The motive for some candidates is simply to take the initiative to challenge/replace really bad office holders, thinking "I can do a better job than this vile, incompetent SOB". Or to challenge, break the mold, of the predominant political establishment. I recall supporting such candidates in various local elections in Illinois. Success in those cases can be infectious, trend setting, leading to more favorable outcomes in public policy -- women's reproductive rights, for example, anti- discrimination laws and practices.

Can you tell me what both sides agreed on for immigration before Trump scuttled it? I have been looking for that info. Who would know?
