Like I said, you have no desire to win.
I really, really do want to win, but let's define that. Winning entails a strong military (pointed outwards), a secure border, My full rack of Constitutional Rights--not just little scraps of a few of them, a balanced budget, Much smaller Federal government, not just more efficient, but restrained to its constitutional mandates without twisting words like taffy to get more power, restoring power to the States, and to the people.
That's just a start, but I want it all, and failure is not an option if you want my vote.
The question is where am I going to find that? Neither Party has provided that list to anyone.
Sorry, but your GOP is just too Liberal and too far to the Left for me.
And don't bother throwing that false dichotomy bullshit about how that makes me one of the Communists, because I'm not one of the tepid leftists instead of one of the howling moonbat crazy ones. There is another option, whether you can see past the Party banners or not.
It got tedious a long time ago hearing y'all PArty folks tell those of us who aren't, how we were on the "other side".
I reckon what you don't understand it is that while y'all talk a bit more to the right than the other folks, actions speak louder than words. That little bit of talk to the right of the Democrats is all well and good, but there was no lasting action to speak of, and that little bit to the right in no wise covers the rest of the spectrum far more conservative than the actions we saw.
Now, I get you don't want to admit that, not even to yourself. I also get that there are people taking up their lances to go tilt at the windmills of the GOP, and some may even make progress there. If so, Kudos, they have my respect and applause. But for the moment, like so many other moments, the GOP is an impotent stud, if not gelded by the good ol' boy smoky back room criminality, shenanigans, and rule bending that is the SOP in DC and how, once elected, those folks get so stinking rich on a mere (low) six figure a year job. Neither
@roamer_1 nor I support that sort of stuff, no matter who is doing it, and if anyone is doing it, well, I don't consider that "winning".
I voted for Trump this last time, because he didn't write the spending bills, he tried to do some good things for the average stiff (even without the assistance of the GOP), and it turns out he was lied to far more by far more people--some of whom should be hanged for their actions (treason), but wouldn't be, no matter which of the current two biggest Parties is in charge.
As for those weasels in DC, None of the Democrats, and damned few Republicans will see a dime of my money they didn't get at the threat of gunpoint. I will support only those I find worthy, and no others will get my vote.
That is a short list and getting shorter by the day.
