This is likely due to the fact that many voters did not want Roy Moore to win the election because of the sexual assault allegations, even though he was backed by Donald Trump. Many districts that were light red, changed to light blue, and many districts that were dark red turned to light red. That is to say that republican districts voted less for the republican party and may have turned slightly democratic for this election. Already democratic districts became more democratic. This is all due to the campaign strategies, or lack thereof by both
The start I agree that both parties are wrong to think that election is stupid or meaningless. Another topic that I agree on is that Trump shouldn 't have won the Republican vote but but some other and better Republican. Another big topic that involves Donald is his Twitter account and thinking that some people really care what he is thinking about. He is either making people agree with him or other people that don 't agree with him and get pissed. Donald Tump probably doesn 't even notice that his approval rating have dropped by a lot.
John Boehner’s Resignation and the Republican Presidential Race On September 25th, Speaker of the House John Boehner announced to congress that he planned to resign within the next few weeks. Following this news, the Republican Party has had constant debate over Boehner’s departure and also over the fate of the party as a whole. In the article by Collinson and Reston, the two authors claim that the Republican Party is becoming increasingly divided causing traditional republicans like Boehner and Jeb Bush to be seen outcasts.
The Republicans as of today are very different, yet similar to the other,
I believe that people should vote for Gary Johnson in the election cycle because he believes in spending less on the military, the legalization of marijuana, and the right for people to bear arms. These are the reasons why citizens should be voting for Gary Johnson in this election cycle. As mentioned above, Gary Johnson is a strong believer in the United States spending less of its federal budget on the armed forces. He is very isolationist and anti-war.
While Republicans are voted mostly by white men, Democrats are voted by other minority races like Blacks and Hispanics, along with higher number of women. Of these, the younger adults tend to be toward Democrats, while middle-aged adults tend to favor the Republicans. This could also be linked to the income and education level, where higher income and education favors the Republican side and the lower, the Democratic side. Marital status has an influence too, where married couples are more toward the Republicans, and singles more toward the Democrats. The regions are distinct too, where Republicans are strongest in the South and Midwest of U.S. apart from Democrat’s power in the Northeast and California.

Following the Civil War and Lincoln 's death, the party began passing several laws under Reconstruction. However, people become disenfranchised when rich Republicans began taking over. Furthermore, these rich Republicans would not push for civil rights and equal protection and left the South to its own devices.

The Democrats believe there should be only cuts for middle and low-income families, but believe they should be taxed at a higher rate on corporations and wealthy individuals. The Republicans believe there should be tax cuts for everyone, both corporations and people of all income levels. “The Republicans passed the Bankruptcy Bill favoring credit card businesses over Americans whose budgets are destroyed by job loss or medical bills” (Freeman 329). In their turn, the Democrats have passed the Welfare Reform Act, cutting benefits for the poorest layers of the American population.
The other was Tom Watson, who the Populist political party nominated as their candidate for president. Because there had been two candidates supporting Populist ideas during the election some believed that was the reason that the Republican candidate won. The outcome of the election and what the Populists did not expect was the major national party realignment which, in turn, made the Republicans the dominant party for the next 36 years. The dominance of the Republican Party almost thanks to the Populist movement had a large effect on how the country grew and changed and even how the country functions today.
Many people blamed the Electoral College. People said that the Electoral College had false numbers put into Donald Trump’s electoral votes. It was either the false numbers or the Electoral votes were counted wrong. Countless numbers of people asked for recounts because they declared that the Electoral College was “in favor for Donald Trump”. Citizens were also complaining that Donald Trump did not win the popular vote and Hillary Clinton did so she should have won the presidency.
In fact, the Republicans need to put more efforts by going to communities where the Republicans do not usually go to and by gaining new supporters and voters. For example, they need to campaign amongst all kinds of African Americans such as gays, hetero, men, women, youth and so on. The Republicans have to show that they care about all these kind of people to gain their support. Affirmative action law is also another way by which the Republicans can gain African American votes. The law favors the African Americans, we see that above "82% of African-Americans agree with Affirmative Action"; if the Republicans can keep the affirmative action laws on going they can gain the votes of African Americans.
When it comes to the Republicans, they are known to be conservative. Political parties fuel the fire of our nation's citizen’s political views.
