Good ‘Letter to the Editor’, today, against Mike Coffman(R)

Despite Coffman’s sometimes independent path from the White House, Congress is not addressing a critical need for our country: controlling the worst and basest instincts of the White House. The swamp is now filled with alligators in the image of Trump and they are predictably acting to help themselves.

Examples abound: denigrating climate change facts, loosening pollution controls for the worst polluting industry, awarding tax breaks to the 1 percent while meting out pennies to the rest, snarling at allies while cozying up to enemies, refusing to solve our immigration issues, continuous pimping of Trump properties. The list is seemingly endless. It is clear a Republican controlled House will not even attempt to rein any of this in; only a Democratic controlled House will slow the president.
