You said conservative.  I work for a conservative think tank and everyone is voting for Biden.  They HATE Trump.  [b]He goes against everything they believe in.[/b][/quote]

This is actually interesting.  I am a Trump supporter, but have been a Republican for many years.  I don't like listening to Trump bloviate, but I absolutely think that we needed a disruptor in Washington.  The elites of Washington from both parties supported free trade, globalization and unfettered immigration.  Though Republican voters were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the massive cultural shift happening as a result of these policies, Republican leaders in Congress and Republican presidential candidates refused to make any change and represent their views in DC.  They were also too weak to provide any pushback to Democratic social initiatives.  After the Tea Party and Republican capture of Congress, voters expected some type of change and there was none.  So finally, Republicans took a look at the potential candidates for 2016 and said, nope, not another one.  One of the points of electing Trump was to put so-called conservatives in DC think tanks on notice.

Lots of people are predicting that Trump will kill the Republican Party.  Actually, he has shown the party how to save itself by creating[b] a coalition of people from all races who value work, entrepreneurship, expressions of faith, etc[/b].  The only question is whether the rest of the Republicans will be smart enough to follow his lead.  If you are comfortable voting for Biden, I'd love to know exactly what kind of conservative that you are.  From now on, there is no creating a party with both the Lincoln Project Republicans and strong Trump supporters.  If he loses, many Trump voters will be totally disillusioned by the sabotage of many in the Republican Party and it won't rebound.

I'm just so baffled by this.  In what fantasy world or alternate dimension do you live in where the Trump administration has created this? Even *attempted* to create this?!  "Expressions of faith" like holding a Bible upside-down and banning travel from Muslim countries?  "Entrepreneurship" like giving most of the PPP loans to crony large businesses?  Valuing "people of all races" while dogwhistling to white supremacist organizations at every opportunity?!  I'm a small-c [fiscal] conservative who wants the national debt paid down, bureaucracy slashed wherever possible, and strong national security from both economic and defense standpoints but you can't tell me with a straight face that the Trump-era Republican party offers any of those things.[/quote]

I guess that I think you are the one in a fantasy world... because I look at the lowest poverty rate ever, lowest unemployment among Blacks and Hispanics, opportunity zones, etc.  Expressions of faith... March for Life, religious liberty EOs, treatment of Israel, etc.  Despite your protestations that you are a conservative, you must watch MSNBC if you think Trump has implemented a "Muslim Ban."  The racist crap is just that... the figment of liberal imaginations.  People of all colors who share those values are embraced.   Honestly, the restrictions on immigration most benefits Blacks and Hispanics with lower levels of education, who saw real wages rising under Trump.  So, my point was that the rest of the Republican Party needs to wake up.[/quote]

Ah yes low unemployment for black people, I'm pretty sure they enjoy those low-paying low-skilled service sector jobs.

also sweetie, the unemployment rate for minorities was already turning in low direction, he's just continuing to trend from under Obama. Oh and those opportunity zones, notice how nobody talks about them not even pro-Trump media? They didn't work. 😂[/quote]

Anyone who thinks that Obama was responsible for the Trump economy is clearly not an economist.[/quote]

"The Trump Economy" -- we are on the brink of ruin because of Trump. He is a loser who can't handle a crisis. He's ruined us. Of course Obama is not responsible for that.[/quote]
