“The REPUBLICAN PARTY chose to IGNORE US and take us for granted.”
Resolving an issue in politics leads to a drop in support and lower voter turnout. I recently read that the big win on gay marriage will cause a huge drop in Democratic turnout.
Don’t look for Obamacare’s repeal or a solution to the border crisis. That would be bad for politicians who need those issues to secure office.

I can see that angle, but it does go both ways. In the case of Open Borders, the Republican we elected to secure the border were ACTIVELY SCHEMING for Amnesty and would have gotten it on Obama’s desk, had Cantor not been defeated last year. That is not exactly a great way to get votes either.
But when securing the border is the CENTERPIECE of your campaign, as with Trump, then things are different - as your personal word is involved. Most candidates actually try to keep their word on their top campaign issues, as they know they will lose BADLY if they double-back - as in “Read my Lips”.
