Finally I must say Trump might do some good. An issue in our current political sphere is the polarization of politics. The Freedom Caucus and the far left represent each pole. The intractability with regards to negotiating and compromise has deeply effected the ability of our government to function by cowtowing to the demands of the minorities of either party.
The failure of the most recent swing at health care is the epitome of this issue. Not even with a majority control in congress and the full support of the White House could the right pass a bill. The Freedom caucus is so ideological that no compromise could be made not even among republicans.
The call to primary them might actually do some good. It might even plant the seeds for dems and republican to work together.
For debate is the ideological extremism represented by the freedom caucus good for the Republican Party?
Is it good for congress?
Is it good for America?

As a Christian I believe the only real freedom comes in having a relationship with God. Trump is one politician among hundreds, he represents a world system that has on the whole failed the people.

Re: Trump vs Freedom!
Post #12It will never happen, but I'd love for Trump to stand up at his first State of the Union address, look the camera straight in the eye, and ask America to replace every single one of the Senators and Representatives currently sitting in office with someone that is willing to compromise and work towards middle ground.DanieltheDragon wrote: Finally I must say Trump might do some good.

Re: Trump vs Freedom!
Post #13Both the Democrats and the Republicans have succumbed to extremist stances. Both seem to be under the self-destructive belief that if they compromise or collaborate with the other side that they are doing something bad. And that is why nothing gets done.DanieltheDragon wrote: Finally I must say Trump might do some good. An issue in our current political sphere is the polarization of politics.

There are very few politicians who wish to cross the aisle. The only one lately that I've read about in the media (the same left wing corrupt media - go figure) was Republican John McCain.
(just as a disclaimer, I consider myself neither Dem nor Rep. I believe the two party system has failed).
