The real problem with the Republican party seems to be that they spend such a lot on their iffy campaigns (s0me say involving the Russians) - they can't really afford to have policies.

All the incoming President really knows is that he's in hock to the armaments industry. So theres probably going to be a war at the first opportunity with loads of contracts going to the companies that paid for their campaign.

Obviously all hopes for decency from political parties are doomed to disappointment. I feel the same about the party in England I have voted for all my life. I really couldn't say with any certainty what the leader actually thinks about any number of topics. The opposition party is a many headed monster - no one knows which faction has the final say - but their financial backing comes from the great financial institutions. So you DO know that they'll shit on the poor.

Its like voting for a vacuum.
