1- 🧵Republicans only do for THEMSELVES, to become richer and more powerful. They have no intention of ever working cooperatively with the democrats for a government that works smoothly in the best interest of the American people. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists 2- Can you name one positive thing Republicans have done? Remember the hundreds of newly proposed bills that were stacked up on Mitch McConnell’s desk, being held for political game playing and not for any legitimate reasons?

1- 🧵Let’s talk about just a few of the things Trump accomplished.

My area votes blue.
