They will compromise and cave as they usually do. They will start to use the same language as the other party.
Strengthen Social Security = Cut benefits and raise the age
Protect Medicare = Cut benefits and raise the age
Tax Reform= Even more tax cuts for the ruling class.

The future is now, enjoy. Sorry, feeling rather cynical these days, I've seen it too many times to not expect the same movie again.

Peace
