Majorities in House and Senate. Finally have a President willing to lay it on the line and fight and get stuff done.

Won’t stop Obamacare.

Won’t fund border wall.

Paul Ryan doesn’t have the leadership ability to get results. No one respects or fears him.

Why would I be motivated to vote for them?

I get your frustration, but the alternative is much worse.

Because there is NO alternative. NONE! Don't kid yourself in thinking there is. Unless you plan on living in the People's Republic of America sooner than you think.

They are all talk. Trump actually does what he says he's gonna do and they don't know to react. Republicans are mostly losers. Democrats get stuff done, even in the minority.

Because in a two party system, if you are a consistent republican voter or just lean R, simply not voting let alone switching your vote is a vote for the Democrats. Very rare in American politics where it is voting for someone or something you believe in, its more about voting for the lesser of two evils. One group so happens to align with the Stalin/Mao brand of "evil", so for me it makes the decision pretty simple.

The problem, as always, is that Republican policies are a minority view of the American public. Republican politicians understand this, and are more concerned about the next election than the demands of the fringe of their party.

I’m not sure a majority of Americans want government controlled healthcare and open borders.

If I was in Ryan's district I wouldn't have voted for him. The worst fire is friendly fire.

A majority of Americans approve of the ACA and a large majority were against any Republican attempt to repeal it.

Americans support Democratic positions on immigration (DREAM Act, etc) and are opposed to Republican nativist policies.

Oops for you!

As I always do...

Vote for conservatives in the primaries.
Vote against Democrats in the general.

Keep repeating every election. We didn't get here overnight.

don’t understand finances. Many do not believe they should have to be personably accountable and responsible for themselves and families. They want things for free and they do not want to have to work for it.

Dems used reconciliation.

Why the Rs didn't do that for the wall confirms they didn't want it.

Only Republicans need 60 votes in the Senate for Legislation. Dems can do most of what they want with 50+VP.

That's just a fact. Like playing Bama in football, they have the rules folks and officials in their corner.

She knows she's lying. She simply doesn't care, and is of the belief that if you repeat a lie enough, people will think it's the truth.

The alternative is so bad, that we have to vote against the dims, and the repubs are the only option for now.
Need more politicians like Trump who is not a RINO.
