Oh dear Whodey... it looks like you’re pulling a Mottballs on this one.

How deep will you dig the whole, I wonder.

56 percent of the wealthiest families are Republican. The top 6 wealthiest families are Republican, as are 8 of the top 10 wealthiest families; 16 of the 20 richest families are Republican.

Thanks for playing.

And how exactly are you measuring a "Republican"?

You mean like the Koch Brothers who came out against Trump? That kind of a Republican?

Technically both are possible, I presume.

But yes, spelling on my phone does some strange ffing stuff.

Now, imagine you put that obviously massive brain to better use and address thr issue...

Didn't you also feel that Trump wasn't a Republican? Or have you changed your mind?

Wasn't he a Democrate, put in this place to undermine the real republicans?

A lot of Republicans, like McCain and "W", hate Trump.

Most of the GOP still has their heads up their arse. They play nice with Progressives and collude with them continually while not calling out their hypocrisy.

In fact, the first Progressive President was Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican.

This is the same man that later ran as an independent in order to have President Wilson get elected.

So let's say you are correct and go by the DNC talking points. Let's say that 56% of the 1% are Republican and that they all support Trump and hate the poor, etc., etc., etc.. That means that 44% of the top 1% are Dims.

Why is it that there is not more wealth distribution then?

Yeah... makes you wonder why you think the democrats are left-wing, doesn’t it?

Rich elitists who run the DNC only want control.

They want a standard salary for their slaves across the board via entitlements and no uppity upstarts that wish to join their ranks to help keep the riff raff out.

Oopsie... seems you're having a mild case of word diarrhea.

My question was:

"Didn't you also feel that Trump wasn't a Republican? Or have you changed your mind?

Wasn't he a Democrate, put in this place to undermine the real republicans?"

By definition he is a Republican because that is how he is registered.

As for his ideology, that is a different discussion.

My main point here is, many Republicans would have rather seen Hillary win than Trump, even though that means having the opposing party win.

So you don't believe his "ideology" is Republican?

Do you remember how you were once sure Trump was a Democrate put in place to ruin the Republican party? It's not that long ago that you were quite sure of that, you know.

You feel that people should always vote Republican, even when they truly believe the Republican candidate is terrible?

Trump is the first to openly stand up to a Left wing media and the first to stand up and demand such things as a border wall. These are all things that run contrary to the Swamp. As such, he has set himself up as a whipping boy.

Now is Trump part of the plot to destroy the GOP. Possibly. After all, under Trump the debt has risen exponentially, but then, it always does. In fact, I said long ago that Trump would never get the wall. The only question is, how will the script be written to stop it, assuming he is in on the scam.

In short, there is no room for dissent in the US Federal government. If there is, they will destroy you as they are doing to Trump.

The hell are you talking about? That's not from the "DNC", that was YOUR talking point:

@whodey said
The top 1% is 100% far Left.

44% of the top 1% are Dims.

Republicans (until just recently) have controlled all of Congress for the last 4 years, while simultaneously having full control of SCOTUS for a good portion of that time.

Since Republicans also filibustered Democrats during Obama's era a record number of times, as well as shut down the government in order to impede progress, why don't you go ask them?

Well the last couple of years the GOP had all three branches

And what did they do? They increased spending while continuing to fund things like Planned Parenthood but not the wall.

Makes you wonder why they bother to run under a different party other than the Dim banner.
