Thanks for that. The fact that this is what the system and the “suck it up and vote for your party” logic has led to is absolute proof intelligent people should quit doing it.

Right but Trump’s policies greatly lessen the chipping away of the GOP voter base.
1)1M new legal permanent residents every year
2)Hillary has promised half a million refugees
3) Pathway to citizenship for illegals.
I also believe with 1/5 of all men aged 25-64 not working, Trump’s plan to lessen immigration will improve the job prospects of current americans which will lead to a bump in fertility.
No, they aren’t. Trump is actually eroding the current base to the verge of fracturing the party while simultaneously driving away the people they need to incorporate into the base for viability in the future.
And again, the demographics are going to change regardless. Nor is not liking the probably voting of an immigrant a particularly moral or convincing argument to stop immigration. I guess I should be pro abortion too, since it kills so many future democrat voters.
Trump just won the primary by being the leading vote getter in Republican primary history. The only fracturing going on is among the traitorous GOP leaders who refuse to represent the will of their constituents.
My arguments against immigration are separate from what I outlined in the post. I’ve argued my reasons for several weeks over many posts…
He won it while getting a minority of votes, largely from non-regestered republicans in open primaries and is fracturing the party by being a narcissistic incompetent moron.
That number is buoyed heavily by first-time voters, independents, and former Democrats who were swept up in Trump mania. We will see how many of those voters actually show up on election day. Furthermore, the GOP members who didn’t vote for Trump seem to be jumping ship, not getting on board. Whereas the Dems (for the most part) have rallied behind Hillary. And as far as the traitorous GOP leaders, far be it from educated political minds to disagree with the ignorant masses when they’ve made a terrible mistake.
Still a minority. Losing far more actual republicans than he pulled in as first time or independents or dems.
And the dems have rallied around Hilary, because she represents that party. “Traitors” on the republican side haven’t rallied around trump because, thank God, Trump doesn’t represent the republican party.
It doesn’t matter because they will be pinned by the label from now on by the superior messaging and marketing of the Dems. Guilt by association isn’t legally binding, but it is marketable.
The fact that despite an overwhelming volume of accusations from idiocy and incompetence to despotism and totalitarianism, none of the people supporting him have even attempted to refute the accusations is absolute proof that the problem isn’t with the republican traitors, it’s the nominee.
That theory has been circulating here for a couple weeks now. Never thought I would actually read something from Michael Moore and agree… Although I’m not sure about him dropping out
