People need to step back and look at all problems our country has due to Republican policies.
But those policies only got made into laws due to the conservative Democrats pushing the GOP written bills through Congress, and/or being signed willingly by a Democratic President.
Think Bill C. and the vast number of items from the 80's GOP wish list he promoted.
Having voted since 1976 I have come to realize that no matter how badly the base of the GOP wants something they prefer to have a conservative Democrat take the heat by never passing their own draconian bills, they will wait for a (conservative) Democrat to be President.
If people REALLY dont want GOP policies enacted they should vote for ANYONE but Hillary.
