The democratic party has some of the same issues to me. Not talking about their politics vs. republican politics, moreso, regarding how the party is somewhat split between "moderate" democrats and the more liberal wing of the party, i.e. AOC, etc. I don't really agree with either of them, so I don't know how that party will look in 4 or 8 years, but should be just as interesting to see how it unfolds.

If Trump didn't spend 98% of his time fighting people and posting on Twitter, he might've got some more things done.

I like Rick Santorum, that's who I wanted in 2016. By the time the CA primaries got here in 2016, he wasn't even on the ballot out here.

But I liked the idea of Trump not being a career politician. I don't want old cronies like Biden or Clinton becoming president. Or Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, etc.

I hope Trump doesn't dissuade conservatives from voting for someone outside of the box again down the road. Don't want to pretend like the status quo has been so great for us.

Definitely, 100% agree. Dems have their own party split incoming, the socialist Dems vs. moderate Dems like Pelosi. So far moderation is winning, but give us another 10-20 years of income inequality and inequal treatment of minorities and we will see continued growth by the far left.

No easy answers here but maybe this is the start of a new 3-4 party system, radical conservatives, moderates, and radical dems.

The more parties the better imo. We know the 2 party system is broken. Let's try something different.

NEW YORK (AP) — The co-founder of a fundraising group linked to Steve Bannon that promised to help Donald Trump construct a wall along the southern U.S. border was sentenced to four years and three months in prison on Wednesday for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from donors.

Brian Kolfage, a decorated Air Force veteran who lost both of his legs and an arm in the Iraq War, previously pleaded guilty for his role in siphoning donations from the We Build the Wall campaign.

A co-defendant, financier Andrew Badolato, was also sentenced to three years for aiding the effort. He had also pleaded guilty. A third man involved in siphoning funds from the wall project, Colorado businessman Tim Shea, won't be sentenced until June.

Kolfage and Badolato were also ordered to pay $25 million in restitution to the victims.
