8. Seriously?

These clueless wonders think we can survive four years of Trump??? Were they all living in a hole from 2001-2008? Look at the incredible damage of 8 years of Bush and Co. We are in an endless war started by stupid that cost this nation trillions of dollars that now can't be spent on little things at home--like infrastructure, education, and human services. The Middle East, which has never been known for stability, is a giant mess, and Dubya and friends made that happen.

Our economy almost tanked completely in 2008, and it has been a long, slow slog to get out of that mess.

I'm leaving out the disasters for reproductive health care and the clowns now on the Supreme Court for decades to come who have given us the brilliant Citizens United decision while decimating the voting rights act.

And thanks to the brilliant voters of 1980 we have the long-lasting legacy of Ronnie Reagan, whose policies damaged so much of what was actually working in this country.

Maybe if you live in a protected bubble somewhere, putting Donald, Mitch, and Paul in charge won't damage your life. For the rest of us, the impact will be devastating.
