@wdlindsy Not all states have a referendum system like Ohio, but it would not surprise me if such referendums would easily pass in, at a minimum 35 states (representing probably 80% of the entire US population). Might even pass in 45 states.

This is why the GOP uses race/crime as their main issues. Majorities across the country oppose GOP policies on healthcare, schools, economic development and pretty much everything else. The GOP can not afford to let voters vote on issues.

@jennzycos@toot.lgbt 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂🤣 @RickiTarr

Democrats don't have a problem with our President.

the media does because he's not Trump.
