What are the chances that the trump republican party will win elections ?

If it is hurting the election chances of republican candidates should we promote it and let em die as we change America for the better ?
Just a thought....🤷?♂️

Sorry Professor Corey no more Soap Box (updated thread)


Edited to change the thread title and add


Thanks to the Admin to listening


(and I wanted to check about whether or not you really could edit after 24 hours.)



"Soap Box" has a connotation of somebody spewing their opinion to a crowd where "Town Square" has the connotation of a place for informed discussion.

"Soap Box" has a connotation of a mix of participants but a hefty share of incoherency (with a sprinkle of drunkenness) where "Town Square" has a connotation of serious considered opinions.

If quoted by people/media outside of DU it will sound different

"In an article by () at SOAPBOX forum at DU () pointed out . . ."

"In an article by () at the TOWNSQUARE forum at DU () pointed out . . ."

"Soap Box" conjures up the image of Professor Irwin Corey



"Town Square" conjures up the image of Ben Franklin
