        It helps if you nominate qualified candidates.

        Yeah, because we only elect hyper-partisan line-drawing sycophants who are more interested in keeping the lobbyist and super-pac money flowing than in actually working to ensure a successful future... or present for that matter.

        Abolish political parties. Have every candidate run on his own ideas and principals instead of a "Party platform" "You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one" Lennon (The songwriter, not the Socialist Despot)

        Trump must learn to change instead of coming off so ignorant. He likes to win, what’s hurting him is that he’s going to slow learn that you can’t win everything. Sometimes you lose. Losing is what makes your stronger and more determine to doing better than before.

        @SenateMajorityL It's your failure by allowing Dem to block Rep ability to carry out the will of the voters who elected you by not using a simple majority to enact legislation. The ppl will suffer from this failure for decades to come

        Beware what you wish for, when the Dems come to power you will cry foul if they ram through appointments or legislation.

        The gov't has intefered for years. Tarriffs are not free market. Stimulus is not gree market, the Fed adjusting int. rates is not free market. We use socialism when it suits us.

        Govt control socialism always fails despite what everyone thinks. Only Free Mkt & Individual Liberty cost control sales profit biz creates wealth & destributes it via wages & return on investment

        Demand is what drives everything. No demand, no saltes, no manufacturing.

        So there wasn't demand until there were cars cell phones electric tooth brushes tv internet etc to be had but that doesn't change the fact that Govt control economies always fail & only Free Mkt & Individual Liberty can succeed over the very long term

        You miss the point we do not have free market. What do you call farm subsidies? That artificially inflates prices. Not free market. As far as cell phones etc goes, thats what ads are for create a demand.
