Comey Testimony Will Change NOTHING. GOP Leadership Proves It Will Do NOTHING At ALL.

Based on the reaction of GOP leadership nothing will change and Trump will be protected by the GOP. They do not seem to fear 2018 elections either. I wonder why.

Unless turnout is truly massive the GOP is betting that gerrymandering and typical low turnout of Democrats in non-Presidential elections will allow the GOP to retain control.

I hope that events prove me incorrect.

Yes, this early. It should include bus drives in poor areas to get people their photo IDs. 2018 will be a street brawl and Democrats need to fight to counter all the coming GOP BS and theft.
