Sanders was able to get the first-ever audit of funds given out by the Federal Reserve, which made transparent over $2 trillion of funds handed out by the secretive organization. This was a cause that Republican congressman Ron Paul (TX) had been pursuing for decades, but Sanders was able to get the votes to do it by forging a compromise that required an audit for the bailout period alone.

Trump said Americans make too much money. Better go with Sanders.

This is what Hillary, Rubio, Jeb!, and even some Cruz fans are not getting. You can write smarmy little posts, you can sneer and attack those who are supporting Trump or Sanders, and you have been told time and again that no matter what you say, it's not going to sway any of them. The reason is right there, in those videos.

You, who hate Trump and hate Sanders, you and your attacks, mocking, snide comments, insults, etc will never, EVER be more powerful than the anger that so many Americans are feeling right now.

Once you fools understand that, THEN and only then, will you have a chance in hell of explaining why your candidate is better for those angry people. Attacking an already angry person will backfire on you....as it does every. single. time. someone tries to attack Trump or Sanders.

You call Trump and Sanders supporters idiots, yet not a one of you who hate Trump and Sanders has figured it out in the MONTHS that you've been told WHY the two are so popular.

Do you fricken get it now?


Very well said.

Default Trumps most solid speech yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Vgh3V75CY



To those like Bucfan who keep saying Trump is uncontrollable and doesn't have a plane to improve the economy listen to this

speech he gives.


Pass all the Pope stuff at the beginning if you want to get to the heart of it.

Now that's the way I want a president to talk. Not only on content but clear with no misunderstanding on what he's saying.

"GO TRUMP" or live in a third world dump

Where is the part where he's reading off a piece of paper in a response to the Pope? Sounded like a 4th grader trying to read a book report to the class and having a hard time pronouncing all the words Graduated from Wharton Business School? My ass.

He did awesome. He has evolved so much and looks SO Presidential.

I think where Trump is strongest is on jobs. I haven't heard anyone else addressing that except for Bernie and he wants something like the program during the depression and although that would be nice, we cannot generate the taxes anymore to pay for a program since the infrastructure is so involved now.

See the companies go: Dozens of Businesses Move HQs Outside America Under Obama - Breitbart
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...o-dodge-taxes/ (ABBV), Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) - 5 Companies That Have Moved Overseas For Lower Taxes | Benzinga

And, then you have the illegal aliens taking jobs. http://cis.org/are-there-really-jobs-americans-wont-do

Trump strongest issue is "jobs". Without "jobs", we have nothing.

Trump uses the phrase "to be honest with you" a lot.

It leads me to believe he's being dishonest unless he uses that qualifer........
