Imagine for a moment there was no Democrat

Most Republicans – especially those who are directly affected by the policies the GOP Legislators, their Representatives in Washington, have embraced – have no idea that their lives are better, not because of the (Republican) Party their parents, grandparents and great grandparents have espoused, but because in between the damages Republican Legislators, Mayors, Governors & Presidents have done to their states, to the country, Democrats have governed and managed to mitigate, minimize and even eliminate some traces of those damages.

It is very difficult to determine whether Republican Legislators in Washington know or even understand what their primary duty ought to be. Case in point, the effort to repeal Obamacare, an exercise both Houses (the Republican Congress and the Senate) went through more than 50 times, is the most salient example they do not have the interests of their supporters at heart, let alone the interests of the rest of the nation.
