for Trump to go after Colbert, Kimmel and everyone else he is trying to browbeat using the corpse of CHarlie Kirk.

Trump can't simultaneously go after 250 Beltway Dems and thousands of elected Dems nationwide.

Dems -- stop fighting people like AOC and Jasmine and get out front WITH THEM. Take the megaphone away from Trump.
