The stoggy old GOP is being shown the door. Two non-politicians and only sorta Republicans are leading the way in Iowa. Trump has tossed down the gauntlet and told the GOP he'll either do it with them or without them

You act like the exact same thing isn't happening with the Democrats.

100% true.
Prairie fires start like this. Lots of little embers that get a little bigger when the wind is just right. Then next thing you know 2 fires become 1 bigger. And it just keeps going until 5000 buffalo come rage-assing at you.
But by that time, yer fucked.

Such a tired and unsubstantiated claim.
Yes, both parties primarily prioritize the interests of their corporate donors above Joe Average.
Besides that clear similarity, there are other areas where they are clearly different.
I'd rather have a democrat in office or congress if I'm gay,
or if I'm a woman who chooses contraception or to end an unwanted pregnancy,
or if I'm an unskilled worker who would like more than $8.50,
or if I want to be protected from dangerous work conditions,
etc...

I haven't gotten to the Democrats yet, but they're betting on a lame horse and just don't get it.
