Oh please. The GOP hasn't been the GOP for at least 10 years more like 16. Trump is a symptom he isn't the disease.

You're in for a rude awakening in 2020. Trump won the election on 3 Midwest states with a margin of 100k votes

Meghan McCain no longer calls herself a Republican, says the GOP’s character ‘seems to be gone’

Meghan has isolated herself. With her drinking problem I doubt she has the strength to weather it long term. She isn't setting herself up for a happy or long life. She will not be missed on the national scene.

We'll see. He also won because he won Florida,Ohio,Iowa,North Carolina etc. He had 260 without those 3 states he needed 10 EV to win the election without those 3....so Nevada and New Hampshire could give him that exactly or Maine and Nevada or JUST Minnesota which he BARELY lost in 2016...

China not only steals our technology and secrets they don't let our U.S. made products in their markets but we let their products in our.....so you want Trump to ask them nicely to stop or do like they do for our products?

Both parties do it. This is why I want ranked choice voting, jungle primaries, and the outlawing of gerrymandering. I want to see the parties both largely destroyed. They represent only the craziest in this country in addition to being completely bought.

One of the big earlier bellweathers was the primary loss by Bob Inglis, ACU rating 93% in 2010.

Her and her family left the party a long long time ago to join the Progressive Globalists. She's so unimportant.

There are many brands within the Republican and Democrat parties.

There has been a long running trend for people to identify as Unaffiliated/ Independent. The numbers are now greater than Republicans or Democrats and growing.

If Reagan were in office today, he would be likely be viewed as a Moderate, leaning left on some issue and right on others.
