Democrats now have to show they can fix things

The old axiom of “be careful what you wish for” was proven accurate in last week’s Democratic landslide.

Trump kept telling the Republicans to pretend he was on the ballot. Unfortunately for his party that is exactly what happened. The voters repudiated the president in every way, growing tired of his lies, corrupt administration, unqualified cabinet members, tariffs, needless wars, ongoing inflation, and undignified and boorish behavior.

Now it’s up to the Democrats to show that they can rein in Trump's worst behaviors over the next two years, reconcile with our allies, punish our enemies and get the country back on track.
