Il y a des motivations conomiques pour chacune de ces mesures , en quoi a fait de Fillon un fasciste ? <| sep |> The GOP fell ass backwards into their current situation . Claiming that their obstructionist strategy played out as planned with the election of Trump is ridiculous . The GOP leaders and strategists didn ' t endorse Trump . People didn ' t see a vote for Trump as a vote for the GOP . It was a vote against Clinton , both parties , and the gridlock we ' ve lived with for 8 years . The GOP had no control over Democrats nominating a terrible candidate . The only strategies that worked were gerrymandering and voter suppression . Everything else that happened outside of those two factors was completely out of their control . Unless they change the way they govern on a fundamental level , they are imminently beatable in the immediate future . They happened to lose the popular vote and win the presidency . That ' s not proof of a great strategy . It ' s proof that the Dems have a better than even money chance to take over . And soon .
