36. I disagree.

The republicans are in free fall right now, especially in Congress.

They hate women, want to gut medicare, gut social security, and continue with tax cuts for the 1%.

Not only do polls have them down to their lowest of a low.The majority in the polls, which include republicans disagree with the GOP congress.

So now they are going to advocate the slaughter of our babies over gun rights? I truly do not believe that the American public will stand for that .Not now. Not after this.

If they do then I will have lost all faith in our Humanity. We will have lost our very soul!
