The goal is to avoid the pitfalls of Trump’s first years in office, when the Republican president’s team was ill-prepared, his Cabinet nominees had trouble winning Senate confirmation and policies were met with resistance.

Why is anyone voting Republican anymore? I seriously don't get it. This is the party that literally wants to defund education and sell all of your rights to corporate greed.

And now they want to destroy democracy. And realistically have wanted to for decades.

It just seems like it would be an impossible sell, but here we are.

Because they're dumb and are just getting riled up. They have no idea what they're actually are voting for. Republican is definitely not the party of small government, so if you ask what they actually support you'll just get confusing stares. That, or they just want to kill trans people.

Because they don't care about anything but worshipping Dear Leader and owning the libs.

Thing is, Trump didn't actually have a vision. He didn't think he was going to win, and he was using the whole election as a way to enrich himself. There is no Trump vision, he plans nothing.

Someone should just take out the middle man's and count every vote equally.
