I'm 68 and retired. When i was younger the Republican party had principles. Once upon a time in my youth the Republican party even stood and fought for civil rights. Now the Republican party says ****s were good people and supports killer cops.. Once upon a time the Republican party stood for the rights of women. Now it stands for denying Women an abortion even in cases of incest and rape and Down Syndrome. Once upon a time the Republican party under Nixon established the EPA that cleaned up our air and water. Today's Republican party stands with billionairs that bribe Republicans to ditch clean air and water rules. Once upon a time under Reagan the Republican party passed child credits paid to people when they filed their taxes. Those credits that can be as much as $6,000 per child have kept many parents from going broke. Today's republican party slashes food stamps for poor Alabama and Tennessee family's. Today's republican party has slashed 1 million poor kids from getting a meal at school. Once upon a time under Eisenhower the top tax rate on the rich was 90%..That money paid for good government and helped create a strong middle class. Today's republican party slashes the taxes on the rich and made the working man pay 90 billion more in taxes last year. Under Eisenhower Social Security was made stronger. Today's republican party wants to end the payroll tax that funds SS and Medicare. Today's republican party wants to de fund SS and Medicare. So what happed to the Republican party? When did they go wrong? It looks like it was not under Eisenhower or Nixon or Reagan. So it seems that they went wrong in the last 12 years. They lost their way big time when they choose a reality show host to be their nominee a man that was never qualified to be the President a man that was totally corrupt with the lowest iq of any President ever. Now that man (Trump) can not even lose right and is hollering voting fraud and dead voters and have not proven even 1 case of either. Yes Republicans you went way off course and until you change your ways you probably will never win another national election. And thats a shame because America needs a healthy two party system.

True, hopefully though once tRump is out of the way they will come back to their senses.

There are so many lies in this post, it is mind boggling.... It is hard to understand how anyone could be so misinformed.
Again kindly point out how I am so uniformed. You keep saying that but you never step up to the bat.
