Clara, regardless of what you believe I am or not really has no value and I will let you in on a well kept secret. Mr Trump is no Republican and what he intends to do is not lock step with the Republican Party.

This time I voted to get results, right or wrong only time will tell. In the meantime can I borrow your crystal ball?

1. Conservatives know what is best for gay people by saying that they can't legally marry or adopt children.
2. Claim to be well informed even though they get their news/talking points from FOX and/or Breitbart.com
3.Think that Hollywood actors and actresses should shut up on their political views but fawn over people like Hannity and Limbaugh.
4.Drives a beat up pick up with their "Real Men Love Jesus" bumper sticker.
5.Believes in the rights of everyone except for gays, Muslims and atheists.
6.Thinks that judges "legislate from the bench" when they make a ruling they disagree with.
7.Believes that people who are poor are always to blame for their situation.
8.Believes Climate Change is a hoax/conspiracy despite overwhelming scientific evidence.
9.Thinks people need an ID to vote but cry about reasonable laws that try to keep dangerous weapons out the hands of dangerous people.

Or three, if you can't come up with five. No fantasy please, be prepared to prove what you state.

Even the Reagan democrat is long gone. The way I see it is the liberal took over the democrats and now the progressive is pushing out the liberal. When it comes to voting all three vote party line.

Same goes for the other side. Having said this things will get very messy as division grows deeper.
