Why don't the Democrats advertise to Georgia voters that Trump's insistence on recounts came at the expense of the Georgia taxpayers? Might help them.
Certainly a hopeful note. But there is truth in it.
America is coming together, not apart. Moms and vets are standing with BLM leaders. Sports figures are kneeling to honor Kaepernick’s plea for racial justice. Old and young voters alike are rejecting Trump. America, I believe in you. #TogetherWeRise

Mr. President or not—I don’t care one bit what your name is. I will not allow troops in Chicago, and I will do everything in my power to stop you.
