    I am a fiscal conservative, and a social liberal. Frankly, neither party adequately represents me very well.

    I went to Washington, and had The Capital tour, and got to meet our Senator briefly. I was in his office and Senator Cornyn asks me "Did you vote for me, and if so, why?" I answered him, "Yes, I voted for you. I voted for you because I think that I had a 90% chance that the Democrat would lie to my face, but only a 50% chance that the Republican would lie to my face, so I went with the better odds!". He just looked at me for a few seconds and then says "Well, it was nice to meet you."

    In that case I am sure the IRS will leave you alone. ;-)

    Had my run it with the DOL already this year. They changed rules two years ago regarding time clocks and start of pay cycle, etc. Of course, they never let you know that the rules, which had been in place for 20+ yrs. have changed, but they sure as hell do come around and fine you, for something that was OK two years ago, and infer that you are now somehow a bad employer. Gee, I wonder what that bonus money I give all the employees every holiday season makes me? Yeah, I must be a bad dude..... Forking government lawyer with his forking bun on his head never had to make payroll a day in his life, but looks down on me? Even though I pay on average 15% above market average? Go figure..

    Trump has just steamrolled the entire Republican establishment, their smear machine, their rigged rules, their $100 million in negative ads, their subservient 24/7 media... How tough do you think is Hillary going to be?

    Reduce overhead to cover the fine and harassment. Bonuses the workforce usually shrink fast after that kind of special attention.

    Well Trump is handicapped by a RPe campaign strategist now.

    It's really interesting how Dems and the media paints this picture that Hillary will destroy Trump "head to head" ...Hey Dems (knock knock)! ... does your side realize that people who probably haven't voted in years will make their vote count this time around? You people are witnessing (living) a dose of reality right now!

    The title doesn't differentiate and could refer to either.

    Why do I have to keep reminding people that it was decided by many Democrats on the forum long ago that Trump really isn't going to run for president and if he did he won't win one primary because he only has 4% of Republican vote.

    Why do so many Democrats now post that Trump can't win since they know that Trump isn't even going to run for president in the first place?:roflol:

    So they leave you pretty quick, do they?

    Trump can't win re-election in 2020. There's no chance of it. :smile:

    I'm still not certain Democrat bosses are willing to gamble on Clinton. It still could be a Biden-Warren ticket. But we'll see.

    This^^

    I've watched Hillary in the debates. She can't answer a question. Period. Bernie asked repeatedly if she would raise the SS tax limit and she couldn't give a straight answer. For 10 minutes!

    If Trump is the nominee, he will be headed for an historic defeat.

    Bill Kristol's people will put forward a 3rd party for the mainstream GOP, and Trump will be crushed.

    Wait...you're excited that Trump finally has HALF of Republicans behind him?

    Kind of a long road to anywhere from there.

    I'm much more concerned about how he is faring across the spectrum. Can he beat Hitlery, the now apparent (on the basis of propaganda turned reality) Demo(n)cratic favorite? I continue to hear lots of voices at each extreme, some claiming she has no chance while others seem quite confident that she'll win. I sense two strongly divided camps, in other words, who pay greater attention to their parties and those parties' messages than to reality.

    Check this out:

    Overall, Clinton tends to be favored over Trump. By quite a margin..

    When were they saying that then? What they were saying is that Trump was constantly flipping from Dem to Rep to Dem point of views. He is still doing it! His support comes from one agenda - immigration - sucking up to the racist votes.
