For me, its all VERY strange. When I watch the TV all they can talk about is how, when Republicans goto meeting, they get chewed on and screamed at. The suggestion is that the Republicans are loosing a bit. Then the numbers come in and that is not really the state of things. Trump, however, is doing exactly what he did when he was the worst president the United States had ever had. Last night, and today, I listened and watch TV and everybody seems to be talking about how trump is doing, exactly, what he did the first time he was president - basically, he took a pretty good economy and screwed it up! One thing you can count on, when its Trump - he screws it up. His history proves that means he screws up EVERYTHING! The Difference, this time, is that he has a large group of supporters who love, believe, and adore Mr Trump. I was talking to a lady, yesterday, who came home (she doesn't live here) to visit and found that her father and mother are part of maga bigtime. She said she brought facts about what Trump said and what the truth was - they ran her out of the house for even suggesting any such thing. Lest we forget - these people are NEVER going to change their Trump belief, no matter what Trump does.
Everybody I know, who do not like Trump, are just as puzzled as the lady whose family are serious maga folk. they are, as explained, not even half of those who vote but then we have the rest. One would think they might understand and not vote Trump/Republican. Again and again this too has been tested and it just makes no sense!! (I think) Our problems, from the beginning, is that we have a voting public which is incredibly ignorant, haven't a clue, do not give a damn (remember, something like 20% of the Democrats didn't even vote last time around!!) and are too busy to even care. I have wondered, a lot, how and why such a thing has happened. I have been told, for instance, that high schools are no longer teaching students about their own government. I asked about this and Port Angeles said that have always done that. Kind makes one wonder.
Anyway, we currently have a Democratic party which is almost trying. We have a public voting public which, obviously, has serious mental problems. I think it started with voting in a real criminal, with a real bad record which was simply ignored by a majority, a small one but still a majority. That group didn't do it just once but TWO times! This, even when he was considered, after his first time, as the worst president in United States history! i do not get it. Perhaps the Republican side understands why and how they have won and the Democratic side are like an old lady who knows everything when she knows nothing. I still don't get it!
I have hoped to see the Democrats at least win available votes for congressional candidates are current. That is going on right now. We will see but, well, you all know.
I'm sorry - I just do not get it!!
