Republicans Unaffiliated Fight 00:02:10
unidentified
Pardon me.
And you just I just think that all parties, including independents, they need to start really, you know, being more active as far as the election process goes.
And it's sad that more younger people aren't.
Okay, Bill there in Florida.

Let's hear from Eric, who joins us from Maryland, also on our independent line.
unidentified
Go ahead.
Yeah, thanks.
I was a Democrat for my entire life up until after the 2016 election.
So I'm going to respond that way.
Democrats, just biggest problem is they just lie about everything.
And it's just the most extreme.
They accuse people of the most extreme things that just aren't happening.
I mean, and it continues through today.
I mean, I was at party meetings where I had leader heads telling people in the room that their own relatives wanted them dead.
And when I asked them if they believed this, after a second or two of contemplation, they actually said yes.
And that's the mentality of the Democrat Party these days.
And as far as the Republicans go, you know, in Maryland, we call it what they don't call us independent.
They call us unaffiliated.
So I've been unaffiliated since after the 2016 election.
But Republicans can't get their act together.
They fight together, fight all the time.
There's no party.
And it's George Bush days when he went online and the party message just wasn't, there was no party message for the Republicans.
But the Democrats, they just, the party message is just ridiculous.
So Eric, let me ask you.
You can see it from a mile away.

Eric, you're breaking up a little bit, but let me ask you, when it comes to that party messaging, particularly amongst the Republicans, and I think you were talking about maybe disagreements or infighting, I don't know, but why do you think that exists?
Republicans Lack Coherent Message 00:00:57
unidentified
You know, the Republicans have always been that way.
Since I first looked into political parties as a kid, when I first went to vote and decided what party I was going to belong to, the Republicans have not had a coherent message that they all stick to.
You see the Democrats, when they go and say something, you can literally see that they got the memo because every one of the Democrats is using the same words.
Identical words.
So that's, you know, that's also a tip for propaganda.
But, you know, Republicans don't have a cohesiveness, and they always fail in the end because they don't have a backbone.
