White RINOS

I've decided to join the White RINO party. A good friend of mine said it pretty well...
Democrats fight for a better world, Republicans fight for a better gated community.

Republicans say big government doesn't work. Then they get elected to office and prove it.
Bruce Rauner certainly proved that true here in Illinois when we went without a state budget for over 2 years. Trump allowed our federal government to be shut down without a budget for 35 days, and that was one of his less notorious acts.

If Donald Trump succeeds in destroying the Republican party then I'd consider him worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. At a minimum, we need to get rid of the traitorous Republican senators who suck up to Trump and put party before America on a daily basis. The Republican party has left America, and left Americans behind.

Once we destroy the Republican party we will need to replace them with a better alternative. Let's start with Blue Dog Democrats.

Congress does not have to be a dysfunctional, stagnant legislative body, garnering less respect than cockroaches. Compromise is not a dirty word nor even a sign of weakness. Indeed, it's critical to a functioning, democratic government. I don't get everything I want, you don't get everything you want, "but if you try sometimes you find, you get what you need." (Gee, that almost sounds poetic.) This is what our elected officials are paid to do.

The problem is, they don't even try. Under the Obama administration, the Republicans were the party of "no". It didn't matter what the Democrats put forward, their response was always no. It was amazing the Affordable Care Act, affecting millions of people, was able to pass under that relentless onslaught. The ACA continues to this day to be under threat from Republicans. Those countries with robust public health care and safety net programs have had much more success with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects than we have. Coincidence?
