It has traditionally, but Trump is upending them. This is why they fought so hard to cheat him out of the nomination. Sanders did the same thing on the left. Before the primaries were over I made a commitment to support whichever one of them was "allowed" to win. The only reason Trump emerged out of the wreckage on the right was because conservatives voted for him so overwhelmingly that it overpowered the efforts of the GOP to cheat him out of the nomination. People point out that the DNC "put it's thumb on the scale" for Clinton, but the same thing happened in the GOP. If only the Dems were educated and attentive enough to give Bernie a 70/30 split in actual votes, maybe he would have emerged with a 55/45 victory.

They need congress and the senate more than the presidency. Only 26% of vote eligible America is Republican. They get their real support from corporation, just slightly more than the Democrats do.

Sure they want Hillary, but make no mistake, Trump is their second choice.

Rich people get a different voting system. They get a proportional system. We get first past the post.

Some animals are just more equal than others.
