2. Typical. RepubliFAIL.

The Republicon Homelanders failed so miserably when they were in power, and now that they are out of power, they are trying to drag everyone down to their level in the cesspool of Republicon FAIL & FLAIL./

Sorry. Americans just don't want the negativity, the obstruction, the lies, the spin, or the patented Republicon Homelander FAIL.

He should do it way more often.
