we saw last week when the president was separating mothers prom babies that we weren t helpless, that we could call our members of congress,we could call our senators and move them to talk directly to the president and get him to do the right thing. when you look at senators flake and corker and heller and others who are in pivotal seats, in very close seats i think people being loud and making sure their voices are heard, i wouldn t give up on it just yet, don. but here s it reality, you don t have control of the senate. all right, okay, so senate republicans only need 50 votes. there was a rule change, remember? and if you look at the 2018 map there were ten democrats up for re-election in states donald trump won in 2016, five of those represent states trump carried by double digits. so they re going to feel
