I would be willing to bet a paycheck that local Republicans see nothing wrong with the vile, disgusting, racist video that Donald Trump posted night before last.
They wholeheartedly endorse it.
They agree with its message.
That is where our country is as a nation, and headed for the trash heap of history.
Trump has taken our once great country, and in a grain of sands time, absolutely ruined it, ruined our standing in the world, put us in a place where everyone hates us and what we stand for.
What do we stand for? What do YOU stand for?
If you are a Calaveras Country Republican you stand for Trump.
Enjoy this country in the short time ahead you have to, because Miller, Vought, and Trumps “manipulators” are taking us right down the toilet. Actually they will be taking you, me, everyday Americans down the toilet. They will be just fine. You see…………..that’s the plan.
So What!
They don’t just manipulate Trump, they manipulate his masses also.
So What!
