Nov 6

deal with any of the messes they have created?

It's always the Democrats who have to clean it up.

What I fear is that they will leave such a scorched
earth that cleaning up will be practically impossible.

We are in some very serious trouble right now, and
it's going to be so bad that we may never recover
from it.

Well, that's pretty pessimistic, but that's how I see
it right now.
