Republicans are only looking out for the top 1% and no one else.
Me, I would vote 3rd party although I did hold my nose and voted for Hillary but that was only because I could not stand Trump.
Democrats are too. Look at how much money they're racking in. Politicians only care about 2 things. Getting elected, then getting re-elected. That's all. Democrats run on this fake "principle" because they know that voters that pay no income tax can vote for tax increases on citizens who already pay taxes. 1% pay more than half of all the revenue the government receives. At the end of the day, the government wants to leach off of the private sector to benefit themselves. That's why they're for hiking the minimum wage. More revenue for their pockets...
Nope. You make the mistake of assuming your premise has any merit. It doesn't. Neither candidate would be who they are and support the platform of the other party.
The premise has plenty of merit because it is directed at those who deride someone else for their choice based on him being a crass individual, not the platform on which he was elected. You now have a crass individual on your ticket do you vote for him?
Yup. A party is a just a "party". If that makes any sort of sense. There's conservative Democrats still in Congress, such as Joe Donnelly, Joe Manchin, Doug Jones (sort of), etc. Not all members of a specific party share the same values. Parties just eliminate the critical thinking aspect of voting. Individual ideologies are more vital in understand their policies rather than judge the party they're in.

I will say that I don’t think someone like Trump would have won the democratic primary.

Fair enough, but who knows what could happen? Bernie almost won it and that is an indication of disillusionment in the party. The fact that Trump won the Repub one is an indication of the same.
People are often asked why or derided for their vote for Trump because he is such a crass communicator and all around bully. I will agree with that. But would you abandon your deepest held beliefs about the role of government and vote for someone who is the antithesis of that role?
Hillary is now the Republican nominee and will follow the platform of her party as laid out in 2016.
Trump is the Democratic nominee and will follow the platform of his party as laid out in 2016.
Who do you vote for? They still have the same personality traits and demeanor they always have.
I voted. I'll give you two guesses to figure out which one and the first guess don't count.
Won't work. A felon can't be elected.
You can take that either way.
