12. Trump will not last until 2020.

I hope you're right.

Everything is starting to crumble for that pig, but I'm frightened that our votes might not count as Dems. Who knows what this tRumputin DOJ will "allow" the ruskies to do in 2018 and in 2020? There's no love lost between tRumputin and the GOP, but they just blocked Dems from seeing tRumputin's tax returns (They need their vehicle in there for as long as he can LAST), and I don't trust the GOP who 99% of the time put party before country, and who in essence love Koch Brother's money. WOULD most stop the ruskies from interfering in our elections in 2018 and 2020 if it meant that they were close to securing those 2-3 state houses they needed to start 'deconstructing' (pres. bannon/Koch's etc.) the Constitution? I surely don't trust beauregard (That racist POS) to legitimately check out or check into anything concerning the GOP'S efforts on steroids to voter suppress, voter disenfranchise, crosscheck, voter purge our next big elections, even if cataloged and reported to him by the Dems and their lawyers. Thank God for the judicial rulings which has reversed some of these lower-court pro GOP rulings and shined a light on gerrymandering in Texas and the massive amounts of GOP dark money in state elections all across the country. It's bad enough that the laws to maintain our voting apparatus have been scrubbed courtesy of the GOP & tRumputin. Our voting machines are very susceptible to hacking.

America’s Voting Machines Are a Disaster in the Making.

Forget Russian hackers or Donald Trump's fear-mongering about voter fraud. This election could be compromised for another reason entirely.

"In July and August, Russian intelligence services hacked voter registration systems in Illinois and Arizona. But as menacing as foreign agents meddling with U.S. databases may seem, the biggest threat to the sanctity of the vote is the voting machines themselves. Like so much of America’s crumbling infrastructure, the systems we rely on to tabulate our votes fairly and accurately are in dire need of an overhaul. In thousands of precincts, the outcome of the election rides on equipment that’s outdated, prone to errors, and difficult or impossible to repair."
