Yup, I have been saying for months that GOP picked one of the only nominees (Cruz being the other) that Hillary can beat. Rubio and Kasich could have easily won. Thank you guys!

The GOP will have to purge itself of the crazies before they will be able to nominate a sensible nominee. Not sure that's going to be an easy task.

The GOP did not want Trump. The voters put him in.

The simpleton "ban em all"/"blow em all to hell" mentality does not work. You cannot defeat an idea with a bomb or a bullet. That's counter-insurgency 101. Unfortunately the Trupians still subscribe to that horrid urban legend about Pershing and the bullets dipped in pig's fat
bull****. You can't blame others for what what radical Muslims do. They chose to be part of that savagery

Gary Johnson? Nope - he's as uninformed as Trump.


I'm wondering if the democrats are ever going to lose another national election. The demographics and everything else are all favorable. I guess it's possible that once the economy finally starts crashing, the dems could lose power. But who knows how long that is going to be.
you're giving up because you hear the 'chatter' that is convincing everyone that hillary is way ahead in the polls and its hopeless. They want to break your spirit. If you stay strong to the message that Trump is actually one of the best and least corrupt candidates we've had in a long time, you can fight the good fight all the way and at least hold your head high if you lose.

If you keep hearing about miss piggy and legally filed tax returns, that should signal to you that they don't have much to go on, if trump was really a bad person you would hear a lot of bad things, but instead, you hear about miss piggy from 20 years ago and its something there's no proof he even said, its a getaway car driver's word against his.

stay the course.

He can't get through the barrage of false attacks because too many people don't understand money and taxes. Too many are willing to allow criminals in and us working class are going to be expected to pay for their food, housing etc.

One thing is good, when they are living among them and they try to take over their turf, and there are more gang wars they can thank themselves for that.

Of course you are correct^^^^ However, even though the TDS sufferers know this, they have no legitimate arguments to make so they deliberately either twist words or take things out of context.
