Republicans For 2016 - Page 8

Wisconsin's reliably red Waukesha County is a snapshot of GOP struggles with Trump

Donald Trump's struggle to excite and unify his party's voters is damaging his chances in November and fueling GOP fears that a drop in Republican turnout could hurt candidates up and down the ballot. Few places illustrate that struggle better than Waukesha County, Wisdom., one of the most reliably "Red" counties in America. In the kickoff to USA TODAY Network's new series, "The Deciders: 8 Counties that Count in 2016," we examine whether voters in this county known for its Republican solidarity will rally around Trump by Election Day Ref.

NOTE: Donald Trump:

Republicans

When did the GOP stop practicing Republicanism and begin this reactionary conservatism platform? Sure, conservatism has some good points, but they are all borrowed from Republicanism with the added inclusion of certain hideous elements such as the anti-feminism agenda. Also, the party only has itself to blame for implosion. The downward spiral started long ago and has recently culminated in the ostracization of Ron Paul and the co-opted and re-branded Tea Party.

All parties change over time. Should there have been no super delegates, the Democratic nominee would have been a Socialist. However, his party worked wonders to make sure that didn't happen and thus since we found out… we have a new DNC Chairperson. They seem to call their swinging progressivism. As they morph with time, some things are kept and other discarded.

Since I do not feel as though you appreciate much of conservatism, I am interested in what points you find good? I am also interested in the anti-feminism agenda that you speak of, since I have not seen it on the platform.

Ron Paul is and has really always been more closely aligned with Libertarian styles of government. While the Republican Party does try to cast a Large Tent as has been said, he definitely doesn't embrace traditional Republicanism. The Tea Party has only itself to blame as well. The majority of people that have been elected as Tea Party Candidates, have fallen in line with the status quo once they get their cushy seats in DC.

If you look at the last 2 presidents, both doubled the debt since they took office. Both greatly expanded government. Both have kept or entered us in wars. One has a D affiliation next to his name and the other had a are affiliation. However, the results are basically the same.

If you ask me, if you are high up in the Republican Party and you don't like Trump, you only have yourselves to blame. You asked for control of one of the houses of congress to stop the spending… you did nothing. You asked for control of the congress, so you could stop the President. You let him do as he pleased after you got it. The people no longer trust you and they just may be sending in a wrecking ball to show you how much.

Democrats have the same problems. Promises after promises and life is getting worse for African Americans and money is being funneled to illegal aliens. Our inner cities are in horrible condition and the majority have been run by Democrats for decades.

The problem is with career politicians and the idea that government should be the one stop shopping for all your woes in life. While I am sure there are a few that do real good, there are a aweful lot of them that are more interested in keeping that job and a place in DC because it pays REALLY well. That is why I would love to see Term Limits. Do good and get rewarded by the next rung up the ladder. Sit and do nothing or poorly and you will be finding yourself another job soon. I also don't like a 2 year term. As Ron Paul said, he basically had little time to do more than run for re-election. As far as Government solutions for everything in life, there is nothing in the Constitution that dictates this as a goal of our Federal Government.

Why are we still dwelling on what the Republicans were, could be, should be, etc. Fact: Donald Trump is the face of the Republican Party, its on their back bone he is riding into debates with Hillary Clinton. While there are those among the Republicans that venomously dislike Trump they are not the majority. The Republicans have spoken… they have gone from Romney to Trump after seeing Obama get another 5 years. If Hillary gets in there then it will have an Obama style for another 5 so they probably figured let's go with Trump and wake up America. Right now we need to look at who is going to be president… Trump or Clinton the Republicans are only relevant again when its time for congress to be involved in passing bills.

Republicans

The reason we are talking about the different Republican Factions is that the current nominee is not the nominee of the leaders of the Republican National Committee. Had they been allowed to nominate their own nominee, it would not be Trump. There are deep divides within the party and it is noteworthy. The people have made a stand (Those that participated in the Republican primaries) and said that they don't like the direction of the party and nominated Donald Trump. Why the people are making this stand is that they are unhappy with all the promises that the leaders of the Republican Party have continued to make and not keep, that Tea Party winners seem to lose their way once they get to DC and that the last Republican President doubled the debt just as Obama has and there is no end or change in sight.

Trump and or Clinton are not relevant when congress goes to work… they don't have control of congress. Now, they will be very critical when one of the first things that they have to do is nominate a Supreme Court Justice to replace Scalia's seat. With the important cases coming up on the Supreme Court of the United States, it is a crucial decision that will likely have impact for decades.

Republicans For 2016

There are no republicans in the Republican party. There are conservatives, which is a reactionary movement to prevent the erosion of liberty(While eroding liberty), prevent the trampling of the constitution(While trampling the constitution), prevent uncontrolled spending(While wantonly spending), and to prevent special interests from gaining any traction(While claiming to ~be~ the special interest "Alternative media.")

That said, there are certainly democrats in the Democrat(Not Democratic) party, as surely everyone remembers we are a republic, not a democracy, and therefore cannot have a socialist, communist, or democratic party. Democrats who, in the guise of charity and humanitarianism, utilize the power of force to deprive people of human rights so that their vision of the world may be imposed. All the while, the contributions to the hungry and needy are but a scant fraction of the stolen(Yes) revenue.

Essentially, everyone is lying. The neocon progressives in the Republican party are distracting you from the neocon progressives in the Democrat party and vise versa. Meanwhile, expressing just enough variance in their rhetoric that everyone takes their words for gospel. They couldn't possibly be playing us against each other and selling us all out to a world banking cartel.... . Could they?

Donald Trump struck a defiant stance on Sunday, hinting that Republicans distancing themselves from him because of his prior lewd remarks about women would regret it.

"So many self-righteous hypocrites. Watch their poll numbers -- and elections -- go down!" he tweeted, as he and Hillary Clinton gear up for a town hall debate tonight at 9 p.m. ET on CNN.

And his top surrogate on Sunday TV news shows, Rudy Giuliani, tried to deflect concerns.

"The fact is that men at times talk like that. Not all men, but men do. He was wrong for doing it. I am not justifying it. I believe it's wrong. I know he believes it's wrong. I believe this is not the man we're talking about today," Giuliani told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." Ref. CNN.
