The Republican Party needs to drop down to a fair and balanced 18% representation in our government and allow the adults to hash out the Recovery. Then we can actually face the future with thoughtfulness and philosophical bravery. You know. For real. The Real Thing, not this 'let us rob you and lob grenades around' reality.

I know I, myself, am ready to try just about anything to have things return to "normal" again. I am sick to death of being ashamed of Trump, of being afraid of Trump, and of being mad at Trump because he acts like such a bully.
