   To be honest, I don't care what the Republican party thinks, and why you do is   
   beyond me.  Up until 2016, when the Democratic party thought that Hillary would   
   be a good president, I would have (if I was a US citizen) not wanted to vote   
   Republican.  I'm not a US citizen, but I'm just saying, that if I was in the   
   US, I couldn't have voted for the party of McCain or Romney, and I would have   
   preferred to see them lose.  The Republican party doesn't represent the   
   interests of working Americans, it hasn't for a long time.  Pooh to them I say!   
      
   Must be desperate if we are referring to the opinions of Republican party hacks   
   now.   
      
   What is Trumpism anyway?
