Listen, as a long long long time active Republican, I left the party because of two things....

1. Their move to the far extreme right. Yesterday a pic of Schumer and Putin eating donuts appeared on Gateway Pundit and Truth Division, both notorious alt right/fake news sites.. today that pic is part of the Presidents tweet.

2, Their dropping of the conservative values that attracted me in the first place

Did the Democrats move left.....yep for sure, but you delude yourself in party extremism if you think the Republican have stayed where they have always been.

This forum alone is a great example. The supposed "conservatives" who post here manifest more of the alt right than real conservatism.

Real answers belong in some sort of compromise and as you point out, the Democrats move left and the Republicans move right and thus the gap gets bigger and Washington is completely devoid of leadership at this time thus I do not see it changing much in the near future.

For example...just one....Trump representing the Republicans say we need more jobs...PERIOD. Democrats, represented by Sanders say we need free education.

JOB MAKERS...CORPORATIONS say...we have the jobs, but nobody is qualified or trained.

Think there is a middle ground there somewhere, somehow.
