Ah, gotcha. As for "independents"... no such thing here, it would appear that if you say something "un-Republican", you are automatically a Democrat, I am not sure if that is the same if you say something "un-Democrat" if that would automatically make you a Republican or not. Also, I have stopped calling myself an independent as there is actually now an Independent party (has been for some time and I knew of it), I just recently looked at them and.... I am MOST DEFINITELY NOT AN INDEPENDENT!!!!!

Yes, all caps WERE necessary as was the multiple exclamation marks. It would be bad enough being a Republican, much worse being an Independent. Them fools and their assuming the name Independents for their party, I may have actually considered joining their party of it were more centered.

I don't recall what prevented me from considering the Libertarian party, I recall I liked some of their stand points but there was at least one or more that I disagreed on and they were deal breakers. Of course more than two parties only muddies the water but then if you have a dud in the Republican party and a dud in the Democrat party, might as well vote for the candidate in a party that you agree most with, unless you get a situation like 2016 where one candidate you don't feel you can trust anywhere near ANYTHING dangerous much less the nuclear launch codes.

One would hope that an individual could vote for any candidate whose platforms they support, regardless of the Party...

Too many people tend to be single issue voters... Or worse... Party line voters...

Members of my family alternate between the Liberal, Conservative and Green Parties back home... Depends on the election (municipal, provincial and federal) and the platforms being presented...I vote Conservative in federal elections, But support the NDP (New DemocratIc Party) in provincial elections...

Party affiliation can really exert pressure on an individual's viewpoints... Easy to get sucked in.

By now Trump supporters must know deep in there harts, that Cohen’s portrayal of Trump as a racist, Con man, and a cheat is spot on.
So what republicans and Trump supporters fear the most is the truth and it is the truth, fundamental reality as it actually is, that republicans feel compelled to destroy the truth. Ignore the facts and attack the messenger. That’s all they have now to keep there ignorant base in line.

Republicans made fools of themselves at the Cohen hearings, asked no questions about Trump felonies or even disputed evidence submitted, not one question of the Trump signed canceled check on hush money that Trump lies about, but choose to attack the messenger instead of the message. Not once did republicans ask a question about documents submitted by Cohen to congress that proved his testimony. (NOT EVEN MENTION THE CANCELLED CHECKS BY TRUMP HIS SON AND ALLEN WEISSELBERG)

We watched as republicans attacked Cohen personally as a convicted liar. (WHICH HE IS) But republicans avoiding what Cohens lies entailed. ( EVERY LIE WAS TO PROTECT THE TRUMP BRAND AT ALL COST WHILE TRUMP HAVING FULL KNOWLEGE) so Cohen goes to jail and Trump sits in the White House eating McDonalds hamburgers and fries with a Diet Coke.

The only thing keeping Trump from being indicted is his position as president.

Let’s look at other evidence by just using one example and Congress has many more documents that point to the Trump crime family.

And Republicans fear the truth. Congress has Trumps financials from 2018 he showed in his financial disclosures a piece of property he owned was worth 25 to $51million. Now that Democrats have Oversight they subpoenaed Trumps financials from Deutsche Bank where the same piece of property Trump disclosed was worth $291 million. According to Cohen this was a standard practice in the Trump circle of crime. Congess now has Cohens blunt under oath assertions as to what those documents were used for. But no Republican asked one question about what is clearly Bank Fraud by Trump. Republicans fear the truth because they have denied request by Democrats to subpoena these documents for 2 years to cover for Trump. But now at least we have one branch that now has subpeana power and all the republicans have now is to attack the messenger with hopes there ignorant base will ignore the facts. (AND THEY WILL MAINTAIN THERE IGNORANCE AND CONTINUE TO ATTACK CLINTON)

So Republicans and Trump supporters fear the truth, that’s why on OPP his ignorant supporters like to divert from facts and evidence and just continue with there lame attacks leveled at Clinton. For 3 1/2 years this country had to endure 392 subpoenas issued by republicans and found nothing even close to indictments on Clinton or Obama administration. Not even lying which is a serious offense when you lie to congress.

( BUT IGNORANT TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO THIS DAY REACH BACK INTO THERE GOODIE BAG OF CONSPIRACY THRORIES SO ITS CLEAR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THERE IGNORANT BASE FEAR THE TRUTH)

So republicans after loosing control have flipped back to there typical
Agenda of just ignore the facts and denigrate the messenger. They have been doing this for over 5 years now to keep there ignorant base in line.

(BUT NOW AFTER THE FIRST HEARING BY DEMOCRATS THAT THEY ARE AFTER FACTS UNTILIZING ACTUAL EVIDENCE INSTEAD OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES BY FOX NEWS INFOWARS, BREITHBART, AND RISSIAN PROPAGANDA WHILE FINALLY PERFORMING THERE JOB OF GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND IN THE END THEY WILL NOW PROVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF THE STUPID) this country is watching the destruction of the Republican Party.

One would hope that an individual could vote for any candidate whose platforms they support, regardless of the Party...

Too many people tend to be single issue voters... Or worse... Party line voters...

You are missing the fact he lied about it...

and the "personal account" is the account he is supposed to have nothing to do with because his business is supposed to be handled by the kids. So much for that moron's charade huh?

The crime if nothing else were the lies, the I knew nothing about anything over and over. Well, apparently if he was signing checks he was lying wasn't he?

Clinton got impeached for lying about a blowjob, not the BJ. Flash to Lindsey Graham and his outrage that a president would lie to the people.

Can you imagine if Clinton or Obama ever did what Trump has done over the last two years this Republican Party would be screaming for impeachment.
The problem now is for over 2 years there has been no government oversight of Trump he has done and said anything he wanted wether it was illegal or just flat out lies. Now the democrats have 2 years of no Executive Branch Oversight to contend with.

The corruption and personnel spending with his cabinet secretaries is massive because Trump never controlled any of these people. Nobody in over two years has done an audit of Trump and his family spending of our Tax dollars. Republicans would Audit Obama every month a scream about his expenses. Not once has the republicans even mentioned a Trump Audit. But not anymore
