We're now at the point in our race to the bottom that we say "well, Clinton got a beej from an intern, so what's it matter if the new president is rawdogging porn stars?"
I did not care about Bill's bj while in office, heck if I was married to Hillary I would have done the same. Now the rape accusations against Bill do bother me and his lying to the people under oath bothered me a lot, and I do not care about what Trump did in his personal life before he was president, I care about how our country is going down the toilet and Bush, Obama and Hillary flushed us to be there.

Me either. I'm more concerned with how he ran his businesses which, when he was involved in the decision making, was into bankruptcy.

But that was a "financial maneuver" as he told us.

Voting is for rubes. It's an illusion of choice. Giving someone the authority to rule over you.

Tariffs are authorized by the Constitution. That's how the Federal Government got revenue prior to the income tax.

They're the next step after prices get pushed upward artificially by the tariffs.

Richard Nixon, the closest thing we've had to Donald Trump in the White House before last year, implemented price controls and kicked off the 1970s stagflation. That's exactly where this is heading.

When Trump screws up, he doesn't back down - he doubles down.

He is buddy pals with leader s who lock up their competition ,and assassinate and rob their rivals- --even if it s their own mother.

What s in tuitive about that ? That s a skill set of 0.0.
Watch CNN much? I don't need you to give me those false arguments ...all I have to do is turn on CNN or MSNBC to hear that garbage.

Which president doubled the national debt in eight years? Were you screaming about that?

Count the number of hotels and golf resorts Trump has built. Doesn't look like failure to me.

I think you're just a bit of a partisan, sore loser.

On Nov 8 2016, I voted for Hillary. However, seeing how I feel things are panning out... Today in 2018, I'd say I voted against Trump. It didn't change my vote, but it did change my purpose.

Generally speaking, I vote "for candidates" but there are times when I...uh... I don't know what the term is... politically sandbag? I don't like my US House Rep. I'll vote against him in his primary (open primary in my state). And if that fails, I'll vote against him in the general election. Why? F*** him.

I voted for Gary Johnson despite his issues, which was effectively a vote against both Trump and Clinton. But then there never really is a perfect candidate.

I voted for Hilary. We know that Trump is a liar, time bomb, corrupt, pending lawsuits for his various business dealings and unfit for any political office.

I would have voted for Bernie against Hilary though. I listen to his podcast every now and then.

Let me preface this with saying, I voted for Hillary - but many Trump voters would say:

Well, at least she held some political office, so she had that going for (or against?) her.
