Political gap

Over the past decades political parties have moved to their extremes and many have found this to be advantageous. It allows them to get away with poor performance by blaming the other party. The democrats now find themselves in an awkward position because of Trump. He has said that he will not touch Medicare or social security. He seems not to care about budget deficits. He was for gay marriage before Obama was. His companies are staffed with high paid women and now he has proposed giving illegal aliens citizenship. Next he wants to spend much of the revenue from the tax cuts on infrastructure. The gulf between the parties is narrowing. Most of the complaints now center around Trump’s personality.
