Sums up my feelings on the Repuglican party

Charlotte Meehan at USAToday.com wrote a piece entitled "My father would have loved Donald Trump"
Link to the article:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/10/02/trump-far-right-christian-rural-white-column/90715318/

What hit me the most was this sentence:

Trump is inciting the worst aspects of the human condition, those that make us small, weak, fearful and dangerous. Enacting dominance over others, rather than celebrating difference, cooperating and finding what we have in common, is the most destructive way forward I can imagine.


That line sums up the repuglican party over the last 40 years. I get so disgusted with them I can't even say their party's name correctly anymore.

We Dems must go after the Repug Party instead of just dumping on Trump. We need this election to be a crushing blow to the Repugs and need to really concentrate on winning the down ballot races and take back the Senate and even the House.

Trump is now taking care of his own demise with his self- destructive ways. He has set the scenario to paint the Repug Party in his image and left the Repugs all over this country ripe for the pickin'.

We need to finish the job he started for us.
GOTV and really Make America Great Again - take in the Repug Party - make them go away - and take back our country.

It's doable folks!!!!!
