2. How you feel is perfectly warranted and appropriate.

And although the following is a lot of ‘ifs,’ this is still something to consider:

If a half dozen or so Senate Republicans reject their Party’s reckless, irresponsible agenda, it’s possible Social Security, Medicare, and some environmental regulatory policies could be saved.

A majority of Americans don’t want these programs interfered with or ended – enough Senate Republicans feeling the political head and not wanting to touch the third rail of politics should be sufficient to kill any ill-advised ‘reform’ of Social Security or Medicare.

And if there are no more Supreme Court vacancies before 2020, and if a Democrat is elected president in 2020, what damage caused by Trump and his fellow idiot Republicans would be minimal.
