Here’s a hopeful bit of something to cling to on a Monday this week.

Republican Candidates this Year Fall Flat

from the Washington Post: A number of Republicans running for governor or senator in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, including several who hitched their wagon to Trump’s political movement, are behind in polls by double digits, a remarkable turnabout in swing states that were key to the president’s 2016 victory.

At least for now it looks as if in some places the Trump GOP brand may be squashed at the polls. So don’t forget to VOTE, it’s easy in Vermont.
