A robust and growing economy, good GDP growth
Low unemployment
Lower tax rates, yet higher Federal revenue
Less onerous regulations
Better Trade Deals
More Secure Borders
Less illegals stealing American resources
Less Identity Politics
Better judicial appointees
Respect for the Constitution
Upholding the Second and First Amendments
A robust and growing economy, good GDP growth - the same great economy/growth that Trump inherited from Obama and is now propped up by dangerous deregulations?
Low unemployment - see #1, and Americans are loving their stagnating pay! Should I thank Trump for that too?
Lower tax rates, yet higher Federal revenue - lower tax rate for who exactly? And why do we have a deficit of 780B if Federal revenue is 'supposedly' higher, huh?
Less onerous regulations - you mean the regulations that is supposed to prevent a repeat of 2008 Great Recession?
Better Trade Deals - really, nixing trade deals then replacing them with something similar with the Trump label is better? Playing with farmers livelihood by removing the Chinese market is better? Increasing the cost of goods for everyday Americans is better?
More Secure Borders - We all want more secure borders, but ripping babies from their parents and refusing asylum to legitimate refugees is heartless and no way to achieve that, nor is spending 25B on a wall that can be used for our infrastructure
Less illegals stealing American resources - worry more about the Americans milking our welfare programs, especially the people living in the red 'moocher' states that my donor state has to support
Less Identity Politics - really? do you even know the definition of this? Trump is doing the complete opposite
Better judicial appointees - for who? not for the majority of Americans who are LIBERAL
Respect for the Constitution - give me a break, you've typed this with a straight face? You who worships a man who believes he's ABOVE the law?
Upholding the Second and First Amendments - Trump doesn't care for the 1st amendment, he would put all journalists away if he could, nor does he care to hear anyone practicing free speech if it's against him; he only cares about the 2nd amendment because the NRA pays him to look the other way
I noticed you also didn't mention how Trump wants to protect Americans with pre-existing conditions like he likes to LIE about. Do you want to take a stab at that too?
How come nobody is talking about the stock market and all of the gains for 2018 being wiped out? Part of the problem is the tariffs and stalling earnings growth. The housing market is slowing quite a bit and I'm feeling the pinch trying to sell one of the rentals. Maybe Trump's economy isn't going so great? Add to the mix a deficit spiraling out of control and you have some uncertain times ahead. No worries, the rich will still get richer. Much richer.
Lets ask the farmers in the Midwest how they're doing under the Republican's.
Perhaps an anecdote may explain what I think the republican party has to offer citizens vs the democrat party.
I think back to how NYC, specifically manhattan, changed from when I arrived in the city under a democrat mayor to when I left the city under a republican mayor.
when I arrived in manhattan in the mid 1980s, democrat Koch was mayor, the city was a combination of the movies escape from NY and rollerball. homeless slept in the train cars or menacingly begged for money. thieves would jump on the train between stops and rob passengers in the car then jump off before the doors closed. the trains were covered in graffiti, stank from urine, feces, rotten food. walking anywhere on the street, but even worse north of 125th or in alphabet city, was asking to be robbed or physically attacked. No one who valued their safety would dare venture into central park alone day or night for fear of rape or assault. the streets were filthy with garbage and human waste. the mentally ill homeless lived everywhere on the streets. after democrat mayor Koch, another democrat, david Dinkins, was elected mayor. race relations worsened under Dinkins. Korean stores were attacked by blacks. murders and crime were at an all time high in the city. living in manhattan was dismal under democrat leadership.
after Dinkins, the citizens of NYC were fed up with democrats. republican giuliani was elected mayor and things changed drastically for the better. the streets were cleaned up. law and order was restored. the trains became safe and clean. central park once again became a respite. businesses boomed. crime decreased. manhattan became safe, clean, peaceful. People moved back to the city after fleeing to the suburbs under the democrat Koch and Dinkins administrations. republican mayor Bloomberg carried on Giuliani's policies and the city and the quality of life was very good for residents under their republican leadership.
so to answer your question, what republicans offer to me is a day to day better quality of life for citizens. I saw the transformation literally before my eyes from how a democrat runs a city compared to how a republican runs city. these same principles apply statewide and nationally, too.

We all know they have offered huge tax breaks to the wealthiest 1%, but what do they offer the poor white trash you see at Trump rallies? They offer them an outlet to blame someone. Blacks, Jews, Mexicans, etc., etc., this is what they offer.
It's like going to a professional sporting event, you go to root for your team, and shout down the opposition. But this is something entirely new, a President who has demonized anyone who disagrees with them, and the foaming and frothing mob has completely brought in. They get a sense of community with fellow Trump supporters and they have an authoritarian who makes them feel "safe", being as most of these people live in a constant state of fear of anyone who does not look and speak exactly as they do.
And, of course, they have someone else to blame for them being poor and lacking expensive medical insurance. And that is enough for your average Trump supporter.
All we need to know about what Republicans have to offer is what G.W. Bush left us during the Great Recession. 1.2 trillion dollar deficit, massive tax cuts for rich, deregulations that ruined our economy and poisoned our environment and a weaker America as a result.
GW. Was a New World Order Globalist, selling us out to the highest bidder, just like his dad, Clinton, and Obama.
Globalist v. Nationalist.
Nationalist all over the earth are trending.
Merkle just got beech slapped and Brazil just held up the middle finger to George Soros and Junkers.
Once again, employers hire and fire, not the President. Oh wait, my bad, Trump is great at the firing part. Remember Sean Spicer, Sally Yates, James Comey, Omarosa, Anthony Scaramucci, Reince Preibus, Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, Jamie Johnson, John McEntee, Rex Tillerson, David Schulkin, and Steve Goldstein? Probably not, since Trump fired all of them.

-Trump's tax cuts have exploded the federal deficit. You do know money doesn't grow on trees, don't you? A tax cut means we pay less money in, so the money is not available for us to pay our debts. It's pretty simple really.

Score 1 for Trump. Are the kids in Texas out of jail yet?

How many exactly? What specifically has Trump done to accomplish this? What legislation has Trump passed to keep the illegals out? There is no wall, you know.

LESS identity politics? That is truly laughable. You should have left that one out. Trump is the only president in history who has spent months and millions of our dollars campaigning for Republicans. He is supposed to be the President for Americans, not only for Republicans.

The president who says the media is fake and the enemy of the American people? Lol.
Just the usual stuff, plenty of arrogance, ignorance and bountiful laziness.
