   Hello Aaron,   
      
   >LL>it has become nothing more than a polite fiction. What Republicans are   
   >LL>voting for is dictatorship under Trump & Co.   
      
   >We're voting for Trump policy.   
      
   Trumpers are not voting for Trump due to whatever "policy" he has,   
   as he has no policy.   
      
   >It's not a dictatorship.   
      
   I call it Trumpism rather than dictatorship. A dictatorship is more   
   like government by committee. Trumpism is more like "do as I say" -   
   regardless of what I do.   
      
   >The Republican party is a lot more united than you want it to be.   
      
   Those who have aligned themselves with Trump are more united than   
   any party has been. That is not the same as the Republican Party being   
   more united. Far from it. Many have broken away and are now Independent   
   or remain Republican in name only.   
      
   >Nobody has argued with Trump's policy or actions,   
      
   George Will, Steve Schmidt, Mitt Romney, a whole slew of others ...   
      
   >from our end, with the exception of 2 immature idiots who feel hurt because   
   > they lost their elections.   
      
   It is a lot more than that, including Pulitzer-winning authors.   
      
   >I was proud to hear George W. Bush say that reports of him endorsing Biden   
   > were completely false.   
      
   It would be surprising to find any former Republican president to   
   endorse a Democrat for president. But no surprise at all that GWB   
   refused to endorse Trump for a second term.   
      
   >I bet that even Jeb Bush will at least vote for Trump.   
      
   I seriously doubt it. Especially since many who worked on the   
   Bush campaign are now actively working on the Biden campaign.   
      
   >No living Republican (except for Mitt) is endorsing Biden.   
      
   Like I said, it would be surprising if any former Republican   
   preident would endorse a Demcorat for president. Just as it would   
   be surprising if any former Democrat president would endorse a   
   Republican for president.   
      
   But for a former Republican president, such as George W. Bush,   
   not to endorse a sitting Republican president. That has got to   
   hurt. Bigly.   
      
   >At least not any living federal Republicans.   
      
   I am sure George H.W. Bush would have done the same as GWB   
   had he still been alive.
