We just don’t know to what level they will sink. Just when you can’t believe one outrageous action, they spew out another, just like the Fool In Chief. I’d like to get my hands on their secret playbook.

I think the GOP senses their imminent demise, as demographic trends seem to indicate their frankly white-centric "conservative" ideals are on the way out as far as the majority of the potential voting population is concerned--and even their traditional tools of gerrymandering and voter suppression soon won't be enough for them to eke out enough wins to keep control of the Senate, and then they are basically fucked. They obviously have no compunction whatsoever about cheating to win, and/or subverting normal processes and breaking laws to stay in power. They are basically desperate at this point; they will do anything they can, and I just don't see this ending well with respect to the brainwashed death-cult that supports them.

Dems continue to underestimate the GOP. The Republican Party no longer cares one iota about American Democracy. The sooner Dems acknowledge this, the better off we'll be.

The time to play dirty is long past. Sure, we are the party who respects Democracy, we can hold onto that at the same time we play dirtier.

I hate to say it, because I know he's a hot button issue, but Bernie is the only one out there consistently attacking Trump and the GOP the way they need to be attacked.
