There may be hope for America yet.... (1 Viewer)

I will read this with some time in the next few days, because it's an interesting topic.

I'm a republican and have voted that way, above all else being fiscally conservative. No one's looking out for my welfare, I work for it. I'm not running to a polling booth to vote to pledge my share of taxes to support those people, not all of course which is ludicrous, but those who don't want to go out and work for it themselves. That's just me, and everyone can pull the lever however they choose, it's what makes America great. But, that's why I vote for the party. I don't, however, tow the party line blindly on all other debate points like some republicans do, because I do have a mind of my own.

If you put a moderate candidate out there who was fiscally conservative and took his or her own stances on every other issue ever debated outside of taxes, I'd probably vote for him or her most definitely over someone pandering across the board to republican or democrat check the box stances on all non-tax/fiscal issues.

It seems like the Millennials are different from most over 30 types--in general, they appear far more open to independent candidates, which is a great thing.

 
Millenials are still livining off the fat of their parents decadent 1980s and 1990s. The country would probably be better served with an exact opposite ideology; one that served us well in our "glory" days of the post WWII....that primarily being fiscally liberal and socially conservative.

I think we could probably jettision the racism still be alright socially wise.

While I know that the idea of unions and government involved in BB is anathema to conservatives......I'd imagine the jettisoning of the economic aspects of The Great Society would be a nice compromise.
