Tired of the egotistical, obnoxious, un-presidential behavior of Trump. 2016 Third party voters and the upcoming Midterms
Here’s what I think that both Trump and Hillary supporters don’t understand. There are around 10 million of us glad as all get out that Hillary isn’t our president. That those same 10 million are unhappy, frustrated that Trump is. That we who detested both major party choices last year will most likely side with the Democrats in the upcoming midterm election. That doesn’t mean we want the Democrats in charge in Congress, we don’t. It means we have a terrible, foul, bitter taste in our mouth for one each, Donald J. Trump. Not so much as a result of his policies, we favor some, oppose others. It’s his egotistical, obnoxious, very un-presidential behavior. In short, his persona.
To be perfectly clear, Hillary supporters, Democrats, don’t you take the way we are about to vote in the midterms as a redemption of Hillary Clinton. It isn’t. I suspect most of us would still vote against her if she was on the ballot. It isn’t that we like Democrats either, we don’t. Our dislike of the Democrats is a bit less than for the Republicans today. We want to register our contempt for Trump. We are going to give you, the Democrats control of Congress, but only because of one person, Trump. Now keep in mind once we do this, your brand of party first politics, putting party loyalty and agenda ahead of the nation’s. Putting the good of the Democratic party ahead of the good of the country like the Republicans have been doing. That you also leave a bitter taste in our mouths. That in 2020 we could easily reverse the way we vote in 2018. Much like the way we reversed how we voted Democratic in 2006 into a GOP landslide in 2010.
We’re looking for cooperation between the two parties for the good of America. This, both parties have refused to do. We may give you control, but we can easily reverse that decision. What is about to happen isn’t approval or even a like for you as a political party or your ideology. It’s simply a dislike of the person who resides in the Oval Office, nothing more, nothing less. Call it a protest vote, an anti-vote, a vote against someone and a political party you dislike at the moment a bit more than the other political party. Certainly not a vote of acceptance. If there was a third option other than the Democrats, we would take it. But in our two party system, we have to go along with the party we dislike the least.
