    Riiiiiiiight. Every time a republican defects on objection to insanity and crime, the right declares they were never "real republicans" in the first place, EVEN if they had just praised them the week before!!

    Keep it up and soon you will be the only "real republican" left.

    Why am I the only one that has to substantiate assertions with verifiable facts? You sure don't.

    No, remnants remain. Tom Cotton comes to mind. Lindsey Graham though the wind usually determines where he’s at during any particular moment. They’re still lurking around but definitely they were more prominent in the Reagan and Bush years.

    Even assuming that were true, that means you are just like everyone else i.e. your assertions have equal value(or non-value).

    Sure, but the ideology is dead. It probably started dying before Bush left office.

    LOL The moneyed elite professional politicos of the oligarchy (RINO's/DINO's) slowly destroyed the midlle- and working-class wealth in the country over the past 30 years and kept the poor impoverished. They are the war hawks who have destroyed governments to feed the industrial military war machine's profits.

    The Lincoln Project is nothing more than an unmasking that the 2-party system is an illusion. There is only one major establishment party. There is nothing courageous about succeeding at dividing people to think there is a difference while the establishment wins the Monopoly game.

    You haven't figured out why they hate Trump yet? It's the same reason Bernie Sanders wasn't allowed to win the DNC nomination. Outsiders are not part of their grand plan.

    You are congratulating our elite overlords and wishing them well.

    Does anyone really think that trump the media whore will fade away?
    Unless he winds up in prison for his tax fraud, he will be milking the rubes for years to come, hawking his sweatshop tat and his rancid demagoguery for as much as the market will bear.

    Do you think Obama retired from politics, or is playing and will play the role of political influencer and "community organizer" for the rest of his life?

    How? Prove the system forces people to stay in poverty. I've known many who needed assistance along the way and didn't rely on it for a liftetime much less generations.

    How is getting reelected to congress Abandoning the country?
    Republicans want the power as much as the Dems. Don't try to tell me any different.

    You think obama poured more gas on race issues than tRUMP? trump's sole purpose in office this past year is to push divisiveness and pit American against American.

    Why sectors were pushed to the gov't?

    I think you're making it up or been ill informed.

    Gov't didn't take over healthcare industry.
    We still have to get insurance thru pvt insurance companies.
    We still have to go to private clinics, hospitals, and doctors.

    His political power will fade. His groupies will remain, but they'll be barking at the moon while everyone else passes them by

    That is correct. Obamacare was not a national healthcare program. It was a tax on the citizens which subsidized and bailed out the corporate health insurers. Forced payments for health insurance under threat of penalty is not the same as healthcare.

    The system didn't consciously force or want people into poverty; it was just the blindly and stupidly unforeseen results. The number in poverty has risen ever since LBJ's $15 trillion war on poverty began in the 60s, culminating in the largest growth in the number in poverty during Obama's watch.

    WTF are you talking about? Regulation is not the same as "owning".

    Just because the left wingers refuse to find out what Trump's policy issues and goals are does not mean they don't exist. In fact, prescription drug prices will be dropping significantly in January, thanks to Trump, even if Biden wins and takes credit for the lower-priced prescriptions program which is already a done deal.

    He's presented NO PLAN!

    Okay. Only pay attention to what your side of the aisle gives you permission to believe. Pretty easy to let someone else tell you who has better policies and you don't even have to check to see if they're lying to you or telling you the truth.

    Go ahead and provide a link that details Trump's alternative to the ACA. Go ahead, I'll wait.

    Oh, you didn't listen to Trump's plan. That's okay, just believe what your people tell you and don't find out anything on your own. Makes you sound smart!

    LOL....You are the one believing Trump. He has not bothered to write one damn thing down that would propose an alternative, yet here you are accusing others of blindly following. smh

    You might actually benefit from this video since you have no clue how laws are made in the US.
