I guess "decent ones" may have overly restricted the pool.

My feeling is that the (R) was taken over in a hostile action by people around ronnie raygun and has never represented a true party of the people.

There have been a few stragglers that tried to link the death squads of the tea-partiers, gingrich/neocons/abramhoffs to some ideology of the reasonable repuglicons. I'm not sure what battle RMoney is fighting, all by himself.

I'm sure the existing (r)s in congress will willingly set their jibs to whatever wind blows in 2020/2021 - just to keep raking in the donor $s. (They don't give a shit about their federal salaries - laughable.)

must be purged of ALL Trump's creatures.

Republicans who aided Trump must be treated like any other collaborator/accessory to a crime.

Those who escape punishment must be told flat out that they might as well retire, since the Democratic Party will give then the same level of say they afforded us during their time in control. That is to say, none whatsoever. Once this becomes apparent, most of them will bail to the private sector and the cushy jobs awaiting them.

There's always a new crop of americans who don't "like" history or learning. And we'll be consigned to doing this over-and-over.

They're allies for now, but I see it as a "Stalin/Churchill" relationship. Come November 4th, where will they be? I'll gratefully take their help in this fight, but I'm not prepared to say they'll be hanging with us after the election.

against their "own" leader.

Of course, I'm not sure I trust the DCCCC in terms of openness. (Will this get me banned for life?)

... and stuff like that. If we're to have a thriving democracy, we need two parties who want the best for the country but profoundly disagree on the way to get there.

that will expose their selfish lack of character. They definitely share blame. Micro targeting this message to their constituents is critical going forward.
