As long as the economy is good, it's not crazy to think people will vote for Trump. Take your politics out of it and think of what truly motivates the average citizen, their own well-being. Not everyone is a political loon leaning one way or the other.And the right thinks they can run Trump again. "Nuff said. Which side looks craziest?
The response to Trump was predictable and expected. I'm still surprised it wasn't worse. Most surprising of all are the 36 percenters that have continued their worship. I would have thought that would be a max of around 10%.
I could shoot a guy in times Square...........
Objective journalism is dead. The sad thing is most people don't realize it.I would just like to take a moment and personally thank Obama for green lighting the ability of the MSM to go all out propaganda wars on the American people.
That spectacular stroke of the pen has created our current virulent my side/your side political environment and pushed political divisions out into the open for all to view.
Trump’s tweets are a laser pointer.
Pretty useful tool in this political climate
You wouldn't understand objectiveness if it bit you in the ass. You are in no way objective yourself. All ways screaming "whataboutism". That's the cheap way of saying "I don't want to discuss the bad things my side did while in office that I never expressed outrage over because that would counter my argument of being morally outraged instead of politically outraged!" I've always maintained Trump is an *******. I've always maintained he is of despicable character. Where we disagree is you have allowed your rage to blind you to the fact he's not that different than other Presidents. He may lack the polish and be uncouth, but he's just more of the same **** we've had for the last couple of decades. He's Clinton without the charisma. Do I want better for this country? Absolutely. But better is not on the horizon, just more of the same **** no matter who takes the Oval Office. But instead of owning up to that reality, you want to bitch and moan about Trump, and when people don't agree with your narrative, they're deemed Trumpers and not objective. You're piling up the bull **** and expecting us to jump in with you.
You want objectivity? We are suffering a severe shortage of people fit to lead this nation, and not just at the Presidential level. We live in a world where our candidates on both sides put party and personal gain over constituents and country. That is reality. But people only choose to bitch about the other side. And then they have the gall to talk about unity while doing nothing but furthering the division. Some of you need to wake the **** up and stop being sheep to a corrupt political system.
Side note, it's funny to me how people bitch about the President, whoever it may be, when that person can only serve two terms, yet support members of Congress that have been there for decades. You really think the President is the threat to the country? The power is in Congress where you can spend a lifetime making deals and collecting power.
Both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders would trounce Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup, a new SurveyUSA poll foundThe really odd thing here when you step back from frothing at the mouth about Trump is the expectations of him changing once he became president like that is some magical moment when a mysterious evolution was to take place . He ran as an agitator , he got elected because he agitated the status quo at a time when people were past the point of being fed up with elitists and the establishment . Nobody said you have to like it or condone it but you do have to find a way through it , that’s just the facts . The question is ... will the Dems do what it takes to beat Trump in an election , the solution is easy but the medicine is bitter . The easiest way for Dems to beat Trump in an election is to have a calm , rational centrist run against him and you’ll win it easily . That’s why Biden even with all his goofy misspeaks , being an old white privileged male still leads the party , he’s the closest thing you have to a centrist and the poll numbers show that’s what people want .
But he wasn't removed from office. If screwing your intern and lying about it under oath(and asking her to lie about it under oath) does not reach the level of removal from office, what about Trump does? Was it a tasteless post? Of course it was a tasteless post. We're talking about Trump here. But based on the past, it does not rise to the level of removal from office. The left is having conniptions over Trump because he's an *******, but instead of keeping a steady focus, building an actual platform for the constituency, and working on providing a better candidate in 2020, they've gone off the deep end trying countless ways to impede his presidency and remove him from office, and failing miserably at the latter. The left talks about Trump and his ridiculousness, but they completely ignore that they've sunk to that level of ridiculousness as well. Then they try to justify that behavior because Trump. It's insane and idiotic. It's like the Wizard of Oz, don't look behind the curtain!
So now, we're left with candidates, many trying to push a far left agenda, that are really no better than Trump. So all the bitching about Trump, and the left still cannot put up a good candidate. Think about all of that wasted time chasing Trump. How can you not see how they've ****ed this up?
The problem with the left is they think they can get by with the sheep vote. They don't care about substance, they think the D next to the name is enough. I'm not opposed to voting Democrat, but you've got to give me a better reason than "but Trump".
I think it's funny that Republicans are outraged when some guy kneels on a football field (to the point of getting it banned) but Trump can laugh about Latinos getting shot (right before a mass murder) and that is perfectly acceptable.
All the Presidents do it, apparently.
Now, our President of the USA is agreeing that a previous President killed a person. It's just perfectly normal behavior. Why, I'm sure they all did this too.
Yes, I believe there is a better candidate than this running for President.
All of them.
