The GOP is no longer Grand nor Old.

It is difficult to tell the difference between the parties. What bothers me the most is that the members are career politicians and that taints them. Gone is the philosopher king and it is special interests all the way and the rank and file be damned. They are in a rush to offer free stuff for votes just like the Dems.

This is what made Trump exciting — he wasn't a milquetoast Romney or Bush. Yuck! Trump was boorish and sometimes a little mean but I liked that.

I feel the same way as you do about both typical politicians of both parties, and Trump. I decided in 2014 that I would not vote for a typical politician anymore, though at that point they were the only ones running for president. I initially supported Ted Cruz because he was the most outside of the Insiders. However when Trump entered the race I changed my mind, and I am glad and having done so.

However, I learned from the complete ineffectiveness of Jimmy Carter how a president must have some support in Congress if he is to accomplish anything of note. Trump needs to have the Republican Party behind him, because clearly the Democrats never will be. This requires that the same people who elected Trump, must get rid of the Republicans who don’t support him, and install people who are going to look out for our interests (r at least who credibly say if they will be looking at for our interests).
