I always have to laugh when Trump is labled as a radical or extremist.
His political thoughts are nothing out of the oridinary for American politics.
The only thing he does different is speak in a bombastic blunt manner which is different than most polticians.
He is no different than the majority of Republicans in ideology. At least economically.
I agree Trump has no new ideas. I didn't mean to suggest he's that radical, only that he's effectively preyed upon a radical element of conservatism that has fostered for the past couple decades through outrage talk radio and such, making any compromise or nuanced solution out to be a sign of weakness.
Trump's preying upon simple-mindedness, which is where radicalism of any kind resides. Trump was supportive of Democrats as the party better for the economy just 10 years ago.
"THE WORLD MUST BE MADE SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" -
Contrary to Winston Churchill’s epigram : “'Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others,” Democracy is inferior to the republican form of government.
The republican form, guaranteed in Art. 4, Sec. 4, USCON, and whose source is the Declaration of Independence, establishes that people [Americans] are endowed by their Creator with rights, that government was instituted to secure. Only those who consent, are subject to being ruled / governed. This is contradictory to the democratic form, in which the majority overrides the minority.
In reality, Americans are being used to provide mercenaries and support to the conquest of the planet on behalf of collectivists and usurers, whose various factions contend for supremacy.
President Woodrow Wilson’s quote contradicted America’s foundation of law.
But who bothers to read law?
Congress doesn't even read the laws it enacts !
With the rapid extinction of the Republican Party, do you think that having a one-party state will be better? If the Democratic Party is the only political party, then maybe we can actually get things done in this country instead of having two parties that fight with each other and refuse to work together.
Talk about an alternate reality!
Why do you slugs keep starting these stupid one party threads? If there's only one party, then we will no longer be a democratic republic.
sheesh!

No--we probably need a third party. The GOP has an ultra extremist branch and I don't see how they'll get through another general election with one party--the moderate branch and the extremists are so far apart. The Dems also have an extremist group, but it does not seem to create the same issues for the Dems that the Tea Party creates for the GOP.

Nothing radical about Trump... everyone knows we have a huge problem with illegal immigration and it has not been dealt with. It has added to our debt and deficit year after year after year.
The people who support the democrats will wonder what happened to their food stamps when the Chinese decide not to loan more money to America... the credit will no longer be there.. then reality will wake up America as the illegals have taken services, helped create huge debt to the tax payer and the democrats sat on their duffs allowing and actually defending there position. Americans will suffer . Democrats that support this ideology don't look at cause and effect.. the elite rich democrats don't give a hoot about American poor.

With the rapid extinction of the Republican Party [...]
Hold on - a party that has a 10 seat majority in the Senate, a 59 seat majority in the House, complete control of 24 state governments, enough strength in an additional 19 to split control, and came within 5 points of victory in the last Presidential election, is rapidly going extinct?
I grant that there is a worrying trend of diminished identification among the voters (only 1 in 4 are Republicans compared to 1 in 3 who are Democrats), but at least in the short term, two-party competition is going in the GOP's favor. This is primarily due to the decline among Democrats, so neither political party is anywhere near structurally healthy at the present time. Incidentally this makes a double extinction event and being replaced by new parties much more likely than a one-party Democratic state.
The Democratic party currently only has overall control of 7 states, and of these only 3 (California, Delaware, and Hawaii) are non-competitive enough at all levels to be called one-party states, so it seems very unlikely that's the way the country as a whole is going.

You would be hard-pressed to find any country in any era in history where a lack of partisan competition has proven beneficial. Even having two parties significantly stunts democracy compared to the international norm (which is more than two, sometimes a lot more).
It already is. It's a 1 party ELITIST state. The Left vs Right B$ is a distraction to keep Americans busy fighting with each other while the ELITIST laugh their way to the bank.
Usually, most of the fighting and angry stuff comes from the Right. The left are happily living their own life minding their own business. Worry about their own family, and enjoying life.
While the Right just make it their passion to harass and complain about the left all day and all night.
Just look at this site and every other site such as youtube, godlikeproduciton. Etc etc. Angry white people with nothing else better to do than to spew hate and racism all day. It's like, they're not enjoying life if they're not complaining and hating.

You were doing fine with your first sentence then you spun out!
The only difference between the crap being shoveled at you by both parties is the hide the original animal donating the stuff came wrapped in.
No, a Country is best served by multiple parties. Even in Countries like the UK that have two dominant parties there are still other smaller parties out there that get a say in things.
