    Me too. Republican or Democrat, almost all, if not all professional politicians are low down corrupt scoundrels.

    "They gather, all the brands, at the self-referential festivals, like the April White House Correspondents Association dinner, whose buffet of “pre-parties” and “after-parties” now number more than two dozen– because a single banquet, it is clear, cannot properly celebrate the full achievements of the People Who Run Your Country. … The insider swarm has been known by various names: “Permanent Washington”. “The Political Class”. “The Chattering Class”. “The Usual Suspects”. “The Beltway Establishment”. “The Echo Chamber”. “The Echo System”. “The Gang of 500”. “The Gang 600”. “The Movable Mess”. “The Club”. Mark Leibovich, This Town, Penguin Books, 2013, p. 8.

    Um, not sure how to answer that. On this forum? On "Political Opinions and Beliefs?" I'm sure you will find it, my friend. It's entitled, "Who won the second debate?"

    Winning the second debate may have helped Trump do a little damage control within his own party but that is a far cry from winning the election.

    Thirty former Congressmen came out against Trump and a host of others. The problem for Trump as I see it is not that these folks will vote for Clinton. The problem is that these folks will just not vote.

    Your assessment is probably quite correct. It get worse by the day for Trump. Now he is at war with the Republican Party.

    Please see the OP entitled "Who won the second debate."

    It was only a matter of time that the real Trump would bust out. For a few weeks his arrogant, narcissistic persona was under a tight leash by his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. The egotistical Trump is not one to be subdued for long. His downfall came when that lewd video was released Friday that contained vulgar language as Trump bragged about what he could do to women because he was a star.

    Without his collar, otherwise known as a teleprompter, with the video as a backdrop Trump lashed out at Hillary in the second debate on Sunday. His performance provided red meat for his nativistic fans, but did little to attract women, fence sitters, and independents. Following the debate, Republican Senators, representatives, and governors left him in drove.

    That was all his narcissistic personality could handle. He entered a newly combustible phase of his campaign Tuesday as he declared himself unchained from Republican Party leaders and lashed out in all directions, even as his poll numbers continued to nosedive. Bloomberg reported, “Donald Trump goes full Trump and wages war against the Republican establishment, putting vulnerable GOP House and Senate candidates in a tricky spot.” Now that Trump has declared war on “disloyal” Republicans -- most notably House Speaker Paul Ryan -- GOP leaders and rank-and-file members are worried Trump could kill their party’s chances of keeping the House, despite a sizable majority in the lower chamber. The Senate appeared to be a casualty weeks ago.

    “My sense last week was that Republicans were on track to hold their losses in the House to under 10 seats,” Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman said in a phone interview, adding that the situation is deteriorating rapidly.

    Clearly, barring some tumultuous event, Trump is likely to lose the election. The only question is, will the carnage include the Senate and the House?

    Wow, were you wrong or what? I guess that "tumultuous event" turned out to be a corrupt person who was so dishonest her base abandoned her.

    The time of liberals/progressives/socialists has passed. The Democratic Party leadership is filled with old people who live in an echo chamber and have no clue what concerns flyover America. Watch for young people, as the old people in the Dem party die, to become even more socialist and make Dems into more of an extremest fringe group...
