One thing I don't like about Republicans

When they win with essentially a 50/50 split (I.e Desantis, Rick Scott and possibly the two Georgia Senators)....they govern and act like they are in ruby red states.

to me the overwhelming trait needed to be a "conservative" is the ability to look down on others.....yup

Reagan's rhetoric was pretty uncompromising, but he actually worked with democrats a lot and cut many deals. Poppy was a career insider so of course he cut deals.

Shrub had the f*cking nerve to talk about a "mandate" after the supremos stole the White House for him. Mostly they governed with contempt for democrats.

Donnie just amped it up a lot.
