The edge is Republicans in general and their platform in general are less deceptive and less irrational than Democrats.
The general public is moving away from politics and especially irrational and deceptive politics.
The tide is turning; the pendulum is swinging the other direction. Reality asserts as sure as honesty outlives the lie. It always has and always will. In politics, democrats are but the first party in the pendulum's path to be defeated in their irrationality and dishonesty.

Battle of Two Worlds
Value Creators versus Value DestroyersThe first thing civilization must have is business, science and art.

Government and its bureaucracy cannot survive without business and science. In general, business, science and the individual and family is the host and government and bureaucracy are parasites.
Keep valid government services that protect individual rights and private property rights while upholding the sanctity of private contracts -- military defense, FBI, CIA, police and courts.

Wake up! They're parasites. We're their host. We don't need them. They need us.
You're the host. You don't need them -- they need you.
It's your life. Make them meet your terms and become a value creator or let them chose to perish.
