Biden on Dem wins: 'Resounding defeat' for Trump

Source: The Hill




BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/08/17 07:30 AM EST

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday celebrated the Democratic victories in states across the country.

"A resounding defeat tonight for President Trump," Biden tweeted.




Democrats on Tuesday roared back, claiming big victories in races up and down the ballot and across the country.

Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) won the Virginia governorship by a wider-than-expected margin. Democrat Justin Fairfax won the lieutenant governor's office, becoming only the second African American to win a statewide post in Virginia since Reconstruction.

and instead frame it, on Trump and the entire Republican party.

For example:
"People have now realized that the Republican party is not interested in the good of the country but to serve the 1% and their personal agendas, and they are doing this with Trump as a decoy."

They all have to be exposed, the danger with isolating this to Trump is that once he is gone, and we all hope that is soon, the rest of those creeps will be exonerated to continue with their lies and their crappy agendas. Let us not forget that "the quiet one" (Pence) is as bad, or worst than Trump.

He's potentially much worse. He not only wants to do the same damage, and probably more, than drumpf, but he has experience in worming his way around how government functions.

* Meant as a reply to Perseus, in the first response.*
