They have failed to provide any oversight of the Executive Branch and have put us on the brink of crisis on several fronts. They have destroyed our reputation around the world.
They love to brag about all of their great accomplishments, such as a booming Wall Street, the huge taxcuts, massive de-regulation, etc.
But the truth of the matter is that their greatest "accomplishments" have not helped the average American. De-regulation has harmed the average American. Wall Street is a game for the big boys, and the average American is not in the game. The taxcuts were for the wealthy. The pittance that was given to average Americans has been devoured by the higher costs of food and gasoline.
They have nothing to brag about and they have laid down on the job. They should all be fired.

(11,885 posts)After destroying all programs they can, stacking the courts with corrupt people like kavanaugh, and destroying all health care and Social Security and Medicare , and giving the wealthy their tax windfalls from bribes they paid them with for their campaigns, and even threatened them , pass their tax scam for them or no more funding their campaigns. That's also called bribes. Now they want to make it all about immigration instead of their disastrous tax scam they gave the wealthy , and ran up the deficit to do it, again. If people don't vote these people out of office we'll be like what putin has done in russia, where nothing but corruption rules.

(31,464 posts)...theyll rush through SS and Medicare cuts before they lose power, and try again to repeal Obamacare. They dont care what we think because they now control the courts and will block or overturn anything a Democratic House puts forward. Weve seen how Crazy Mitch operates. Why should we expect anything different?
The real must-win, which has been largely written off, is The Senate. If Dems controlled the Senate as well as the house you see a whole new America. But Im not sure it would be one we want, with raging, armed right-wingers taking to the streets. #bluesenate18

(17,988 posts)He would go after Obamacare after the election. And the sleazy little Republicans like Steve Scalise who would have died without the best Health care,stood at the WH and clebrated the House voting to kill the ACA!
We need the Senate too , or they will obstruct and destroy even more of this country by allowing trump to run wild , and destruction of us by putting more onto the Supreme Court after he again runs off others now serving, and like they've done to Kennedy to install kavanaugh with. We have to retake the Senate also! Vote them all out of office, while we still can.

(34,426 posts)his support for removing protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and siding with pharmaceutical companies over citizens is a "dereliction of duty and that is a fireable offense."
Republicans are getting hammered over and over for their votes to abolish the ACA with nothing to replace it with except for breaks for insurance companies, and it appears to be working. Every Republican in Michigan is vulnerable. One of Bill Schuette's main goals when he announced for Governor was getting rid of the ACA Medicaid expansion in Michigan and that has mysteriously just disappeared from his ads and campaign literature. He's lying to everyone now about how he "wants to protect our health care." Yeah, sure you do, you goddamned LIAR.

(43,257 posts)They have accomplished what their masters installed them to accomplish: a doormat for Trump's unbridled, survival of the fittest, 19th century laissez-faire capitalism at the expense of workers, the environment, children, and social support. From their perspective, they're gold!

(22,156 posts)is a slap in the face of the billionaires, millionaires, republicans and Russians everywhere. Your vote equals on a one to one basis their vote. And I'll relish this slap in the face.
What we have going for us is millions of us, listening constantly to the bickering and bitching of rump, and cronies on everything we've done wrong supposedly, and frankly, I am getting tired of listening to their excuses. No more.

.... People are pissed at the lies, on top of lies on top of more lies. We are sick of those fu**ing lies. That is what I think will happen in less than 3 weeks...on the evening of November 6, things will change because most of us are sick of those lies on top of lies......

(6,011 posts)Progressive Dem control by 2022 is very doable.
As long as the Dems continue making progress on the nation's day to day business in Washington, the difference will be seen, and it will be rewarded.
