Just spitballing from the Great White North, but I think what you guys could use is a few centre-left governments in a row, fixing the damage the Reptards have done and easing the country to the left rather than dragging it. And I say this as a Commie Soshulist Anglophone Quebecois.

I saw it on the twitter... and I don't have the link.. maybe I'll find it later..

But, there's a possibility (allegedly) that Cohen paid off or tried to pay off a witness to Mueller's grand jury.

The Rockefeller Republicans were all chased out of the party by the Bible Thumpers.

The GOP used to have people like George Romney, William Scranton, Charles Percy, Mark Hatfield, Margaret Chase Smith and George Aiken.Senator Aiken of Vermont declared that the best solution to the Vietnam War was to declare victory and pull out.

Today's Republican party is so unhinged that even Richard Nixon would not find a place in it.

I don’t entirely think you’re wrong. I just fear the shrill “purity test” elements fucking things up as badly or worse than this in response.

And for the record, while it has its own problems, I miss Quebec BADLY and still kick myself for not marrying my university boyfriend at times (I’m a McGill alum).

I believe it was Fred and Mary that made Mr. Trump a failure, and I don't find either one funny.

I find them incredibly sad.

It wouldn't matter how moderate she was, they'd still think that her moderate policies were dragging the country far left.

Evidence: Obama. A moderate who the Republicans have been labeling a far leftists in spite of 8 years of evidence to the contrary.

Me neither, but at least she considers herself left of center and tries to move in a progressive direction.

I guess pragmatism has its benefits, but we need a firebrand.
