    I suppose liberals also think Trump is unhinged, but it's now an accepted opinion among conservative Republicans that not all of Trump's synapses are firing correctly. Haven't you been checking the quotes of prominent conservatives from the Koch brothers on down to your typical Republican member of Congress? Of course, it makes sense that they would be prejudiced against him, as Trump is not conservative and has only temporarily adopted the Republican banner as a flag of convenience.

    Really? Do you not understand that if you have to look to someone outside yourself, look to the government to help you, then you are powerless. A smart person knows not to look for government to legislate our prosperity. We'd like them to get the hell out of our way though.

    Very different mindset.

    Liberal... "save me"
    Conservative... "get out of my way".

    Because I'm an average American citizen and all these leftist poopholes are organized and got things snuck in incrementally?
    Meanwhile I'm just a guy working to make a living,while they are plotting to take 1/3 of my income and give me no say in Government,yet I contribute more than they do.
    I don't feel that's how it should be in any kind of way.
    Don't get me started on ICLEI and why you need to vet your local government politicians.
    Chances are,if there's "sustainable" in their platform,they're on board with the UN and Agenda 21 and the latest one;and will not represent you.
    Surely it's not what Jefferson intended.

    Globalists like the Koch brothers are against Trump as are most billionaires for Clinton. What is good for Wall Street isn't necessary good for Main Street.

    I do find it humorous that Trump has turned libs to the dark side they used to rail against. The 1%ers and Wall Street.

    We have a population that thinks the government can legislate their prosperity by taking from you to give to them, why would they give up the dream of prosperity with little or no effort from them? Notice, they been making this promise forever and it' still no different. The elitist also become more wealthy by taking from you to give to them, why would they give that up?

    The middle class is screwed.

    Unless you haven't been paying attention, trump is a known quantity. Since when does being an "unknown quantity" make someone qualified to be president? Sounds like Russian roulette to me, but with Trump, instead of one chamber loaded, it's only one chamber empty. That's the point of the OP. Trump is perfect for reality TV, but a disaster as president.

    The middle class is screwed by the current system. MRogersNhood politician won't help, and also know the so called safety net is meant for the lazy because the income limits are so low you'd have to be a dead beat to qualify. It's not about income, as your income increases they try to suck you dry, it's about building wealth and try to convert from earning W2 income to investment (passive) income. Just keep your expenses down, save and learn how to invest and get out of the rat hole. They'll suck your life away if you let them. Politicians are like parasites, that lives off the host, harming it and possibly causing death.

    There is a saying... I owe, I owe, so off to work I go. Stay out of "bad" debt. Learn about good debt. Learn the difference between the financial mindset of the poor, the middle class and the rich.

    Hatred. That's the problem. Most people find hatred unacceptable. Trump showers his audience with hateful rhetoric. He hates all the same people his supporters do. That's why they like him. Like I said on page one; Trump's popularity is driven purely by emotion. Bad, negative emotion. Waste of emotion.

    Man lemme tell you something:The right person in charge can change quite a bit.
    The last pres did quite a bit of change.The thing is there's not much hope now.
    He promised government transparency. :roflol:
    The "stimulus package" wtf? that's a taxpayer funded handout to elitist overlords
    "Green Energy" funds? Look here;I've seen 6500 acres of dead sorghum that was paid for by the gov't and nothing got done with.
    Furthermore the farmer had to pay to plow that garbage under.
    That's real life.Not fantasy land.

    Hatred lol.... and the left hates the rich. And you actually believe that "rich" politicians will legislate to hurt themselves? Ba ha ha

    Trump supporters have the common sense to know they are being screwed over but they should just keep their mouths shut right?

    No politician, no political party, no one, can make me feel bad about wanting to keep more of my money to take care of my family and to invest for my future so I am able to pay my way when I can no longer work. I don't give a damn what party it is.

    Any politician that promises to tax someone else I have sense enough to know there are not enough rich in this country to pay for everything they "say" they will do so they'll target me. I'm old enough to have seen this same playbook used over and over again. And here we are, 2016 and dust off the book and play it yet again. Different year, same tactic and each time it's played people fall for the lie because they hope someone else will do the hard work.

    Lmao. I know you're not this dim, so I'll just laugh at you. You don't embarrass easily either, which is actually admirable, but I'd have difficulty supporting such an unstable person as Trump without lying to myself. I guess you do it with ease. Whatever floats your boat. (PS: I'm more conservative than you'll ever be, so can the ridiculous name calling.)

    LOL ChiCowboy, you tried the "I'm conservative" tactic before. Then disappeared when someone called you on it.

    What about Obama and Hillary's failed foreign policies ?

    Compare the world Obama inherited in 2009 and today. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
