This is a race between a Democrat and an independent who used the Republican primary system to get on the national ballot.
Trump won the majority of primary voting Republicans and a huge majority of Repu8blican delegates at the National Convention.
He and his people are the Republican Party.
Perhaps you should find a party more to your liking.
I voted for Cruz in the primary but never will again for any post. Well, at least Trump ran on Republican issues, I didn’t see it among little Bush, Kasich or Rubio. They seemed to favor tax cuts for their country club friends, an issue which I could care less about.
So what about 4 years ago? Was Romney a Republican?
What about 8 years ago? Do you think McCain represented the TRUE GOP values?
Even George W. Bush pushed the Islam is the “Religion of Peace” idiocy and the Illegal Amnesty travesty so many of us have warned about and been dead-set against.
And when the Republicans controlled the House, Senate and Presidency at the same time, did they push through conservative values and balance the budget? Pass the Balanced Budget Amendment? Codify Pro-Life into national law?
No, they were just more pigs at the trough gobbling up the bribes and graft.
I know a lot of people don’t like Donald Trump, and don’t trust him to be a “Republican” whatever that means, however, you cannot say that the Party Leadership has really been representing the rank-and-file interest for a long time now.
Please don't explain Republican purity to me, because Trump is far more conservative than the 16 other losers' asses he kicked.
