I believe the only way for them to find their way “back home” is for a taste of socialism to smack them upside the head.....hence hillary.
I have no doubt we could recover from 4 years of her. She will have a very tough time getting anything through. And with her in "charge", we just may have a shot at getting back what we have lost.
