What is easily lost in the travails of the idiot in the WH is the underlying reality that the modern @GOP is completely bereft of policy solutions to any of our problems.

Cutting taxes for the top in an already strong economy may create a short term bump, but is a long term risk
Building walls when there is historically low immigration illegal or otherwise does absolutely nothing to deal with the immigrants who are already here.

They have no proposals to deal with an upcoming retirement security crisis other than cuts to earned benefits.
They’ve increased the deficit they railed against when Obama had to spend to save the economy they just sank by around $2 trillion. Just to cut taxes for their wealthy donors. In the long run, that increased deficit is an unnecessary burden on the economy. They don’t care.
Global warming has created unprecedented natural disasters. The @GOP response is to deny it exists. No help in sight.

They want to take women back to the dark ages & race relations back to Jim Crow. When enlightened people protest, they try to squelch their speech.
Last year’s health care “repeal & replace” fiasco proved clearly that despite having 7 years to figure it out, there was no “replace.” None at all. And health care costs & drug prices continue to spiral upward as they try to cripple the ACA.
But what I really want to highlight is how desperate this solution-less @GOP is to retain power despite its dearth of solutions to any of America’s problems.

Two huge developments in House races as the wildly desperate @GOP feels Virginia slipping away from them.
In VA-07, Paul Ryan’s super PAC attacks Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA counter-intelligence officer, by distorting details of her fraudulently obtained security clearance application. How desperate. How low can you go?
And today in VA-02, the wildly desperate @GOP loses its bid to submit a rigged petition full of phony signatures to put a third party candidate on the ballot against Democrat Elaine Luria, a 20-year Navy veteran. Incumbent R Jason Taylor’s campaign operatives plead the 5th!
These events & the perpetual @GOP voter suppression & illegal gerrymandering efforts as in PA & NC shouldn’t be ignored while we obsess about the moron in the White House.

This @GOP is cornered, immoral, solution-less, desperate & dangerous. We have to band together, fight & win
