Based on what I see with Trump and Moore Democrats will not be rewarded for doing what is right the way things look. I really hope that I am wrong but i am not confident. My fear is that the GOP will use the bludgeon to stop Democrats from turning out.
The GOP is already showing that their base will turn out probably even for a proven murderers as long as IT IS NOT A COMMUNIST PRO TERRORIST PRO ILLEGAL ALIEN Democrat

We don't have to eat our own.

Many other groups he wants gone, but he will start with them I suppose.

(6,804 posts)All of the Democrats will resign or retire. We will then have Moore as US Senator and Joe Barton will remain in Congress. Republicans will be 🤭 laughing 😂 😆 their heads off . It is not hard to label us as weak, we stay true to form.
