Watch Obama's great stats drop like a stone under Trump. With hard work and a little luck we can drag Repugs down with him and make great changes to our government in 4 years. Get the $$$ out of politics!!!

canard. Winning elections is the only vehicle to get the cheerleading ideals enacted. Hamstringing candidates with useless ideals is just political suicide. Demonizing our own party is political suicide. Get elected and stay in power. The GOP understands that, and they act accordingly.
