If Trump does well, the Republicans do well...

Conversely, if Trump does not do well, the Republicans will likely be defeated.

That is the political reality that dictates their every action.

They worry that if Republicans do not vote for Donald Trump, they may not vote down the ballot either?

They feel they have no choice but to support Donald Trump. The country be damned! To hell with our democracy! This is about their survival.

This does not mean they love Trump. It means they love themselves and the gravy train they have been riding for a long time.

Tramp on the Street

Red Bandanna Blues

Are local precincts going to be ready to handle the people that will choose to vote in person?

I think there may be a lot that will choose to vote in person, rather than thru the mail?

Especially, if the numbers of coronavirus decline by the end of this month.

They will take that gamble.

But will the cities and localities be ready for them?

How does Mitch McConnell escape with so little criticism?

Without his complicity and support, Donald Trump could not continue to threaten our nation and every person in it, including those misguided sheep that follow him.

It was Mitch McConnell that dismissed the impeachment trial in the Senate, without a witness. He stabbed our system of checks and balances in the back and the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Pelosi, was left holding the bag and realizing they were only one-half of one-third of the three branches of government.

Mitch McConnell made Donald Trump possible. He also made two Supreme Court Justices possible. He rationalizes and justifies that it was worth it. That is how he wanted history to remember him.

But, not unlike a turtle, he crawls into his shell and hides from everyone. Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose? So far, it seems to have worked for him?
