A smart Republican would not get within ten miles of Donald Trump.

The entire Party is making a huge blunder by voting to give him a billion dollar tax break. That is what some folks say the Trump family stands to gain. They have no foresight.

Everything is not going to be peaches and cream forever. A good economy can turn bad, sometimes for external reasons never anticipated. Republicans are reckless in their effort to get a "win" for their President.

They should look at the last three races for a more realistic perspective, the ones in NJ, VA, and Alabama. If they think the voters were voting against Roy Moore only, and not Donald Trump, they are badly mistaken.

They are due for a rude awakening and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

They don't care about Trump at this point.

But their survival instincts are admirable. They stick together, stay on message, and have access to the deepest pockets in the country.

Unfortunately, ALL their energy is now channeled into destroying everything in sight.
