Could these bomb attempts change the election?..Could the attempts

get people to come out and vote? Especially vote against Trump's language and attitude? Could people who were reluctant to vote before today, have more desire to come out to vote? Not just the desire, but the action of doing so? Voting when they might have not voted before today? I think so, but we will know in a couple of weeks. I sure hope people vote against Trump!!

Pretty much all that are left are the irredeemable, intractable "Well, you know, BOTH sides are..."



They'll never get out and vote. Never.

Unless they find the person who did it, sadly I think we'll forget about it in a few days.

It will be back to caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan, caravan.

It belongs in the general ever-increasing pile of craven shit-soul toxicity. This isn't about politics. It's about preserving human dignity against the malignancy of human depravity.

Face it, everyone who has even the slightest problem with attempting to kill/murder/maim/destroy Democratic leaders was already highly motivated to vote Republicans out in the midterms. No, what this will do is remind the stupid cooter redneck racists how much they love this shit.
