30% is ALWAYS less then 70%.

I'm not sure how your answer is any better than our current situation. In the GOP's case, they have, say, 80% of the support for Trump, and , say, roughly 50% of the support of the country (that gives the typical 40% support for Trump). That means roughly 40% of the country are lactose intolerant and want a big heaping pile of steak. On your side, you have 30% in favor of vanilla, so with 50% of the country wanting ice cream, only 15% of the total population wants vanilla ice cream.

So, by your flawed logic, the 40% who are fine with the red meat being handed to them by the GOP should continue to hold control over the 15% who want vanilla ice cream. Sounds like we lose big time in November, when they take all the cooked meat and throw use the uncooked scraps again.

What I'd prefer, if you all would do a little compromising, would be to get, say, a box of cookies that 80-90% of the Dems could get behind and maybe convince enough of the other crowd, that doesn't like red meat, and make, preferably well, over 50% of the entire country happy, rather than the minority opinions that are now forcing their food choices down our throats. And in the process get control of the kitchen from Moscow Mitch
