they have been waiting on for almost 85 years.

What's to keep them from doing it?
