For all of Trump's faults, he still knows who should go into a women's restroom and who should go into a men's restroom.


Today's extremist Democrats can't even grasp that simple concept.

There are still a few local moderate Republicans that I will vote for, and fortunately they have all publicly denounced Trump.

For those who blame the GOP for all bad. The democrats have been caught breaking their share of laws. Jessie Jackson's son if I am not mistaken.
Charles Rangel caught committing tax fraud.
Who was the guy caught with a freezer full of cash?
20 trillion in debt. It wasn't only republicans doing the pork spending, voting for wasteful federal programs etc.
For those who actually care, visit Citizens against Government waste.
I think it was on radio (but might have been TV) within the last 48 hours or so, a commentator was mentioning some of the things that the U.S. Department of State spent taxpayer's money on (and I realize ridiculous waste is not just a Democrat thing) while Hillary was SOS. For some reason two items stuck out in my mind.

1. Just over $600,000.00 to increase the number of Facebook likes on 4 different Department of State web pages .

2. Just over $80,000.00 (IIRC) to buy however many copies of books written by a well known individual....Barack Obama .

I think you really have to consider voting Democrat across the board at this point. Anything Right of Center has shown themselves to be essentially unreliable. Maybe the ones that have denounced Trump could be in consideration?

To answer the thread title question .. the answer is absolutely NO. There is one I would consider not voting for .. he is a Rino at best .. but I suspect that I will pull the lever for him (holding my nose) anyway.


Can't participate in the poll though because it (like too many) seems to have been written by a 2 year old and makes no sense to me.

In an underhanded move, one of the Democratic candidates here has been posting signs that look like the Republican state assembly candidate is supporting Trump, even though the Republican candidate has repeatedly refused to support Trump.

It looks like it came from the Republican candidate, until you examine the fine print at the bottom of the sign, where it notes that the sign was paid for by the Democratic campaign. Now the Republican candidate has had to send out flyers and go to local newspapers to reaffirm his rejection of Trump.

It just goes to show you how toxic Trump's name is here. Hopefully, the Republican is also doing it because he prioritizes his own values over the interests of a national party that has lost its way.

Sorry, rigged poll. Couldn't participate.

But, had the choice been there, I would have checked the box - Hell no, the GOP is our only hope for saving our Constitutional Republic.
