I make a decision based upon the well-being of my country. I've voted for many politicians I disagreed with because I believed them to be people of high moral caliber, and those who would work to better the country rather than themselves. That's the reason I vote third-party as often as I do. I don't believe either party has had a candidate of high character since Reagan, and I see Trump, Obama and the Clintons as symptoms of that problem rather than causes of it. Telling four minority, female Congresspeople and American citizens that they should go back where they came from rather than criticize the politician in chief speaks to a huge ego and a small brain, and a pandering to those of similar composure.

He told them to go back and figure out the issues and return here to help. I know, doesn't fit the evil orange man narrative. The fact that these congress folks happen not to be white, they are women, and minorities if we still want to use that term, has no play in this back and forth game. This is about their inability to legislate, and there extreme views that don't match up with traditional America and the rule of law. They are hypocritical and projection blaming. Not only is it a power struggle within the party, but they are also trying to twist and represent a new narrative of which you and a vocal few are falling for.

If I were you, I'd just sit at home on election day if you think politicians and morals are synonymous. The political climate is to serve the majority fruitfuly and yet a small segment will get left out always, unfortunately. You certainly don't go extreme for a minority to damage a majority! Identify and fix the wrong while improving further that which is working as you move forward. You don't send the U.S. back to the stone age in an attempt to have a do-over, thinking an outcome will be more beneficial!
