I'm not sure that they do, beyond signing their legislation and riling up the liberals, of course. One of the great ironies of this election has been that there has long been this assumption that the GOP base wanted ideological purity, someone who wouldn't sell out to the DC culture, etc, but when the base seriously decided to buck their party, they go for the least pure "Republican" on the ticket, which is still hard to comprehend. I really put it down to the desire for a genuine candidate, and say what you will about Trump, filtered he is not, coupled with sticking it to the liberals in the most over the top manner possible after years of jibes and contempt. I heard it put that Trump was "the extended middle finger of the American Right hand", and I can't really disagree with that assessment.


Because he is natural, speaks his mind (what others are too afraid to say - things like Radical Muslim Terrorism), and he's not a politician. Honestly, it was to stick it to the rest of the Republican Party and let them know they are not untouchable. Actually, all the politicians. That's why Trump even let both parties have it when he gave his Inaugural speech - he's working for the people as a whole.

You know, when I supported Trump, I honestly never even thought about "getting back at the Left" because I'm not that kind of person. I was for someone (anyone) who was an outsider and who was really for saving this country. Trump was for all of the things that I think are needed right now - closing the borders and doing something about illegal immigration, addressing ISIS, lowering the national debt, getting rid of Obama Care - the others were just wishy washy politicians and most of the Repub cant be trusted anymore - the swamp has to be drained on both sides - not just the Demos. Abortion wasnt even top on my list, for gun control we just needed any Repub. I thought about the surgeon since hes an outsider, but he wasn't as outgoing - too passive.

If you were republican why didn't you support someone like Kasich he is scandal free, helped to bring back jobs, tackled debt etc. With Trump you are taking a big risk since he isn't experienced.

Hes a politician and couldn't be trusted. Hes big government. I said I didn't want any politicians. I'm also tired of this "no experience" crap. Experienced politicians have gotten this country no where. Another "lawyer"like all politicians are isnt going to help. Trump knows how to run business (which means budgets), he has worked deals, knows everything about the business side. Im ecstatic with the cabinet hes chosen. Hes even brought in more generals, because a lot if them were gotten rid of under Obama. Hes got plans to increase our nuclear weapons. AND a biggie for me- he solidified our relations with Israel.

I really dont understand what peoples problems are with him - if they are Republican.So he needs to get his feet wet. So far, hes been working everyday from the start, hes enthusiastic, smart in most areas where it counts, fast learner - if I was an employer, I'd give him a chance.

Another thing, why are you talking to me about scandals? Hillary was the worst if them all and the Left chose to look the other way. Dont even waste my time with the scandal crap.

But politicians are not all one and the same and Kasich can be said to be an exception. He cut the state's deficit in half and lowered unemployment immensely. Why do you want to support someone like Trump who had so many bankruptcies over someone like Kasich who sticks up for second amendment rights, wants border security and lowered his state's debt it makes little sense.

What's more or less their is little with Kasich that you shows he doesn't care for the American people. With Trump's theirs tonnes he took away American jobs when he manufactured in Mexico and aided big money controlled politicians like Schumer. How can you say he's a good candidate when he's done so many bad things like that compared to Kasich who has done none.

The real "left" didn't choose Hillary. The Democratic party did. Most of us despised Hillary. We wanted Sanders. I think it makes right-wing partisans look unintelligent when they lump their "enemy" into one monolithic block.

I'm pretty sure I am the lone loyal Hillary supporter here. I even backed her over Sanders.

Half my family is in NY & he choses Giuliani to czar my entire industry. "Cyber security" they call it. Internally, that buzzword's the biggest joke in engineering history. Furthermore Rudy has zero knowledge thereof. He's also pretty much as close as a Manhattan dweller can get to being KKK whilst staying out of a messy river.

You work with adherents of the hippocratic oath & support the movement that saw swastikas drawn all over Brooklyn. I have family in Jewish U there. Want a riddle? What does a paperclip mean in Norsk?

I neither acknowledge nor respect Kardashian politics. Someone fire me so I can get some real sleep.

Damnit guys. I haven't posted on here in well over a year but I wished I spent the election season on here with you intelligent folk.

My two cents

Both candidates were....Well.

However i ultimately found Trump to be the lesser of the two evils. Yes, he is bigoted, but so is Hillary 'super predator' Clinton.

On top of being bigoted, she was a warmonger that gave me nightmares.

That doesn't mean a Trump presidency does not concern me. I hope he does semi ok.

Ultimately i wish Bernie was sitting in that chair but damn

President Trump working on national debt - something he also promised. Who better to tackle a budget than a businessman? As I recall, the Obama administration didn't even have a budget.
