#1- 1 person winning a seat that already belonged to a Democrat does not mean the whole party is moving away from being moderate. I think they should move, but it's a ridiculous position to think that the party has been reformed. Look at what the leadership is saying.
#1a- the Republican party is moving. The Republican party used to be about putting America first and putting security first. Trump's policies are benefiting him & the super wealthy. How does a tax cut help working class Americans? The money did not trickle down. Corporations are not more profitable, paying less in taxes, and guess what? They aren't sharing those profits with workers. Who does that help? The Republican Party used to be about protection, keeping America safe. Trump going on Twitter and bashing/threatening world leaders is not keeping anyone safe. Trump refusing to call Putin out is not keeping America safe. Trump is a weak leader and no Republican lawmaker wants to call him out.
#1b- Is socialist supposed to be a bad label/insult? There are plenty of socialist countries that are doing things right. We're not perfect and shouldn't pretend to be. What's wrong with taking care of people? A platform of Medicare for All, Paid Family & Sick Leave, Clean Campaign Finance, Immigration Reform, Free College, etc., is not radical. It helps more people than a platform of just giving a tax break to wealthy folks. And how do we pay for it??? Let's bring back higher taxes on profitable corporations, let's spend less on military. There are ways to accomplish some of this list.
#2- you're probably right. but let's not deny who he is. Trump is a con artist. He's a racist. He's sexist. He colluded with Russia. And the more and more that we hear about these things, the more his base sticks to him. We've lost 1/3 of the country and it's a sad reality that these things do not matter. They would have mattered to any other President. We know Don Jr. got a call from a private number before the Russia meeting at Trump Tower, we know he got a call right after. How often do you answer a private call? Never. He knew who it was (Trump!) and now the defense from Rudy is that the people being accused have said they didn't do it. That's not a defense. Your defense can't be the two people accused of wrongdoing said they didn't do it so they're good.
#3 wake up. I get it that white people had issues with electing their first female president but Trump is an absolute joke. he's an embarrassment to the rest of the world and the rest of the world knows this. we'll feel the effects of his justices and his policies for years to come.
