The GOP has certainly became a one-issue party under President Trump with his Make America Great Again agenda.

Making America Great Again with tax cuts, healthy food packages instead of cake, strong military, biggest infrastructure program since the New Deal.

Democrats are also a one issue party these days. They used to have an economic agenda and urban agenda even though I didn't agree with their plans, at least they had a multi-issue agenda.

For 2018, it seems like the single-issue with Democrats is going to illegal immigration. What is odd that the voter bloc they are trying to appeal to has very low voter participation rates compared to the MAGA voting bloc.

When Michele wanted to make students eat healthy meals, you ridiculed her. But you're ok with Trump doing it Trump has the lowest ratings ever of any president. If he wants to build this wall of his along with his infrastructure plan our taxes will have to be raised to pay for it. How else is it going to be paid for.

Trump is secretly a umpa lumpa in exile who got kicked out of the chocolate factory for eating all the chocolate. All that candy caused him to grow to a full sized adult, except for his hands for some reason.

He could always sell another 20% of USA uranium to Russia.

It was OK when Obama and Hillary did it. That's just one of many ways.

Running up the deficits? Republicans are going to run on that? Hard to imagine that being a winning message, but whatever.

Democrats are likely going to run on getting Kremlin stooge out of the WH.

The wall would pay for itself without having to pay over $100 billion a year for the social costs of illegal aliens.

The GOP is the “force fundamentalist Christianity on everyone at gunpoint” party. Democrats are the party of tolerance, reason, and diversity.

Both parties are single issue parties.

Party.

One might argue they are both a party of division also and have a good argument but I believe that is just a means to an end.
