    They need to make sure Julian always wears a blue tie and Joaquin wears a purple tie so that no one gets confused.

    A message of "bringing people together" is flawed as it paints the opposite party as a legitimate political group with divided ideas, but the same ultimate goals, and we just need to find a way compromise.

    This is not the case of America. We are not that.

    The other side is a terrorist organization attempting to hijack power and destroy Democracy. It is a cancer to our society and must be purged as quickly and efficiently as possible.

    LOL, don't hold back, tell us what you really think. Out of curiosity, have you come up with a "final solution" to the other side question?

    While I like both Castro brothers, Julian is angling for more name recognition and in reality is running for VP to the eventual nominee.

    This is probably not a constructive attitude to take.

    At some point Hispanics will start voting and but maybe not this election. I don't know what percent of Hispanics voted in 2016 but 10% of the voters were Hispanic and they are 18% of the population so they still aren't voting at a high rate relatively.

    The changey-hopey "bring people together" stuff is likelier to yield results than to brand 40%+ of the country as complicit in terrorism and tyranny. I suspect that Trump is a criminal and should be removed as a criminal. But 50 million people voted for him. You can't purge 50 million people. The people who selected that guy out of 17 hopefuls to be the Republican candidate and ultimately the President have legitimate concerns. Their concerns are not a cancer on society. I think they made bad choices in trying to address the concerns, and we'll always be working on that. What the Republican party does will be a reaction to this electorate. Apart from Trump, the Republican Party is no more an evil cabal than is the Democratic Party. But if you treat them as if they were, you will never be able to agree on areas of common ground, or reach compromises because doing either means making a deal with the devil and absolutists like yourself will punish such compromisers at the ballot box and leave us in a stalemate forever.

    Okay, let's say the Republican Party is an evil cabal. What about the 50 million people that voted for Trump?

    I don't think 50 million of them are evil. But at this point, they have to be okay with the President doing all of the things that Trump has done and said.

    If they say, "I don't like him tweeting hateful, racist, misogynistic, things but it's worth it to have him choose supreme court justices and hopefully have deregulation or whatever", then those voters have sold out their principles for that. Anyone that supports Trump for those reasons is saying they are willing to have someone who is corrupt, surrounds himself with corrupt people, supports racist ideas and folks in order to get deregulation and a supreme court justice.

    So I have a problem with those voters as well.

    There is some unique advantages to having twin as President and VP.
