  2. Every demorat that leaves not to return is a win for the people of the USA. Every RINO that leaves not to return is a win for the people of the USA. Every politician who puts the Jews and Israel ahead of the United States of America that leaves not to return is a win for the people of the USA. Every politician supporting increasing the power of the state that leaves not to return is a win for the people of the USA. Now, let’s get winning!
