*hands at sides* Do you remember about the confidential informant in the Trump campaign?
gpt
I had a vague recollection of that.  It was an FBI spy, right?
human
It was not an FBI spy - just someone in the campaign who was concerned about the connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.
gpt
oh ok, it was a confidential informant.  Trump claimed it was an FBI spy, but it wasn't. 
human
*relaxed posture* Correct.  Even Lindsey Graham agreed  that he was not a spy.
gpt
Right, it seems the GOP did not want to back Trump on that whole spygate thing.  
human
Yes it might have been the last time they stood up to Trump.  The president is a title for the head of state in most republics, but it is not a dictatorship
gpt
Right, although 5 have been elected while still losing the popular vote
human
Yes - the Republicans have lost the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 elections as their traditional demographic is shrinking.
gpt
That's true, they also don't seem very interested in reaching out beyond their traditional demographics.  I wonder how they plan to survive in the future?
human
I am not sure.  Their core support in recent years comes from the South and the Mountain states, and the Evangelicals.  The urban areas are all blue.
gpt
*body relaxes* Hillary Clinton was a republican in college, apparently...that's interesting. 
human
I did not know that.  Though she might be like me and grow more liberal as she ages.  Plus the Republican party has grown far more right-wing even since Reagan.
gpt
Yeah, the GOP is hard to relate to at times.  I try to be objective but its hard to even consider voting for a party that denies climate change and has people like Mike Pence that believe in conversion therapy.  
human
I completely agree.  After the Civil Rights act and the Voting Rights Act they started shifting right and very conservative.  Taking away voting rights seems to be their big thing right now.
gpt
Yeah, they are not the party of Lincoln like they claim.  Although, Richard Nixon did propose a guaranteed minimum income.  
human
Yes for sure.  I find it funny that Harry Truman visited Disneyland and refused to be photographed on the Dumbo ride because he did not want to be associated with the Republicans!
gpt
That is really funny!  Lincoln was the first president to be photographed and john wilkes booth was in the photo...wow!
human
*eyes widen* Wow that is crazy!   It fits though - every US president who has had a beard was a Republican!
gpt
*body relaxes* Wow!  Trump should grow a beard.
