Thursday

and just go back to hating in private and not voting. The magic of what Trump did to come into power was not to get "regular" GOP voters to the polls it was to get the apathetic voters of any persuasion to the polls to vote for him and his cronies. If the apathetic go back to being apathetic then they are doomed. This is why they are in such a rush they know Trump is deteriorating and without him they have nobody to do what he does.
