Small business owners across this country will disagree with you, 100%. Trump has eliminated hundreds of unnecessary and overbearing business regulations, mandates on reporting and other nonsense that has made it almost impossible to start a successful business in the USA. Hire someone, and you also have to hire an accountant just to handle the byzantine tax laws that go with it. Obamacare mandates, gone. They, and their employees are going to keep supporting Trump from Coast to Coast.

The GOP of the past, the one of globalism, amnesty for illegals, and constant warfare is gone and not coming back. That is the reality of what the GOP had become prior to Trump and now, it's been torn kicking and screaming of course out of power. Sure some states old onto the old guard like the hapless Mitt Romney, but that is to be expected. It doesn't change overnight.

These are the times that breed and reward extremists.

The voters prefer fluff over substance because they like to feel good and in most cases it is all their feeble mind can handle. You are right about Kasich he would bring substance and a very good fiscal conservative record, no body wants to hear that.
