Here we go again. That’s one reason why the Rats took the house in 18. A lot of Pubbies retired. Other reasons:

1. Mueller kept the Russian investigation going even though they knew that there was no collusion from the beginning.

2. The Rats lied,as usual,about their “conservative beliefs”.

3. The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings motivated their crazy base.

4. Ballot harvesting in Mexifornia.

5. People fell for their health care lies.

6. I still believe that idiot that sent those fake bombs had an effect on the election.

7. And last,all of the crooked votes that they claim are not happening.

Meanwhile the Republicans can’t get a message going if it were handed to them.

He was far from being one of the worst but he did give us the PATRIOT act and that was bad enough to tarnish his otherwise ok record completely in my book.

Not if you ask Scott Walker. Wisconsin might have gone Trump but it’s still a blue state.

I haven’t heard. The Rats may be crazy but they’re not stupid when it comes to winning by any means necessary.

I am very opposed to term limits, the swamp can always find another empty suit to fill vacancies but we have a hard time finding anyone decent.

Let the voters throw people out if it needs to be done.
