If Trump is removed from office

I hope people will not stop paying attention (again).

Pence and the Republicans in Congress are every bit as bad as he is - they just appear to be rational and right now they're using Donnie for cover.

In fact I just saw the post you put up a couple minutes before I added this one (probably while I was typing). Had I seen it first, I would not have felt the need to post this.

About the only positive thing I could say about Pence is that he might kick Bannon from the White House. Then again, who knows. We're still screwed either way.

the Repugs to Trump. We need to make the American People want nothing to do with either.

And in 2018

We need to get massive voter turnout to take back the House & Senate. Then at least we'll be able to contain Trump till 2020.

What's our policy positions to woo the deplorables and more of the smarter independent minded voters to our camp? We need issues that will sell across the spectrum. Being for continued refugee immigration doesn't seem to get much voter traction in this group. Just sayin.

11. We Don't Need The Deplorables....

There are 320 million American People. We need to get those Americans out to vote that traditionally sit out elections. I'm thinking that every day Trump and the Repug Party is motivating more and more of them to come out and vote.

Don't throw up negatives like having to woo deplorables. Let them sink with Trump and the Repug Party. We need to make the rest of the American People to realize that it is the Repug Party that is bringing this country down. We need to make the Repug Party own all this negativity.

Hell Hillary won the popular vote and if more people were motivated to come out to vote we wouldn't be having to deal with the likes of Trump and the Repug Party now. Trump didn't win the electoral college by much of a margin in the key states that put him over the top. Again - it's a matter of motivating the American People to register their vote next time and right now it looks like Trump and the Repug Party are providing that motivation.

We can't let them off the hook for 2018. We need to take back the House and Senate as it's the only way to muzzle Trump until 2020.

And no - they won't impeach Trump. The Repugs are afraid of Trump and they know if they attempt impeachment - he will bring down their Party one way or another. Either by spilling the beans on all their dirty tricks or lying about dirty tricks.

especially when it comes to LGBTQ rights and he has a facade of normalcy.

Trump has no real beliefs and is clearly nuts.

They will use him to sign legislation they have been lusting over for years and when he becomes too toxic he will get the heave-ho over the side.

Mission accomplished.
