When you are thought as being "wrong", -1972 results. Same will happen, Nov 2018 against Trump

...........................1972 Presidential Election


...................................Electoral Votes ............Popular Vote

Richard M. Nixon........ (I) Republican 520 .........47,160,000
George McGovern............. Democratic 17 .........29,150,000

McGovern was thought to be wrong and ran a lousy campaign. Lots of things went "wrong"...I recall and so do many here.

None of those things compare to the U.S.Government,.. on orders from the President...taking children from their parents....Babies from their parents put in strange rooms...

We are not looking at a "minor loss" for McGovern. McGovern made mistakes that made him look "bad"

Now, Trump ordered the taking of children from their parents. We all know that is wrong. So, when the election comes, a third may be in favor of this crap....But two thirds will be against this and vote with the Democratic Party. It is this country's only voice on this. Yes, the election is more than 4 months away. But people will never forget this..never....Those of us that see this as inhuman, in places where there is "competition" will voice their opinion, just like in 1972. The difference is..Trump is totally evil in what was done...November is the country's chance to voice its opinion.

...... The results will show this truth. .... This holding of children was/is incredibly wrong...... In November where there is competition...the Republicans will lose big. Their largest loss ever. Why? As a vocal protest to this awful, inhuman, thing that Trump did. ....I will be proud when the results come in 4 months and 3 weeks from now.

The country will vote and vote and get rid of Republicans. This is so wrong. A number of the so called evil supporters of Trump could be beaten. Maybe Cruz in Texas as an example. Heller in Nevada and many others. I don't think it will be easy for Republicans to defend Trump on this. It is just so wrong
