Doesn't anyone remember Paul Hackett vs. "Mean Jean" Schmidt?

That race in 2005 to replace Rob Portman in the House was basically a carbon copy of GA-6. And Schmidt was every bit as odious as Handel.

Look, last night sucked. There's no denying it. But if we keep fighting, better days are ahead.

It's time to start considering the possibility that the Trump administration, the House, and the Senate are not the bodies as described in the US Constitution.

If not "Peace with Russia so we can wage war with Muslims", if not tainted elections, if not "People who want healthcare for all are kooks, but we should normalize the alt-right which wants to make one night a year where all crime is legal"; then where is the line, where and when do we say we no longer have a government that represents us?

Read Gene Sharp, it might be time to say this book is needed for the US.

I have a strong feeling Handel is going to meet the same fate as Mean Jean--being primaried out of office over massive corruption charges and other stupidity.
