Why should I vote for Trump?

Alan, if you don’t know you have been in a long coma)

No coma, sorry. I was just curious to know what my party has done that you might consider "damage to the country". I didn't mean it to be rhetorical but if you don't want to answer that's OK.

Thanks for that. One question though, in the list at the end were any of those regulations or rules being modified initially approved by the peoples representatives in Congress? I'm wondering if a regulatory state is better than a nation of laws approved by the peoples representatives. I think a Republican would probably say not and risk the scorn of big government lovers by ensuring the people have a say in the administration of the country.

Luckily for those authoritarian government lovers, it seems likely to me that they will take over in just a few months and they'll get to change everything back to their liking.

Reminds me of the recent question if electors could vote the way they want or be required to vote the way the majority of people in their state want them to.

I don't think many people are authoritarian government lovers. The point is to protect what we can based on the science we have. That is the main premise in the above.

And the answer is Yes. While each state enforces their own rules the Supreme Court just last month affirmed the states right to deal with Faithless Electors, as rare as they are.

Yes it was. Stephen Root is good in everything. I think he may be the best character actor in the business at the moment.

That was my thought when I watched it too. Although I’m not sure how they could tighten it up without leaving stuff out.
