Al Franken has stated that many republicans he speaks to off the record are scared shitless what Trump is doing to their party and country.A question for Trump voters/supporters: How comfortable are you with the risks of his presidency?
I'll flesh this out a bit:
It has long been the nature of politics that the pendulum swings - if this party fouls it up, we'll give the other party a chance. And, at least in recent history, the pendulum has swung pretty hard in the opposite direction.
Let's agree that the two parties are as divided as we have seen. And let's consider the possibility that Trump & Co screw the pooch, big time. That's not a prediction, I'm horrible at those, just a thought exercise.
Trump has taken our political environment so far off the rails - and I believe that was the point, yes? - that the snap-back that would result from his administration's failure would be pretty freaking powerful. The GOP brand would be TORCHED for a LONG time, and we would head Left, BIG time.
In other words, this thing really is all or nothing. Are you okay with that?

Al's a very honest guy too something deplorables can't relate to.
