People just aren't buying what the conservatives are trying to sell anymore. They are catching on to what the true conservative agenda entails and its not pretty. Most of the things they want to implement would hurt a lot of people; kicking people off their health insurance, cutting public schools, ending Medicare and SS, thereby throwing old people out on the streets, etc. No one wants that. Everything the conservatives stand for may look good on paper but rarely works in the real world.

If this is losing, I'll take it.

We will get the tax cuts, and I still believe that there will be a health cae deal, because there has to be. Obamacare is disinigrating in front of us. I don't believe that there will be a wall--he has already solved the problem by enforcement.
Awesome!

Trump has no influence. And its only going to get worse for him going forward after this Charlottesville fiasco.

Neither party represents the people they expect to vote for them by telling them lies.

I believe Republicans do have a much greater respect for federalism - that is, that more power should lie with the states rather than with the federal government. They're also much more serious about curtailing illegal immigration.

Republicans are more likely to support strict constructionalist judges for the Supreme Court. Democrats are more likely to support judges who believe the Constitution is a "living and breathing document" that should "evolve" with the times - which essentially means that they'll make up the laws as they see fit.

I used to be more left-leaning, but as I've learned about the way our government is intended to work, as outlined by the Founding Fathers, I've developed a much greater respect for the republican (small "r"), libertarian philosophy. Power should be decentralized and as close to the people as possible. Ideally, the President should almost be an afterthought for most Americans. It's our state and local laws that should concern us more than federal laws and officeholders.

Big govt. is the excuse for many but I know many others who vote for Republican because they are religious and they believe Republicans support their religious views more.

They even stand for small government?. lol? Cole a Republican from oklahoma made sure to save funding for pbs/npr and public radio and pbs hates the republicans, total non stop left wing bias and republicans tax money is going to help support it again!

This is the growth of government spending, notice the increase since the whole bogus "conservative revolution"

What have conservatives and republicans actually accomplished?

Dude I'll say it for the 100th time.

Bought and paid for false opposition.

Please read this quote:
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_im...gh-father.jpeg

"When the President signs this act(Federal Reserve Act of 1913), the invisible government by the money power-proven to exist through the Monetary Trust Investigation-will be legalized.The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on, depressions will be scientifically created."

Representative Lindbergh (R-MN) December 22,1913.

And their 100% on board the Kalergi-Zionist white genocide program.
