THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT:
TRUMP SUPPORTERS: Like it or not, the midterms didn't go your way, in fact it was the biggest midterm defeat for the ruling party since the 1970's. Rather than getting angry and lashing out at Liberals (which is silly) here are a few things that will help your cause:
* WIDEN YOUR BASE OF SUPPORT: The GOP under Trump has become the party of the angry white man, because of this, women and minorities are leaving the GOP, and there is not enough supporters left in your base to win. You need to reach out to these people and show them how supporting Trump can help them.
* DO SOMETHING BESIDES ATTACK: I know it's fun to blame the Liberals for everything, but that's not enough to win. Getting out your message out of personal responsibility, your support for capitalism, your support for traditional family values such as traditional marriage, responsibility for raising your children, and a strong work ethic will bring swing voters back into your base of supporters.
*REALIZE THE MOOD OF THE PUBLIC CHANGES: Yes, voters are in a more Liberal mood this time around, but that's not forever, and next time around things could very well swing back your way.
*REALIZE THE WEAKNESS OF THE DEMOCRATS: Your opposition party is made up of a loose coalition of environmentalists, pro choice groups, gun control advocates, and those who want a larger role for government. They are an undisciplined group, who don't always vote as a cohesive whole. As Bill Clinton said 20+ years ago...."getting Democrats to agree on a course of action is like herding cats"
*YOUR PRESIDENT HAS MOST OF CREATED HIS OWN PROBLEMS: Fact facts...ANY President, Republican or Democrat that brings high ranking Russians into the oval office and gives away America's most sensitive intel. Fathers 5 children by 3 different women, lies about Mexico paying for a border wall, and uses more foul language than all the past Presidents combined is going to have some things to answer for. Toning down Mr. President's indiscretions would go a long way in solving your political problems.
I'm an INDEPENDENT and that's the way the ball bounces.
