The Republican party knows that it can't win without us and the Trump supporters and the Evangelicals these days. You really have to start paying attention to what you write about us and our so called tendencies compared to the tendencies that we can see and directly associate with you and the Democratic side.

There's more than a grain of truth in this.  Bill Clinton singlehandedly destroyed the bond between the working class and the Democratic Party.  The people who suffered then haven't forgotten.  On the other hand, it's getting more and more obvious that the Trump Train was and remains a massive confidence game, and that will have implications in the future.  Bernie Sanders already has the code to reverse this faux pas, and someone both younger and equally charismatic will emerge -- of that I'm certain. When and who are the only unknowns.

Well, I figure if we come out of this with a rock solid Republican Senate and a rock solid Republican House then it's just a matter of time before the party of the Hamlets and Macbeth's implode. I hope you're prepared for violence and a very rough 4T as the American Right begins to pull the rug out from under the feet of the Washington elite and opts to remain idle as Rome burns. I don't think its going to matter how young and charismatic a Marxist is at this point or down the road either.

Today, the GOP is the problem. Its been the problem for a long time.  The Dems are a problem too, but a smaller one.  The GOP has been in bed with big business since the day it was formed. Big business doesn't need an advocate.  Everyone else does -- especially lower paid employees everywhere.  I know you feel that the GOP represents you, but putting yourself in the same class with the known problem will be a net negative in the future -- one you might not escape.

Expect a higher minimum wage, major tax increases and tighter regulation.  All are overdue.
