Personally, I have a paid for roof over my head, food in the fridge, a little $$$ in the bank, and real friends. Works for me.
I've often thought that the guy is miserable. Filled with self loathing that he then projects onto everyone around him. Are we surprised that being raised in an environment of pure hedonistic materialism produces a man like this? Sounds like his father was sadistic and cold, we all know that the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Trump has been insulting his way through his campaign. He's been using very strong words and tells about his crowd sizes. He is a novelty. It got people excited for a few months. I suspect most people are tired of him.
If people are tired of him, why is he still hanging in there: ahead in a few polls, statistically tied in a few and slightly behind in others. Maybe some are tired of him, even have been for a long time but we are left with no good options. I would rather take a chance on him than see Clinton in there. The few ideas she has will cost the American people big bucks, and that is if she could get them passed. Then we have the supreme court to worry about. OMG, what a mess she could make out of that. The next president will be nominating at least 2 and maybe more. Of course then if the house will not work with her, we may end up with only 6 or 7 on the bench. There is not one good thing that can come out of a Hillary election in my opinion. What do you have say about that?

In politics, when your corrupt candidate has an abysmal record to run on, make the election a personality contest.

Here comes more deflection from the old hag's blind supporters.
This is truly amazing. You say that the media reporting the truth, and backing it up with video proof that it's truth is a deflection against the charge of media bias, and in the same breath you go on to say that all the lies and stories about Hillary's so-called curruption, that can't be proven, not even by (what is the count now, 9?) motivated witch-hunt squads, are accurate? Hillary has a long record of accomplisments, and when she's not having to defend against Trump lies (you guys call that "attack", when she calls him out on his lies about her), she talks about substance and policy.

It is absolutely baffling how Trump Supporters can just spout crap that is so blatently not true, and then ignore facts.

Disagreeing with Hillary's position on things is totally legit.
Saying she doesn't have one, or that charges that have not had legs indicates curruption is just crazy-talk.

Absolutely stunning, the level of delusion that some Trump supporters have.

Hate to say I told you so, but this "movement" has been emerging since the 70's and 80's. At first it was just a few deluded people that fell into the talk-radio cult, but today this has grown - now a good portion of the electorate no longer has the ability to discern between propaganda and truth. This is how autocrats and dictators manage to worm their way into power, it's nothing new. The only thing new is that today's technologies can greatly accelerate the spread of fanaticism.

Honestly, how does one get to be 70 years old and have so little support besides strangers that insist he didn't break the law?
where in the heck did you come up with Pence refusing to support him. The one big criticism the press had, especially the liberal press about Pence's performance at the debate was his supporting and defending Trump. Maybe you were watching you own private debate or maybe you were not watching at all, just getting your views from FB?

For those who seriously contemplate the meaning of their vote, novelty has nothing to do w/ it.

If you want novelty go to Toys R Us

Hillary has always been grannies wallpaper fading and falling off the wall.

What is really happening and the left refuses to acknowledge is industries are gone and more are going including coal.

Fact is we grew strong as a nation when we were the strength of the industrial revolution. Now we outsource the jobs and the welfare lines continue to grow. It is getting noticeably worse. Many people can't find jobs and the cost of living is going up. Many people dropped out of the work force. Millions and millions don't have a job today.

That's funny, because I thought the Clinton novelty wore out WAY before 2000 when those scumbags packed up and stole stuff when they left the white house.

Come on. First Donnie was TOTALLY pro-choice including partial birth abortion, from that he went to punishing all women that had abortions, from there he went to not punishing women. He went from praising Hillary Clinton to demonizing Hillary Clinton. He went from . . well - you get the picture.

Pence just sat there and denied everything that Trump actually said! It's like he forgot Trump was his running mate. He did NOT defend; he denied what were true statement made by Trup.

And you think Trump is going to bring that back, do you? As long as we keep fracking, there will be a reduced demand for coal.


Are you also going to stop automation? Because more and more jobs of ALL of us - will continue evolving into robotic, automated jobs.


What then?


We have to keep looking forward - forward past coal. This is our new reality and NOT just for manufacturing.
