Dems will win

Republicans are so scared that Hillary will be our next president they are trying to hang a scandal around her neck in hopes that many Democrats won’t vote for her. It’s not going to work, GOP. Even if she goes away, Bernie Sanders is waiting backstage and his poll numbers get higher each day.

Dems shouldn’t worry about bloviating gas bag Donald Trump, whose rocket will eventually run out of fuel. His deflated ego will make him look so foolish, if he doesn’t look foolish enough now.

If you are not already convinced that Republican candidates are living in a parallel universe, listen to Mike Huckabee say that the Iran deal “opens the oven doors for the Israelis.” Then Ted Cruz chimes in with “Obama becomes the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism.”

Saddest of all, these are the people who want to make government so small, it can be drowned in the bathtub.
