Am I Being Unrealisticallly Hopeful??

Whenever I feel completely hopeless that we don't have the Presidency, the House, the Senate, and we won't have the Supreme Court either, my only hope is that one day, Putin is going to get so annoyed at tRUMP because tRUMP doesn't or isn't able to do something that Putin asks of him, and then Putin will come out with all the dirt on tRUMP! Am I living a fool's dream, or could that really happen one day??!

I think Trump and his gaggle of buffoons will crash on their own. Of course I didn't believe he could get elected in the first place.

we get Pence. And probably no cabinet changes.

Definitely unrealistic.

What needs to happen is to get working immediately to strengthen moderate Republicans and Democrats who run in the primaries, take over Congress and flip it out of the hands of the far right in 2018. Candidates should be flying out of the woodwork, especially to take Ryan's seat. And I say moderate Republicans because some seats just can't be won by Democrats.
