Think about how tough it must be to be a Republican?
They finally have the leadership they deserve. Total and complete incompetence.
The House and Senate were never ready to govern. They don't know how. They are a good opposition Party and that's about it. When it comes to actual governing, they are lost.
And look who they traded Ronald Reagan for - Trump is now the symbol of their Party. They couldn't get rid of him, even if they wanted.
I believe I would bet on the future of the Democratic Party over the future of the Trump Party. It's not going to end well.

Some have migrated to our party and have become Blue Dog Dems.
Some have stayed in their Party and have dutifully voted for whatever Leadership has commanded.
Some have hated what their Party has become.

(18,964 posts)they call government incompetent but the truth is that it is only incompetent when THEY RUN IT....
Over the years I've been in government, I've observed something else.....
in any government there is this thing called "The Treasury"....there are large sums of money in it from tax payers who paid it to provide for the services that government is supposed to provide to SOCIETY AS A WHOLE....Republicans see those vast sums of money as a "piggy-bank" ...their own personal piggy-bank to pay off their supporters and loot at their will.
I'm not saying that Democratic Office holders are scandal-free...but it's often been said that Republican office-holder scandals involve money and Democratic Office-holder scandals involve sex...mostly that's true...

(1,007 posts)Ailes, Bill O'reilly, maybe Hannity gone....Fox in #3 slot....people have had it with the half truths, misinformation, and viscous attacking of Dems.
And many Dems questioning the fundamental christian organizations for hypocrisy and ethical practices. Rubs are being attacked from all sides...which looks minimal now....but times those little inroads by many attacks and their party will be shaken up.
As Dems...I don't believe we should give up any of our stances because it will appear as we are desperate to obtain votes. We do need more votes...but if we stand our high ground...when the fallout from the Rub party occurs, many shattered are going to look for stability and strength...not a weakened party.

Not even remotely.
I keep seeing clips and interviews of Trump supporters. Most of them give him an A.
