Are Trump supporters morons or just frustrated beyond patience?
What has the Republican party accomplished?
Promises - cut taxes and economic growth will cover the debt.
Reality - Middle class is getting nowhere, debt is rising, and the same promises are being made.
Promise - We'll make Obama a one term president.
Reality - Obama is reelected
Promise - vote for us to eliminate Obamacare and lower health care costs.
Reality - Obamacare still here after 6 yrs, Republicans have no real plan, health care costs are still rising
House had over 40 votes to cancel/defund/whatever Obamacare. After the first one can't get past Senate or President, what did they think the next 40 would do?
Promise - the free market will solve everything.
Reality - jobs moved overseas for lower wages and profits moved overseas to avoid taxes. Those with investments profit. Pharmaceutical companies game the patent system to avoid going generic and jack up costs of existing drugs.
Promise - Now the Republicans control the House and the Senate. We'll get things done.
Reality - Least productive Congress in decades, maybe ever. GOP runs House but some consider Boehner the problem. Get rid of Boehner & put in Ryan and the GOP is still fighting over the budget.
Isn't insanity doing the same thing over & over but expecting a different result? So if the GOP is not working in the eyes of the Republican voter, why vote for the ones currently involved in the mess?
If Republicans want to change things, they can't just sit it out. They won't vote for Hillary/Sanders/any Democrat for a number of reasons. So they vote for a radical change in the hopes that it won't be any worse.
I think the Trump supporters are hoping like Ben Carson is.
"There are two different Donald Trumps," Carson said at the billionaire's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. "There's the one you see on the stage and there's the one who is very cerebral, sits there and considers things very carefully...."
The big question is which Trump shows up in the White House when the Congress doesn't do his bidding, a terrorist strikes the US, or he gets a big protest rally.
