The Republican party cannot govern the US

Look at the mess the Republicans have created-they are not capable of running a country, just ruining a country
My guess they have supported Trump mainly for their financial pockets
The financial community has drained almost the last drop of middleclass blood with about 50% of the population at $30,000 annually as income

Those of you who think you will be safe better realize there is never enough for the rich corporate/individual when it comes to wealth-in other words - you are next for the fleecing

check the statics about wealth in the US-better yet check the tax code which coddles the monied more generously than the working stiff

Don't take what the Republican says is fact-investigate your self-you will be shocked at what you don't know

The Republican party is only interested in ruling...and they have convinced their supporters that they are better off under a benevolent tyrant and his council...then they would be under a Democratic Republic!!!

And it's working....

"Now they have to actually govern with these people." They can't. Old Republicans might have been wrong, but they could run the country- just not the way we would have liked. Think Bob Dole, Jack Kemp, Nelson Rockefeller, guys like that. Teabaggers, by contrast, can only destroy and obstruct. They are institutional arsonists. They cannot govern at all.

Letting one party rule everything and own the media so they can blame the other guy for their own failures.
