32. Its hard, but we need to keep this in mind

Thu Sep 28, 2017, 05:24 AM

Sep 2017

when Democrats who are now getting elected in red states need to vote the way we dont like sometimes. Ex: Joe Mansion

I get angry at stuff he says sometimes and his chumming around with Trump, but we have to remember that he may be doing what he needs to do keep that seat for the Democrats. I'll hate it when they vote some gun control measure down, but they will be there to vote the right way on some things at least. Better than having a Republican vote 100% the way McConnel or Ryan tell them to.
