2018 will be the year Republicans try to magically turn Trump into a Democrat

I saw it happen to W, but it took 6.5 years. Only after Democrats trounced Republicans in 2006 Winning back both houses of Congress. Republicans spent his last year and a half complaining to each other about how W was a Democrat, and had been a closet Democrat forever, but only after Democrats 2006 election, and W's 26% approval.

Won't take 6.5 years for Donald. It will begin soon after tonight's election results. And will be full song in 6 months. By next summer Fox News "guests" will be saying, "You know of course Donald Trump was a registered Democrat nearly his entire life".

I have seen this shit before.

They'll start with the "He's not a REAL Republican" bullshit.

Our job is to remind them that "Uh-uh." Trump IS the Repub party and the Repub party is Trump.

There will be 3 Spins tomorrow

1. Trumps, he will blame illegal voters, the media, maybe the GOP
2. The Never Trumpers in the GOP, they will blame Bannon and Trump
3. The GOPers you are talking about: they will plead for unity at first, and then start running away from Trump before 2018

The important thing is to stop Trump ( I am sure impeachment talk will ramp up) and to stop Trumpism, all his bigoted bullshit

His wall is toast
