    So, it was an interesting read; for a while. Had some interesting points.

    Then I started laughing.

    A perfect storm of Liberal apathy and the Dems nominating a flawed candidate.

    The explanation is actually rather simple. :salute:

    Other than an anti Trumpist I'm not sure what you are. All I know is that you are a lot older than me and a military veteran.

    How are you going to feel if Mueller discovers Trump and his team did collude with Russia? Evidence is growing that collusion actually took place. Are you actually comfortable with that if it is demonstrated with compelling evidence that it is true?

    LoL now China is an enemy because they like Trump. Hahaha omg. Oh man.

    Let me guess, it was 37 liberal countries and countries that used to take advantage of us that are upset with Trump.

    25 years of what? She did nothing in 25 years except follow Bill around, line her pockets, do nothing as a senator, topple countries, and let our embassies get overrun.

    No it was more than that. She didn't think she'd win because people would vote for her, she thought the voters didn't matter.

    No, I'm afraid not. You'll notice I didn't defend Bush when he was brought up. Bush was a globalist just like Obama.

    I'm talking about 8 years of Obama's policies and the demonstrable lack of effect they had.

    Meanwhile, Trump takes a different approach, and in less than a year he's racking up great success.

    Why are we still asking questions about the election in 2016?

    We knew what happened and why 12 months ago.

    Sorry that apply to a criminal court case not the judging of a candidate for the senate or the white house for that matter.

    But he didn't "win". He was appointed/selected by the electoral college.

    The term is called "Winning".

    That applies to court trials. This is not a court trial and won't be. It's an ethics and morals question.

    Yup, winning by being appointed even without the popular vote.

    Trump isn't fit for the presidency. That's one thing Hillary was right about. And the right wants to know why the rest of us see him as stupid. Let's see a right defend his "intellect" in this case:




    Good lord he is soooo stupid! And incurious!

    So, Trump's fitness for the presidency is being appraised by you and Hillary Clinton? Your (both of you) only point of reference is whether someone is "democrat" or "republican" ..... "right" or "left". Wow! Great political insight! But maybe I am being unfair.

    Nope, I was completely right.

    That's undeniable.

    Even though Trump is an UNPREPARED IMBECILE, a MORON of the First Order, a Paragon of Human STUPIDITY, and an Unapologetic RACIST, MISOGYNIST, P-Grabber (and was put in office due to the most EGREGIOUS MISTAKE in America's 200+ year History)...

    ...He "won" and he occupies 1600 Penn. Ave

    It is what it is.

    For the 3/4ths of America that despises him (250+ Million hard working citizens), Trump is a TRAGIC NATIONAL DISGRACE.

    Sad, but true. :salute:

    He is obviously UNFIT.

    "Trump's UNFIT for POTUS" is a "1+1=2" kind of statement.

    And, as we speak, there are 250 Million+ Americans (who don't support him) living through the HELL of this UNPREPARED IMBECILE (who has made the USA Worldwide Laughing Stock).

    Tragic. :salute:

    Give it another year.........

    Call for the crash cart, Obama Care is code blue! Don't think this won't hurt the Democrats in 2018. The red counties will have to pay the fines. The yellow counties can expect huge increases in their premiums. The Democrats won't be taking the House or the Senate any time soon.

    The electoral college was put in place to prevent one party from saturating small areas with freebies and handouts, winning because they are the party of Santa Claus. It did what it was supposed to.

    I posted the above in October of 2016. A full 45% of Sanders voters in the primary (13 million) said they'd never vote for Hillary. Guess that was true.
