[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3016412, member: 66082"] What I think about republicans is bifurcated, because there are nationally elected republicans in Congress and there are local elected republicans in various states that sit on local school boards, as tax assessors etc, then there are state elected republicans, and then there are republican voters. Broadly speaking, I know very little about many locally elected republicans serving on school boards and such. State elected republicans are a very very mixed bag in terms of their policy ideas to some extent. But nationally elected republicans are insane and dishonest and bad for the nation. Republican voters are the most confusing because as far as I can tell, they don't actually support the republican party at the national level at least on the basis of policy. The polling data on issue after issue is very clear, the things that nationally elected republicans want to do like cut medicare and Medicaid and get rid of the expansion of Medicaid from the ACA and throw people off of the insurance gain from the ACA are all unpopular with self described republican voters. Republican voter support a higher minimum wage, which again the Republican party wants to get rid off and never increase, they are for protectionist trade policies, which again the Republican party at the national level doesn't support, they don't care about income tax cuts for rich people or corporations, etc. So it seems to me that republican voters are voting for republicans at the national level not based on policy but something else.
