It seems to me that, for the good of the country, Trump and the Republican Senate have to be sent to the showers. The Whigs became the Republicans. The Republicans need to become something else -- if the country is to have a half decent future.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-16518801290441073772019-07-20T12:03:11.578-04:002019-07-20T12:03:11.578-04:00There are those who have compared the current rhet...There are those who have compared the current rhetoric coming out of the U.S administration to that occurring in Germany in the early 40s, whilst the actors on both the sending and receiving side are different now than then the general tone is far too similar to be ignored.

They're in too deep. Trump has harnessed them into his service. How do they get back out of this rabbit hole unless the Dems take back the White House?
