I'm with you. I've thought that I could support a Republican candidate if they demonstrated the good parts i see in my Republican friends like being conscious of the deficit, competition, rule of law and justice (even against tax Dodgers and big business), results based policy, environmental sustainability, etc. These are things that a moderate could support. Isolationism, the rights identity politics, climate denial, sustainability denial, supply side obsessed, anti consumer and workers rights. I cant back that stuff and more. I think if the GOP wants a better play at the independents, they should drop as much of the latter items I listed as possible.
I think Independents who are the largest voting block in this country today will decide many of these races. I was a lifelong Republican until they made the Ass Clown the poster boy of the Republican party. I then changed my party status and followed the advise of a long time friend and former staffer of Ronald Reagan.
No shit, Hillary has qualifications? Perhaps you could elaborate.
