Why vote Republican?

Over at the American Thinker, Brian C. Joondeph is asking the same question many of us are asking: Once again, I ask: Why vote Republican? It seems that there is no difference between Republicans and Democraps in practice. We get the same crap either way. Uncontrolled immigration continues, Obamacare continues to rob people of the medical care they deserve, and our elected officials continue to spend like drunken sailors on leave at a beer and wine festival.

Most of us figured our Congresscritters would cave, folding like a bunch of cheap suits.  The anti-gun fix NICS would find its way into the Omnibus bill, and Obamacare would mysteriously still be funded despite the fact that one of the reasons we elected them was to defund Obamacare.  The wall of course was nowhere in the bill (surprise!).  Things like National Public Radio and Planned Parenthood were naturally in the Omnibus.  Why is Planned Parenthood, a private concern funded by taxpayer dollars, but the NRA is not?  (No, I don't want it to be funded by taxpayer dollars, but I'm asking about the logic of such.)

At this point, I don't see any reason to vote for anyone for Congress.  The Republicans have clearly failed us.  We would have had the same bill had Congress been under Democrap control.

But the real disappointment is that Trump signed the bill into law.  What happened?  Why did he cave?  This is almost as disappointing as when Justice John Roberts wrote an opinion essentially green lighting Obamacare.  That bill was unconstitutional, but Roberts gave it his blessing.  We have been unable to get rid of it since.

Everything else Trump does from now on will not matter.  His Presidency is essentially over.  The swamp has won. So when 2020 comes, I won't be voting for him either.  I will henceforth confine myself to State and local elections.

Too bad.
