Why have Republicans been unable to deliver on the platforms they stand on, yet Trump has been able to drag them out of their timid acquiescence to the Dems, their going along to get along, just sort of slowing down the rush to socialism along with the accelerating rate of destroying the Constitution? Why is there now an extremely visible difference between the two parties, an actual meaningful choice?

Do you prefer a choice between actual differences as between a continuation of managed American decline, or an honest attempt to restore American economic power? The complicity in China's rise to world dominance, or an actual attempt to thwart and reverse it?
You're making the assumption that Floridaman has a clue about the effects of his actions.

WASHINGTON — The overall United States trade deficit shrank last year for the first time in six years as the American economy cooled, domestic oil production soared and President Trump waged an aggressive global trade war to rewrite America’s trading terms.

The trade deficit for both goods and services fell to $616.8 billion in 2019, down $10.9 billion from the previous year, according to data released by the Commerce Department on Wednesday.

Both imports and exports fell as American factory activity slowed and businesses and consumers felt the impact of tariffs imposed on China, the European Union, Canada, Mexico and other nations. Total American exports dropped $1.5 billion to roughly $2.5 trillion, while imports fell $12.5 billion to $3.1 trillion.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Just what is the operable part of ASSume?
Don't worry before Floridaman is done he will make an ass out of you, everything he touches dies.

Do you believe the president is truthful? You believe the Fake News media lied each of the 16,241 times they have said he has made a false or misleading claim?

He will remove existing condition coverage, he has no plan to keep it other than lies.

And just think how stupid this Senator feels:
As Murkowski observed: “Schiff was eloquent but he lost me when he brought in the pike story.”

Just 8 years ago Mitt Romney was the GOP Presidential candidate.

Now, his party will devour him.

The Republican Party is dead.

All that’s left is the party of Trump.

Obviously, you don't have a clue.
