The only reason I see for her doing this is to jockey for some type of spot. It's very disappointing. I know some Trump voters that are now disillusioned and was hoping she would come up in the future as a Republican candidate that would disconnect from Trump. With this, she just 100% latched onto his Presidency. Link to comment

Instead, a wolf in sheep clothing as it pertains to those of us who want to remove the trump stain from the GOP. Link to comment

With Michael Bloomberg entering the Dem primary as a former Republican politician, I wonder if the path forward will be that the GOP will flounder/fade away causing the Dem party to split into two parties to replace the old two party system.

I would love to see "at least" 4 parties with weighted voting. Trump Party: Trump, Gaetz, Graham, etc Traditional GOP: Kasich, Jeb Bush, Rubio, etc Traditional Dem: Biden, Bloomberg, Buttigieg etc Liberal: Bernie, Warren, AOC etc. The "Trump" party would never hold statewide office or the Presidency again. 4 Link to comment

I'd love for there to be weighted or rank-choice voting period. Break the stupidity of the two party system. 1 Link to comment

Break the stupidity of the two party system. I think it would solve a lot of issues besides breaking the power of the parties and all the games 'honest' politicians (yes oxymoron I know) have to play just to get nominated. I wonder if there is any move nationwide to make it happen? Probably need a constitutional amendment. Link to comment

Trump, who only hires the best- so we've been told, can't retain anyone (best or otherwise). So now we are on 2nd, 3rd, 4th tier people running some of these departments. The executive branch is in chaos. That seems to be gross incompetence at the top which should be impeachable but I don't think it qualifies. 1 Link to comment

I assume the Trumpers think this is great because big gov’m’t’s evil and he’s draining the swamp. 1 Link to comment
