    That’s a long winded way of saying tyranny by the minority.

    Eliminated taxes created by Obamacare, allowed individuals more choice with their healthcare coverage, which lower cost

    Obama did everything he could to stop the newly discovered fracking industry. Fortunately, he failed miserably and the results you so wisely gave us in graph form but WTF does oil production have to do with throwing money at a taxpayer funded government program that continues to fail regardless of how much cash is shovelled into the bureaucracy i.e. education.

    the conservatives individual mandate is gone without Trump Care

    it allowed stated to put the restrictions on them.... did not add choice, even allowed them to increase rates on the elderly and those with preexisting conditions for 12 months in some case

    why is the elderly charged more when the ins corps only have to pay 20%, Medicare pays the rest - we need to change Medicare to pay 100%, just add in some co-pays

    and medicare should cover dental and vision

    Until there is proof that illegals are voting in numbers enough to sway national elections you are just using conspiracy theories to justify the narrative.

    The decline of the right can be evidenced by how narrow the last republican elections were.

    Fracking has been around since 1960, but not in the US.. so they were pretty careless and sloppy when they first began fracking. Its important for the environment that they do it right.

    Republicans invented it - dems only added it to try and get conservative votes

    http://swampland.time.com/2010/02/16/health-care-republicans-oppose-their-own-idea/

    "In fact, says Len Nichols of the New America Foundation, the individual mandate was originally a Republican idea. “It was invented by Mark Pauly to give to George Bush Sr. back in the day, as a competition to the employer mandate focus of the Democrats at the time.”"

    Republicans also tried to push the individual mandate under Clinton...

    you keep taking me off topic... back to the topic of the farmers Trump is hurting

    Republicans had nothing to do with Obamacare they voted against it

    Chapter 12 bankrupties have fallen from 700 a month under Obama to 500 under trump nationally.

    They are only a "tough lot" because the tax payers have to support them. Take away the support and see what a "tough lot" they are.

    Fine. I say we cut all subsidies since they know how to run the farms so well. They do not need the help!

    Well yeah.. Trump called them stupid....

    ‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?” Donald Trump asked when Iowa polls showed him down. American presidents are judged by the words they say or write. President’s lives become American history subjects under scrutiny. The person who fills the position of the president of the United States is the most publicly visible person in our country and around the world.

    Where? Where has he built a foot of wall?

    Cheap labor can get a temporary work visa like they do everywhere else in the world.

    Cannabis isn't legal. This is why transactions are all in cash.
