   The name of the game in a multi racial multi ethnic democracy is patronage.   
   Votes are purchased by gifts from the public purse.    
      
   and right about now someone is going to bitch to me about how things are not   
   supposed to be this way, or we are this type of system not that type of   
   system. I don't care, learn the difference between is and aught.   
      
   While Trump delivers very little, almost zero, he has delivered more to the   
   white working man in this country than any other GOP candidate in lifetimes.   
   In many respects the GOP is worse than the dems because they sell hope and   
   when it comes time to deliver they falter. This is in no large part because   
   they are the designated losers of the system. They are the outer party to the   
   dems inner party.   
      
   When Trump dies anyone can take his crown by doing one simple thing, providing   
   patronage. The dems deliver patronage by the boatload to their people. Good   
   jobs in the state or universities and nearly unlimited funding for their pet   
   projects through organizations like USAID.    
      
   Trumps defunding of USAID was great but he needs to do more and fund right   
   wing programs.   
      
   If the GOP can not find it within themselves to own who their voters are, for   
   the most part white men, and provide them with the things they want. Trumps   
   base will tune out and depending on age radicalize more.
