(8,203 posts)the RNC, and their members in congress and elsewhere, continue to allow all this hate and bigotry and lies...to permeate through our beautiful country...exposing the underbelly of our society, this is NOT good..especially when WE KNOW there are lone wolves among us....
Why are they letting this go on..party before American people? - The media - the almighty dollar?? - We need to demand trump be stopped now...the powers to be - need to replace him with a more sane person...for the safety of all - but then, you could say - that would cause even more trouble, I suppose his followers - who knows what they would do...like a rock and a hard place I guess...
I have no answers..
