If conservatives want to make headway, they'll try and make it within the Dem Party. Dems are easier to bully and Reps are a lost cause. Except the parties still have to (theoretically) bend to the will of their constituents. Republican voters want to overwhelmingly gut government spending including drastic cuts to the federal government. Democrat voters overwhelmingly want to increase the power of the federal government and raise federal spending. So, if there's an opportunity to rein in government spending in any way, it has to happen through the Republican party and democrats will fight them every step of the way.

Replacing career bureaucrats with political appointees is not "gutting government". It's rearranging government to be more political and less competent.

Can you imagine?

And again, doesn't change the assertion that Republican voters overwhelmingly support drastic spending cuts while dems want more spending and a bigger government. These are just basic characteristics of the voters of both parties backed up by every piece of known data on the subject. I know, I know "hurr derr if conservatives want to conserve they gotsta vote for democrats!"

Democrats want to increase federal power? What is this, 2011? Trump and his conservative court are all about expanding the powers of the POTUS. And neither party is about balancing a budget, they are both big spenders on different things.

Imagine watching Trump plunge us $8T further in debt and continue to pretend that he's going to balance the budget. Kz's delusion is why I coined the phrase Dumbest Cult in the History of Mankind

Edit: And yes, I know I answered my own question when I asked why a Republican didn't read something. Its mind boggling how bad the Vance pick is. Trump's entire core message is allowing poor white people to be victims, this guy directly victim blames them in his book. His appeal is to nobody except the edge lord, bit con, alpha male and trad wife podcast demographic that will win him ZERO states. It might lose him a couple though. This was overconfidence of the worst sort. Trump was thinking only two things, somebody to help cement his dictatorship if need be and cashing in that big tech mo-nay.
