The Republican Party began in Lincoln's time as a party that was the financially conservative party of the Industrial Northeast and the socially liberal party to end slavery. The Democratic Party was the financially liberal and socially conservative party of the rural South in which slavery existed. In recent years the Republican Party has remained the party of the very wealthy but has increasingly become infiltrated by people who are to the far right socially as well as financially. With the election of Trump, we now see a marriage between extreme nativism and a financial policy that serves the very wealthy big donors at the expense of ordinary citizens. Financially Trump especially represents the fast buck wealthy. A perfect example is the Republican plan to deregulate health insurance to the benefit of cheap fly by night junk insurance plans that lure in the unsuspecting with skeleton insurance policies that do not provide comprehensive health care. This is typical Trump. Do what looks good but is rotten underneath (whatever you can get away with). There are so many other things wrong with the Trump (formerly Republican) Party, but they are too numerous to mention here.
VOTE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, TO THROW TRUMP'S GANG OUT OF CONGRESS AND BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR GOVERNMENT!
