I'll NEVER be a Limbaugh-Hannity Republican, they make me throw up in my mouth... But, I'm losing all faith in the Democrats too.
Whats with the absolute pandering for votes they've been doing?
California wants healthcare for Illegals?!?! I work 60 hours/week and can barely afford healthcare. Now they want my tax dollars to pay for an illegal to get it for free! I just had a tooth pulled because a root canal was too expensive but wait... we have to subsidize people who don't even live, work or pay taxes here (legally)???
Complete pandering for the Mexican vote.
News flash. Mexican Americans living and working in California probably feel the same way I do.
New York wants to give illegals drivers licenses! Really? Like some illegal alien is going to sign up at the registry. Never going to happen, just pandering for the Hispanic vote in NY.

Why don't they do what their original base voters want them to do and support the middle class.
We don't want old school socialism but we need social safety nets so one trip to the MD doesn't mean you cannot pay rent that month.

Giving away tax dollars for votes is as bad as the Reps giving tax breaks for votes!!!

They don’t understand nor care. They figure there’s more illegals and dimwit Dems who can’t comprehend what’s happening, that we who do see what’s happening do not matter. They lost me several years ago. Plus I used to think that Limbaugh and Hannity didn’t know what they were talking about, but now I know they are correct about so many issues.

LOL you just lost the OP. Hes likely a moderate thinking about going on your side more and you just basically said Limbaugh and Hannity are intelligent and correct on so many issues.

They are destroying themselves with political correctness and their preference for illegals. What they do not get is that the situation you just described, has forced millions of us former Democrats into the Republican party. If they really cared about their call to help working-class and middle-class Americans, they would return to a common-sense economic message and give up on their unreasonable illegal push.

The sad truth is that people are so brainwashed that we see party loyalty - no matter what. I think this recent crop of crap politicians will push people from being party loyal to either sitting this one out or voting against the Dems.

They're going to be shocked again when they lose in 2020, because they're just too stupid to figure out that pandering to groups at the expense of the majority - alienates the majority.

Leaving a political party doesn't mean that one has to become a member of the other. There is a thing called Independent.

Illegals effect our lives in so many ways, commute times, school class size, wait times in the ER, cost of medical care, the list goes on....

I don’t know your voting history, but all elections are about choices.

The election will be a referendum on Donald Trump.

If you’re one of the 42% that approve of his policies, you’ll support him.

If you’re one of the 50+% that are opposed to Trump, you’ll oppose him.

The election will be decided in about a half-dozen states. The rest can be colored in on the map now.

Can we just have a government that at least follows the laws on the books?

The whole immigration nonsense is ridiculous.

No one has a problem with legal immigration. But there should be a problem with illegal immigration.

If you want to be here - be all here, put yourself into the system legally, become an American, and have at it.

OP, for everyone of you lost two more will be gained from convicted felons, noncitizen immigrants (who are being allowed to vote now in many jurisdictions no matter their status) and 16 year olds.
