Democrats can't beat Trump, says America's first black billionaireBob Johnson says party has moved 'too far left' and praises president's corporate tax rate AGREED True. My party cant get its head out of its ass long enough to let billionaires like Steyer & Bloomberg buy Trumps removal w highly propagandized tv ads. Then they’re either rooting for a 78 year old socialist w a recent heart attack or a 77 year old who can’t complete a sentence Smart man, why would anyone want to beat Trump? Have the leftists get in let the globalists take over and dismantle democracy and enforce a totalitarian regime? That’s sounds better than Trump that at least can be voted out in the future.
