    The opposite of love is indifference, not hate.

    The word is "extreme" (you know, like in "extreme vetting"). You have emotional feelings for a politician, and are trying to project that on to me. That's dishonest.

    I can't hate someone I don't even know. I never hated a US politician. My life isn't that empty. My emotions are used on people who I know and are a part of my tangible life. I'm not a groupie.

    You can lie to yourself but you cant fool me

    You will not rest till trump is out of office and you will not support anything he does while in office

    And you will attack him personally along will all the other emotionally wounded liberals who hate the man himself

    I supported a lot of what the man his done. His cabinet. His VP pick. His choice for SCOTUS. But why be honest when you can lie, right?

    You love the man. I don't. I don't care for frauds and lifelong Liberals who change in order to appeal to anger. You do. That's your right. It's also my right not to be a Trump devotee.

    I haven't attacked him personally. I can't attack someone personally that I don't know and never met. You are confusing me with yourself.

    I'll dig you up when everyone posts "Hillary!" or "Obama!" in threads about Trump. You can wag your finger at them and say "This thread has nothing to do with Hillary!", but I'll go out on a limb here and say that you won't. That would require honesty. Honesty is in short supply in Trump Fan Nation.

    Yep, a CEO for 37 years makes him daft. Now, if he was a community organizer instead...

    I never supported Obama, so can you explain to me what you're on about?

    CEO's fail constantly. Look at 2008. CEO and daft are not mutually exclusive. Trump steaks being one brand that was a flat footed fraud, and a total failure.

    Trump -is- a daft moron.

    Oh no, look what you did. You brought up Obama. Be careful! @Russ103 will have to tell you this thread has nothing to do with him.

    Won't happen. I told you, all Hoosier has is the same tired old regurgitated "you mean like" commentary.

    You nailed it.

    What the uninformed can't grasp, is that Flake ran on one message, and then when he took office, totally changed his positions.

    For example:

    http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a16328/jeff-flake-arizona-senate-race-2012-1112/

    "You run on a platform, you say, 'This is what I stand for,' and then you go back and you vote your conscience."
    ​
    What people didn't understand, is that this line from him was actually more accurate than they thought. He ran on a platform claiming "this is what I stand for", just to get elected, and then went to Washington, and voted how he actually believed.

    That deception is exactly why he didn't stand a chance for re-election.

    I knew that would push your button

    And yes I know the liberal pollsters do not support that claim

    The partisan libs say trump approval is only around 38%

    But we have a working majority of voters and thats what counts

    Majority of voters? You mean a gamey system that enables a minority to elect the leader for the majority.

    Don't worry. We all know support for POTUS is crumbling.

    Look at the CEO of Equifax. Or the CEO of Enron. Or the CEO of WorldCom. I guess if you're a CEO you're automatically awesome.

    Of course, I just mentioned companies and not self-employed CEOs. I'd love to know what Trump's balance sheets really look like. But we'll never know.

    I'll miss Jeff Flake when he leaves the Senate. I wonder how well his conspiracy theorist replacement candidate will fare next year.

    It's simply idol worship. The same plebes that claim to be god fearing Christians idolize the mighty dollar. Affluentsexuals and their nonsensical talking points, and all that.

    Two faced, deceitful politicians need to be purged from Washington. Let the chips fall where they may.

    The electoral college in 2016 would be your “link”. So, more then half the country actually.
