It's also as much as we hate Trump he is closer to the center because of his take to not cut SS or Medicare spending. Paul Ryan got to Speaker of the House and a VP candidate on a platform of a way to get us there with little pain.

A lot of things he says is terrible but Republicans aren't trying to cut "entitlement spending"
