by the terrible ugly bill. This rather than more cuts to the safety net can be argued is REAL fiscal responsibility.

Argue that Trump is greatly increasing the deficit with his illegal ( by both US and international law) war.

By his ridiculous sidelining of real diplomacy and his use of illegal attacks, starting small with the boats in the Caribbean to Venezuela and now Iran Trump is squandering our power in the world.
