    Yes, the RP and DP are very corrupt and united in their opposition to Trump. The leadership of both parties favor open borders.

    Trump is what the 3rd party independents say they want but never get

    Power in washington that is not controlled by the establishment

    Then when he gives it to them they stand around in stunned bewilderment

    Very few Republicans really oppose mass migration. The RP/DP donor class would clearly prefer open borders.
    Of course, they are all very afraid of the anti-establishment bipartisan mass movement that elected Trump.

    Real independents have become very supportive of Trump. Trump's opposition comes primarily from the political establishment, its minions and the MSM. Ordinary Americans across the spectrum are very supportive.

    "Trump outperformed among all these groups, with 97 percent of Republicans, 72 percent of independents and 43 percent of Democrats saying they approve. By contrast, a CBS poll released earlier this month found that only 33 percent of independents and 7 percent of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing in office."

    So long as Trump stands against our corrupt ruling political class he cannot lose his support or an election.

    The RP establishment hates Trump far more than the DP establishment.

    “Those on the losing side of a revolution always confront a choice: Will they seek to restore the old order as if nothing had happened? Or will they undertake the harder, more painful work of examining how their own deposed rule contributed to provoking the revolution in the first place, and evolve as a result?

    So far, the most prominent and outspoken Never Trump Republican pundits seem inclined to take the first and easier road. That is unfortunate.”

    But note that 73% of Independents approved of Trump by 1/31/19. Bad news for DP candidates in 2020.

    Always add at least 5 to 10 points to Trump approval numbers to adjust for polling bias and the documented "polling blind spot". :)

    Indies do fight for what they believe in. Now that is sometimes with the right, sometimes with the left. It's the same with me, depending on the issue at times I back the GOP, other times the Democrats. I'm not a mind dumbed down robot which follows the leader just because he is the leader even if I disagree with him.

    republican has become a religion of corruption and if they blindly follow the religion I'm going to blanket them as a republican.
    The followers don't care about anything they say is their platform, smaller government has actually meant larger government for 40 years, stopping criminals means going after smaller criminals and letting the real criminals go if there's big money involved or they have an R anywhere near their name, the top family values republicans were all adulterers on their 3rd and 4th wives all of which were previously mistresses, Illegal immigration, Its all a game of point the finger wile people like trump steal our money through thing like the prison industry, the wall etc.

    The republican voters need to stop siding with criminals against America weather those voters be independent democrat whatever.

    I take it you're against stopping illegal immigration if it means going after the criminals that hire them. That's the only way to stop it.

    I suppose that means no politician in Washington cares one iota what anyone in Georgia thinks as we don't register by party. There are no registered Democrats, no registered Republicans. I suppose that makes every Georgian an outcast. Which is fine with me being we don't have to follow the dictates of any party or grovel for any party's approval. That we are free to make up our own minds what we think on the issues instead of being ordered to be for or against what ever the party dictates.

    I feel better already. Let the insurgency begin.

    Over 40 RP pols had to retire before the last election because their support from Republican voters was so low that they had no hope of being reelected. Corker and Flake were down to the single digits.

    Most Democrats are only beginning to realize how corrupt their leaders are. But they are catching on fast.

    “Getting Rich has become the great bipartisan ideal: “No Democrats and Republicans in Washington anymore, only millionaires”, goes the maxim. The ultimate Green party. You still hear the term “public service” thrown around, but often with irony and full knowledge that “self-service” is now the real insider play.” Mark Leibovich, This Town, Penguin Books, 2013, p. 9.

    None that require registration. You are whom you say you are. Very simple.

    "No more jobs for you" is siding with them? please explain.

    We don't do anything with them but send them back to the beginning of the game and give them another dice roll. This way they send themselves back at no cost to me, my family, community etc. the jobs go to Americans and there is now a huge surplus of money to stop terrorists because we no longer need 99% of the detention centers and all the logistics involved.

    Seems like that's more than enough.

    I hope this snowball continues to grow because all the fear and hate tactics that originate with the republicans as a distraction spills over onto every other party.

    Nonsense, Republicans are generally passive sissies compared to Democrats and progressive rads and you know it.
    Steve Scalise and Rand Paul got more press but DP hate is over the edge now and not hard to find.

    "During the incident, Fazeli allegedly pulled out a switchblade knife and attempted to stab Peters. The knife malfunctioned and the candidate became involved in a physical struggle with Fazeli, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Ray Kelly.

    The suspect then fled the scene, but was detained a short time later by deputies and was found in possession of a switchblade knife, Kelly said.

    Fazeli was arrested for felony assault, criminal threats, brandishing a weapon and possession of a switchblade knife and booked into Santa Rita Jail."

    Are you implying Trump is going to solve this? He's part of the problem, not the solution.

    I have seen little evidence that anyone can "solve this". Nevertheless, the corrupt entrenched bipartisan political class is in open opposition to Trump.

    Pick a side.

    Me ? I'm quoting the leader of you trumpettes.

    Good to see that you finally admit that Dirty Donnie lied, and lied, and lied again about the wall that more than half the country doesn't want.

    What else had DD lied about ?

    I hear ya, all law breakers must be dealt with immediately which is why I am hoping they turn us into a police state with non-stop surveillance so that if any of us breaks any law we are immediately tracked down and put in detention camps. Only weak minded people cannot see the benefits from putting everyone who breaks any law behind bars. Lets start with you, how fast were you going on the highway yesterday?
