[quote=Grumpy ol' Man;45435416]Only a democrat could conclude that Trump admires Russia's system. /QUOTE]

You are fooling yourself. Trump really DOES admire Putin and Kim Jong-un. He could care less about the system, that is really not important to him. When you look back at dictators like Stalin and Hitler, it was not that they were such stalwart believers in communism and fascism - it was their love of power that made them the most detested figures in modern history. That is what motivates Trump; the pursuit of power and wealth. He admires those that have achieved it, no matter what the cost or how evil the system is that they created to maintain it.

Republican comments exemplify what is wrong in America, "It's the existence of Current Day Republican Mentality" !!!!!!
Here they are praising Putin and still attacking President Obama... then they want to call other people communist and other such tripped out names. They blatantly lie and deny the works done by President Obama, and they never mention the crazy madness of the block and tackle mentality and actions of the Republican System.
if you note they selectively avoid anything even remotely close to blaming Bush for the madness of War and his Administrations failure which encompassed a crashed economy and a destabilized Middle East and the escalated rise of Terrorism, and they won't even acknowledge that ISIS said, they never would have formed or been able to form if it had not been for the Prison Camps set up by the Bush Administration.

There is one insane enough to post a comment stating let the auto industry fail. That is the most pathetic comment, that is so beyond belief, that such a person has no idea of the depth and scope of the supply chain and how it is integrated into the prospering of this economy and the nations economic function.
Remember these are the same people who are against "environmental concerns', and likely it is Republican mentality behind wanting to run a pipeling under a body of water that the Indian's rely on for their homelands. These are the same mentality who, fought the EPA in Florida and supported the Sugar Industry, then when the sugar industry polluted the area and algae took over, suddenly, its the same Republican who want the American Government and Taxpayer to come and fix the problem for them.

There is some mental flaws that drives people to be and become and remain obsessed with the ideology of the current day Republican mindset.

I'd rather make friends I didn't have to buy.

Then make enemies, I have to buy off to keep from causing trouble.

Is it possible that your experience living in the other, corrupt system has tainted your judgement and motives? Living under such corruption can be catching...
The truth shall set you free..!!
GO TRUMP 2016
Trump has said he admires Putin and so have YOU!

To say he is a strong leader and call him better than our POTUS is admiring him, kissing his butt, and fawning over a communist who seeks to undo all of Reagan and Thatcher's work and restore the Soviet Union. You've both done it! Him on national television, and you on this board.

And now " the truth shall set you free" Trump is now a Messiah of some sort? Get a grip dude.

You still have a problem with your reading comprehension. We admire his strength as a leader, we don't admire his system, BIG difference, but you are in such a hurry to attempt to get an edge,. you can let the facts penetrate the thick skull. That is a trait of most democrats so don't feel too badly.
In truth, it wasn't a fair comparison, Putin to weak, effeminate, candy azz, worthless POS obama. Absolutely nothing about obama says leadership. obama was the first woman president, and he has done his best to destroy America, the America that he hates...
The only fawning going on around here are by the ignorant supporters of crooked hillary, the lying, stealing, murdering biotch... might I add, old, tired, sick, dying. If there is a bad adjective, she qualifies.. LOCK HER UP..!!
There is still time to wake up and vote for Trump, he is the winner, and therefore America wins... including you. You are going to love him when he makes America great again....

The media and others are trying to make it out to be something that it's not.

We have seen Obama betray and criticize Americans recently in Laos. We have seen Obama refer to the GOP as enemies and equate them with terrorist.

Putin has never done that in his own country nor does he go around the word saying things like that about his people. Putin doesn't go around the world apologizing for Russia either. Obama does.

Putin is a thug who does a lot of bad stuff and is said to kill people that oppose him and put them in jail too. He is no friend of America but that doesn't mean he is a weak leader.

I wonder how he would do on the streets of Chicago. It would be interesting to put Obama and Putin on the streets of Chicago at the same time and see how long they last before they are part of the statistics. Maybe one would rise to top and be a leader. I wouldn't put any money on Obama.
Putin runs a country that 1998 (in much better times) defaulted on its debt. Starting in 2014, the ruble collapsed under sanctions that continue to this day. Yet Putin (and his alleged cronies) managed not only to keep the economy afloat but spend on the military to defend from NATO encroachment, make Russia the world's largest wheat exporter when a decade ago it was importer, have US private equity managers say that the Russian Stock Exchange is wholly undervalued, and keep a lid on terrorism in a country that is multi-ethnic. And doing all that while the price of oil, one of the country's main revenue earners is at historic lows. Seems like a pretty good accomplishment.

Remind me, what did the Community Organizer in Chief due?

Think the OP missed the point of the US political system and how it was setup... the strength of the US is not judged by the strength of the president or any of the 3 branches individually...

The president being "weaker" than a foreign government that can do whatever it wants isn't exactly a "bad" thing.

Was Bush a good leader for invading Iraq? Is Putin a strong leader because he invaded Ukraine?
