Sanders presidency would preserve parties

I don’t like Donald Trump but I understand where his supporters are coming from. They’re tired of GOP obstructionism and a dysfunctional Congress. They’re tired of trade deals that send American jobs overseas. They’re tired of stagnant wages and growing inequality, and they’re tired of Wall Street corruption and big money buying out elected officials. They are so frustrated they could become swing voters and elect Bernie Sanders president.

Four years of a Bernie Sanders presidency would probably not accomplish everything his campaign sets out to, but it’s a start. More importantly is would give the Republican Party a chance to not disintegrate, a chance to re-set and reorganize. It would give the Republican Party a chance to elect moderates to Congress that understand that what is good for the American workforce is good for American businesses.

A Bernie Sanders presidency would bring back balance between liberalism and conservatism in this country and insure that both the Democrat and Republican parties remain strong and constructive.
