    That makes no sense.

    Why would you support the more corrupt over the less corrupt party?

    It would make more sense to get rid of the worst, before getting rid of the second worst.

    If Trump mandated e-verify, would you call him a dictator?

    Isn't that sad?

    Shouldn't people vote for what they believe to be in the nation's best interest?

    I usually have voted but democratic but since they have nominated neoliberal warmongers like Clinton, Obama and HRC, smeared Tulsi and engaged in Russiaphobia I may never vote democratic again. They also have contempt for working people which Trump exploited.

    If you were a rational objective person, you would probably also vote Democratic, as do most rational objective people do.

    I am an educated rational objective person who saw the error of my democrat youth and became a Reagan conservative Republican long ago. On issues such as the courts, national defense, taxes, and the economy there is no rational reason to be a democrat. My first eligible vote was in California for proposition 13 in 1978.

    They’re not Republicans. Seriously.

    How are we going to pay for our healthcare system going forward other than taking healthcare away from people?

    How are we going cover fellow citizens with preexisting conditions without bankrupting them?

    When are we going to acknowledge stakeholders rather than shareholders when crafting public policy?

    When are going to acknowledge the vertical integration of our market is a failure?

    When are we going to acknowledge our tax cuts have been nothing more than a short term sugar rush and long term disaster? There are other ways to approach the issue.

    When are we going to acknowledge all citizens are equal under the law and practice it?

    No, it's a matter of bad timing. I have a CNS degree however 2 weeks after I graduated I became a full time care giver for my 85 year old Dad or put him in a home. I cherished my Father more than extra money. When he passed, it was too late for my schooling....it and I were simply too old. I took the job I have now because they hired me, I stay because they treat me like a real human being and I couldn't be happier. When I worked for the Armored Truck Company, we were treated like rented mules. I make more than the current top wage scale for that Armored Company and no one's going to try to kill me....again. BTW the 1990's were boom years and so did I.

    Reagan wasn't a conservative and more than Trump thinks he is. I voted for Reagan and he gave the illegals amnesty, wanted China to be categorized as a most favored nation to trade with and he pushed for chain migration, not to mention his illegal Drug War he intensified on the taxpayers and tried to blacklist entertainers over it, his laws violated civil rights along with his illegal arms shipments to Iran.
    I voted for him in 1980 and never did again.

    Maybe it should be but unfortunately it's not. In this world a majority of it's people think about themselves and rarely others.

    In this world there are those that give and help others. They don't expect government to do it at the point of a gun!

    Anyone who can't see that trump is the most corrupt person to ever sit in the WH simply has no grasp of the facts.

    I've yet to see people give and help others at the point of a gun; at least where I live. They do it because they want to do it.

    Why would anyone vote for a Democrat?

    Because they can.

    A Democrat getting elected right now and fulfilling their campaign promises ends America.

    If I was in the bottom 50% and I wanted more free goodies from government, the only choice would be to vote Democrat. Or maybe the Green Party.

    Which makes it all the more important for the young to make hay when they can - grow their skills, make good financial decisions, scrimp and save, build wealth, and invest for the future. Of course, many in the population simply want to play on their phones, smoke pot all day, and live at someone else's expense.
