Imagine still blaming Trump for the wall not being built when the entire deep state was against him and stopped it.

Never make excuses just get it done

1 man vs thousands of the nastiest corrupt, well connected and powerful people in the country.

He did really well just to still be alive.

He built most of the wall that was his goal, arguably all of it. Some last bits, they stole funding from it after he left office.

The people voted for a double fence in 2006 and they never got it. Someone should take quite a pummeling for that overthrowing of democracy.

Jury is out on if the lesson is learned yet imho. Dem leadership is quite dense and out of touch as this seems to indicate. The loyalists in my circles already seem to be doubling down in division and other nonsense that I think costs them votes.

Bernie Sanders gave a nice scalding response to the party leadership about this election but he's on the fringes anyway at this point, plus he's an old white man you know.

I'm not sure the current Democratic party will manage a leadership coup to make it relevant again. This election they already lost some major backers and doners. They'll need their own equivalent of a Trump movement rallying around a new charismatic leader I think. Good opportunity for a third party to supplant them.

Rothschilds are sitting back laughing about how they can easily indirectly control politicians thru the politicians need of money.
