Wow dude, you sound like you are 16-17 years old. Do I have that right?

"Trump is the most successful and most popular Republican in History."

Thats funny - the guy who lost the popular vote for president twice? Who got 3 million fewer votes that Hillary Clinton, of all people? Who is the first and only president in the history of polling to never reach 50% approval in the weekly Gallup poll?

I know this is decades before you were born, but did you ever hear of Ronald Reagan? Became president by beating an incumbent by nine points, then reelected by winning 49 states?

Maybe I take another guess - are you 13 years old?

But hey, don't let me dissuade you. To the extent that you help purify the Republican party - i.e. cede the center of the political spectrum to the Democrats, you will actually be doing a service to this country.

btw - the phrase is "familiarity breeds contempt" which is the opposite point than what you meant.

Trump was a big government phony - ballooning the deficit to the stratosphere and loading up debt and hyping up Congressional pork that no American citizen should be paying. Supporting Trump is not conservatism or Republicanism.
