@johnrich If you want to understand socialism, you could look at North Korea. Having come from China, I know very well that the Democratic Party in the United States is by no means socialist.
If the Republican Party doesn’t ditch "Trump the Asset" (a sarcastic nickname implying he’s actually a liability), they’re going to lose so badly they won’t even have their underwear left.
If the GOP wants any chance in the future, it will have to kick Donald Trump out of the party.
He has absolutely destroyed it and the current state of the GOP is warmongering, corrupt, corporate focused, entity that does not at all reflect the conservative values of its voters. It’s s lie.
But I highly doubt they will do it. Many elected Republicans only won because of his endorsement.
And those in his administration are going to defend him and stay loyal in hopes for pardons.
They will probably blame everyone and everything else and continue to worship Trump.
And if that remains their course, the Republican party won’t be able to win nationally for decades.

@BarackObama@BlueGeorgia Tonight’s "blue tsunami" demonstrates a profound desire for change among the people; they hope the Democratic Party will seize this opportunity and deliver results that justify the trust placed in them.
Some of what I’m hearing from Congressional GOP sources right now:
“This is f**ked.” - Senate GOP source
“Bloodbath across the board”. - House GOP source
"Nothing is going our way. We stabilized in Florida but the margins were SO close. That's the only good news". - Second Senate GOP source.
Pessimism within the GOP building tonight as results come in.

Lifelong Democrat Michael Douglas has urged Americans to defend the Constitution after predicting that Donald Trump’s supporters face a “massacre” in the midterm elections.
John Bolton:
Trump has used the party for his own purposes, but philosophically, I don't think he's a Republican.
I think the whole Trump tariff policy violates decades of basic Republican principles.
I think Trump used the Republican Party as a vehicle. It was useful to him.
He took advantage of it. He took advantage of many members of Congress, many of the big donors to the party.
