    I also do believe that his bombing of Syria will turn out good over the long run.......
    it will not necessarily lead to regime change.

    It may take the Democratic Party 4, 8 or even 12 year but when they
    do come back, it will be a "New Party". The Liberal elitist will be
    retired by the likes of someone such as Jimmy Carter.
    The denial of a peace candidate in '68 and party corruption aided
    the NIXON victory as certainly as Trump was similarly helped by
    Hillaryite corrupting the DNC and Democratic Party functions.

    Jimmy Carter, good man, bad timing.
    And he had no Party support.
    A jealous Teddy Kennedy in the Senate and other Liberal elitist
    sabotaged the Carter Presidency.

    Well said..... I actually know of several people who
    are capable of restoring the Democratic Party before 2020
    just to make it more interesting for President Trump.

    Nominations for potential leaders for the Democratic Party.

    Who?
    I do not see anyone on the horizon.

    Does anyone know who Bernie's favorite Democrat is?

    I personally consider Bernie to be very interesting indeed.......
    imagine Bernie doing an interview or full fledged documentary with Dr. Ben Carson......

    Dr. Ben gets Bernie to try out a substance that in Dr. Carson's friend
    Dr. Rayburn Goen had some amazing results from the time that Dr. Goen
    was 85 until he was 87.

    Then Bernie....... becomes relatively the image of vitality and energy
    at his age........
    and tries to get everybody in America onto various low cost
    nutritional products that could alter the healthy plus longevity formula......

    Young people would love this because they would know that that would be
    a great way to reduce the power of Big Pharma......

    Why would Dr. Ben Carson make such claims?

    .....

    The New Nutrition Paradigm


    by Rayburne W Goen, MD, FACP, FACC.
    December 21, 2001
    Bernie is only 76...... his hyping a new way toward health and longevity could make him quite viable even in 2020.

    Oh... those nutritional sugars that Dr. Ben believes in cannot be patented in their isolated form....... so it should be able to make them available at a surprising low cost in comparison to the version that Dr. Ben used as a nutritional supplement to his own prostate cancer treatments.

    Bernie was nearly, too old in 2016 and will definitely be too old in 2020.
    Reagan was a bit shy of 70 when he became president but his biological clock seemed to be running relatively slower than Bernie who is now 75.

    Who is Bernie's favorite Democrat? That is the question.

    OH, he's working on it.
    Screwing with Lil Kim in N Korea, saying we won't abide by multi-national treaty with Iran - even tho Iran is complying with the treaty - because it has "Obama cooties" on it - kissing Edogan's and Putin's butts, encouraging ultra-nationalism in Europe...
    Basically playing Russian Roulette with an automatic pistol instead of a revolver....

    I have to admit that you are probably correct......
    he is pretty old but........ longevity combined with
    health is kind of fascinating and surely many Americans could be
    taught something useful if Bernie did go in that direction.

    Bernie vs BigPharma.......
    I love it......
    then..... you got it.... Bernie passes the baton!

    But soon an even greater accomplishment as he eliminates health insurance for millions while making it impossible for those with preexisting conditions to buy insurance at a reasonable price.

    Really, and exactly what behaviors did Russia change as a result of Trump putting his foot down? About the only foot I have seen is the one going up as Trump decided to not consider China a currency manipulator as a result of which decision China did basically nothing to help with North Korea. The great deal maker has so far not one significan deal to his presidency. A few executive orders is about the limit of his accomplishments.

    "We are patronized by our inferiors"....rather patronizing and in my opinion seems an inferior comment.

    Could you give us some examples of both? that is, some groups that don't believe in Freedom of Thought but were backed by Obama/Clinton and some of Trump's more libertarian people.

    Well, that sort of depends, doesn't it.
    A lot of what Trump has done recently scares the crap out of just about anyone sane, not just Washingtonians
    You cons put this out a lot, this idea that Trump is hated by so many people you dislike that he must be right, but that's not always the case. Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin and Pol Pot were hated by millions and they were correct to do so. Some people, (like Trump IMO) are hated because they are compleat bastards, everybody hates them, and they should.

    Dannion Brinkley was hit by lightning and his IQ certainly went up as a result of his brush with death.

    This interview is very funny as well as interesting.....

    President Putin is in a different position than you and I can understand.

    Tensions with the USA are good for Putin because this probably tends to
    convince the other 21 or 22 Russian Plutocrats that...... they had better keep Putin around
    because he is a better ambassador to the world than any of them would be......... and the other 21 Plutocrats might not like them..... as much as Putin......... so Putin being in power could delay a serious division between Russia's major financial leaders.

    Putin's behavior toward the USA is actually quite logical, considering his circumstances.

    U.S. admits record number of Muslim refugees in 2016

    .......

    Now with President Trump and his team in power it will soon be possible for some of the surviving Yazidi and Christian refugees to be taken in by Canada and the USA.

    How is Trump not a part of elitism?

    Definition of elitism
    1. 1: leadership or rule by an elite

    2. 2: the selectivity of the elite; especially : snobbery elitism in choosing new members

    3. 3: consciousness of being or belonging to an elite

    When an untruth is blatant and extremely obvious, critical thinking should make it very clear....this however does not seem to be happening and it is disturbing to watch.

    He unified a group of people who felt that their worries and concerns would be ignored by most elected officials.

    He certainly got himself some brownie points with a large number of common folk with
    this promise.

    Do you think that Hillary would have done anything significant to improve Federal Reserve policy?

    Hillary was not trusted to tackle much of anything significant........
    Americans, in my opinion accurately felt that electing Hillary would mean another four to eight years of all that President Obama was doing.
