The Kochs are about to dump half a billion into keeping the houses red. And the left’s marketers are betting it all on “resistance” and #metoo. You might be right. Incumbents always lose in midterms. But I’m sensing this might be closer than you like.

Oh, I know, how dare I. Heresy! Right. Well, enjoy your silo.
Look, I turned the lying fucker off about 10 minutes in, but followed some of the commentary on twitter and saw a couple clips from when he got to immigration. That was dark, dark stuff.
