to put many policies into place that will turn out not to be popular, like the AHCA, tax reform, etc. and if after the fact they can say it was populist Trump, not the GOP, that is responsible that will help them in future elections. He is like an escape hatch for blame on policies that are wholly unfair and cruel.
Maybe too they want to so debase the Presidency that they will never have to face a bully pulpit democratic President again. After all rich white men to have to live under Presidents who are not GOP dyslexic puppets when Democrats are in power.

Voting will be something white property owners do for the most part.
On election day in November when on the ground Russian agents hacked into voting machines and flipped votes, they changed American history forever and so much that we wont recognize anything very soon.
Wont have a lot of time to try and recognize things, though, if you are lucky you will be working a 14 hour day at $2 an hour.

(3,847 posts)they will be voted out of office if they keep their collusion with a traitor. These guys actually think they will be given a seat at the table when the corporations take over. These idiots will be cast to the side once we lose our democracy, Wall St. won't need them any more.
Yet, they still move on with plans to drag us off the cliff.
