Editor,
Who really runs the Republican party? It seems that it is our Republican elected members of both the House and the Senate who have great fear of Donald Trump’s large voting-block called his base are the ones running the party. Trump cares little about his base as individuals. He cares only about himself, although he does value his base for their approval of him.
The present Republican party really has no platform. Our present Republican members of the House and Senate are rendered dysfunctional through their fear of losing the Trump-base votes. Trump is even railing against our present Republican leaders in Congress.
Our general population is largely in favor of President Biden and his well-qualified team. The majority of “We the People” like the direction being taken in their attempts to heal our democracy and create a better living environment for all. Biden is honest, politically savvy and sensible in his actions.
If we can continue and grow this healing-our-nation-momentum, it would seem that our next elections can bring back a well-functioning two-party system of Republicans and Democrats. Let’s plan for this and vote accordingly.
