Democrats Need To Reach Out To Republicans

I have very, very low expectations for the party who inflicted a birther POTUS upon the country -- and somehow the last week is a new low. https://t.co/iyJS9U66TN

"It was a coincidence, I tells ya! Pure coincidence!" And the fact the Georgia runoffs the two candidates are involved in will determine who runs the Senate for the next two years had NOTHING to do with it, either!

Suddenly Pompeo's "joke" is a whole lot less funny. Even just denying reality to this extent is dangerous.

The loyalty test is now "do you think Trump had the election stolen from him?" As long as Trump maintains his hold on the Republican Party there will be no place in it for people who believe he lost legitimately. https://t.co/3yvNBCGYGx
