I can safely say this November I will be supplementing my normal voting practices with a bit of strategy. Any candidate that aligns with trump in any way is an outmatic No vote. Any opponent cannot be worse than a one that aligns with this joke of a president. If there is not a clear alignment with trump by either candidate I MAY vote for the one that will marginalize him the best.
Congress is supposed to have equal power to the president but some of these congressmen that know he’s terrible and support him anyway because they are afraid of the republican base are tilting the power scale in his favor and disgracing their own offices.

Equal power? OMG you couldn't be more Wrong! Gov't structure isn't about equal power. Try check and balance, it's not equal. A fundamental principle of American government, guaranteed by the Constitution, whereby each branch of the government (executive, judicial, and legislative) has some measure of influence over the other branches and may choose to block procedures of the other branches.With checks and balances, each one of the three branches of government can limit the powers that the other branches has. This way no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch checks the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. It's not equal. Go vote Dem and watch your company growth slow down. Good luck knocking Trump out the white house with the economy running at 4 plus GDP. It's about the economy stupid!
