We've got mid terms coming soon.
This Nazi-like policy has got to be harming the Republicans.
Some of them must be freaking out.
Dump is a millstone around the neck of his party.

(10,721 posts)...we better hope every person with a conscience who is permitted to vote does vote. And that high population centers have plenty of polling places.
Elections should take place over several days, at least one of which should be a national holiday. And everyone should have a vote-by-mail option.

(52,253 posts)donnie *will* be a millstone around the neck of his party, but as long as he's got foxnews on his side and the rest of the media haplessly repeating his propaganda, he can get away with it.
eventually the media will turn on him, or he'll lose foxnews somehow, or sheer numbers of democrats will make his brand of toxic extremism nonviable.
but it's not clear that we're there yet....

(28,394 posts)Some republican senators have made or written critical statements. OK..... so why can't they sign on to Feinstein's bill, #KeepingFamilesTogether? Some of those politicians like Flake and Corker are retiring anyhow. Others like Collins and Murkowski have openly voted against trump in the past. Is there not one darn patriot on their side of the aisle?
I won't criticize McCain because I know he cannot travel to DC to stand up for the families, but he has issued a statement. The republicans never, ever put their actions where their mouths are. Look up "feckless" in the dictionary, and there they are.
