What's the difference? Thats a cop out. How do you get to vote for someone and not be held accountable? Dem or Rep, if you vote for someone, you are supporting them.I know I've discussed how certain people have gone out and educated themselves during this election cycle and I think social media and alternatives to mainstream media have made that easier but there are still a lot of people who just vote Republican no matter what.
I'm not sure we can say 50 million support Trump as much as we can say 50 million will never waver from voting red no matter who the GOP throws out there. Which one is scarier I'll leave to you.
Also, you can't even pass any bills without 60 votes in the Senate. So the existence of a large conservative base threatens any chance of real change.
