Re: I'm so mad all the time and I can't turn it off

Plenty worth it, but the Republicans in congress won't proceed on it. Not until he's done half his term at least. If he gets impeached now then Tea Party Republican darling Pence has to count this as his first term, but if its even a day over the half term mark then he gets a full half term from Trump's and gets to run twice on his own for a potential ten years of Pence. Which he will get, because Democrats refuse to stop running away from the heartlands and will not return to the middle states despite that being the only thing which will turn the Popular Vote victory into an Electoral College victory.

HTH.

AYRT

Well, speaking for myself, I was born and raised in the heartland and don't look to be leaving anytime soon, so I'll be glad to try and do my part to help flip things from red to blue where possible (including voting in the 2018 midterms). But yeah, it would definitely be nice to get as much support elsewhere as possible, and encourage the other Democrats/liberals who do live here to continue to be more active, too.

Didn't realize that about Pence, though. Eesh. That's disturbing. I don't know if I'm as confident that he'd get that kind of chance (Indiana's a pretty freaking red state and yet from what I've heard from people who live there they HATE him), but with politics being what it is nowadays, who knows.

Honestly, though, even if the Democrats did everything right from here on out-spending more time in the middle of the country, putting up candidates that really excite the party and get them out in droves, things like that-would it still be enough to combat the fake news and misinformation that runs rampant nowadays? Even the most centrist of positions is considered "far left" to some people out there nowadays, and there are some people that refuse to accept facts even when they're staring them right in the face. So I'm curious what the best way for the Democrats to combat that would be.

It's premature to say Pence will get elected in his own right once, let alone twice, regardless of what the Democrats will or won't do. We have no idea what might happen between now and his hypothetical candidacy, and plenty of things could happen to make him extremely unpopular. His association with Trump is not helping his brand, for starters.
