I mean, he’s going after everybody from Newsweek, which has been in business since 1961 to random bloggers. He’s out to get everybody who disagrees with him. The man is a lunatic.

A man at a town hall said he was “scared” of Barack Obama, “a man who cavorts with terrorists.” McCain replied, “He’s a decent person and someone that you do not have to be scared about as president of the United States.” Later on McCain replied to a woman who called Obama an “Arab” that she didn’t trust, “No, ma’am he’s a decent family man, citizen, whom I just happen to have fundamental disagreements with.” That level of decency no longer exists in our politics. </p> <p>Donald Trump has abused the office of president and turned it into a circus. Now he’s gone so far as to retweet a man in New Mexico, a county commissioner, believe it or not, who said, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat,” taking the national discourse down a few more levels, still. </p> <div class="dk-editor-embed center-block" data-twitter-content='&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Thank you Cowboys.

A Marist College survey from late February had the Republican up by 17 percentage points, as 54 percent of registered voters said they'd back him for another term. Just 37 percent of respondents said they'd vote for Harrison.</span></p> <p><span>But the latest surveys and election forecasts paint a different picture. A poll from late March showed Graham's lead had dwindled to 4 points. Forty-seven percent of likely voters said they'd back Graham at the ballot box compared with 43 percent who would vote for Harrison.</span></p> <p>The poll, conducted by Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies, also found Graham's approval rating to be underwater as 45 percent of voters approve of the job the Republican incumbent is doing. The poll surveyed over 800 likely voters and has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.</p> <p>Plus, two recent analyses from Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball found that the odds are no longer all in Graham's favor. The non-partisan election forecasters shifted their rating of the race from "solid" Republican to "likely" Republican.</p> </blockquote> <p>This terrific attack ad certainly isn’t going to help matters.

He might have lived many more years if America had been on top of COVID-19 sooner. Her testimony is interspersed with pictures of Donald Trump playing president.
