I am not endorsing this as true. I want this to be confirmed and vetted by you the members of this forum community. If this is true, this will lay all doubts about Trump's devotion to the Republican Party to rest. I must stress that I am not vouching for the validity of the image below. I have my doubts.
I understand he has been on either side of each issue that normally distinguishes the L/D from C/R. But anyway, if you are going to represent the ENTIRE nation, you better the heck understand the interests and beliefs on both sides. Both should be included.
This sidetaking to try to rack up points for one side or another, causes the equal and opposite reaction. So each team ends up pushing candidates and agenda to 'cancel each other out.'
You end up with a massive pile of defense and offense players all blocking each other, one for one, and getting nowhere on the field.
What would distinguish Trump and Sanders as looking to implement solutions is to be able to form DIVERSE teams around them, where they deliberately work with people from different angles, talents and focus. That's what I'd like to see come from these candidates -- how can we all work together so we represent ALL the ideas and interests that make up the public spectrum so that goes into making public policy that works for everyone inclusively. Instead of "competing to shut each other out" why aren't we working to include all people who the govt is SUPPOSED to represent.
Given the distinct states that all make up the union, the same way should be working to INCLUDE all states, not try to compete with the Red or Blue states to outnumber, dominate and shut out the others, why can't we work toward including all parties.
When do we get to the part of the learning curve where we accept and learn to work with our different religious and political beliefs. Instead of freaking out and fighting over that. Are we getting closer?
