cozie most of us are pinning our hopes on 2018. It's the only way to do anything, absent Trump committed a truly felonious act or becoming truly insane, and I think he's been skating on the right edge of illegality and insanity for most of his business career so that's probably not going to happen. Rank stupidity and his big mouth won't be enough to get him impeached. If GW Bush didn't get impeached over fake WMDs getting us into an armed conflict in Iraq, it won't get Trump impeached if he does something similar in Syria or Iran. Plus the triumvirate (Bannon, Pence, & Tillerson) need to keep him where he is so they can continue to move behind the scenes whilst the world is looking at Trump and saying 'What the hell??!'.
GOP candidates are responsive to the majority of their constituents, period. I live in a 'red' Congressional District here in CA and I guarantee that our Representative doesn't give a rat's ass what we think because, right now, our district is staunchly 'conservative' with Reps and conservative third party voters outnumbering Dems and liberal third party voters 2 to 1. BUT, if there was a massive influx of residents that flipped those numbers, I guarantee you he'd start backpedaling on his stances on issues faster than you can shake a snake (an apropos analogy to say the least). For us, it's all going to be about getting out the vote. Registering unregistered voters, carpools to be sure they get to the polls, phone banks, rallies. The things that the GOP just did so successfully.
We almost returned a Dem to Congress in 2008, we missed it by 1200 votes. We just need a good moderate candidate who can appeal Democrats and undecided, but also to a good number of disaffected GOP voters.
Think I'm thinking about 2018, much?
