Discuss the political situation in the United States and express your opinion on the effectiveness of Republican policies.
Well the democrats will strike back when they  ge back into  power again.  They will and soon.  Republicans always blow it resulting in democrats coming back in.  Main reason is republicans don't offer anything that actually benefits anyone other than the very rich.This tends to lead to economic meltdowns just like under that republican hero, G W Bush.  Enjoy republicans while you can.  Enjoy your clown in chief.
