The Republican Party’s dance with President Trump has long been marked by fits and starts. And for much of that troubled relationship, it has been hard to grasp why so many conservatives would sell their political souls to a man who wallows in racist stereotypes, questions federal judges’ legitimacy, flogs the free press, undermines Madison’s constitutional norms, declares war on America’s intelligence community, and attacks Justice Department and FBI leaders he appointed for refusing to kill special counsel Robert S.

Add to that the mocking of political correctness and identity politics, and you have a platform sure to inspire the activists who drive today’s Republican Party.

Democrat shills like these two, just by the hateful look on their repugnant faces, are repulsive to the majority of American voters.
Dueling idiots!
>>Yes. That’s why decent people voted for President Trump.<<
True that. And to make sure the ‘Rats don’t take over the House and Senate in November, we need to do anything and everything we can to get Republican voters to the polls. Rest assured, the ‘Rats will be engaging in every method of election fraud known to mankind in their demented efforts to get President Trump out of office.
