After witnessing the disgusting behavior at the McCain funeral (where more time was spent dissing the President than Eulogizing the man in the coffin) and the Circus at this morning’s SCOTUS hearings one can’t help but wonder if “the Swamp” and their cohorts in the media have any clue how this is playing out in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. America?
