Each Trump lie is a brush stroke, painting his allies deeper into the corner. For Thom Tillis and Dan Forest, there's no escape.

Over the past four years, these two men have chosen to become Trump Republicans. Instead of standing for the people of North Carolina they've stood with the asshole in the White House. Instead of condemning Trump's dishonesty, they've cheered. And now they're trapped.

This election is turning out to be a distinctly moral contest. It's truth versus lies, decency versus ugliness. It's paying taxes versus freeloading.

I sense the tide shifting in the past few days. Regular people are waking up, disgusted by Trump's behavior in the debate -- and by his tax crimes, especially mortgage fraud. It looks to me like Trump is going down, and that he's pulling Tillis and Forest down with him.

You can help make that happen. Talk to friends and family. Be a proud Democrat.
