What excites me most about the possibility of a Trump Presidency, a possibility that while not sure is looking more likely with every passing day, is how the Washington Bureaucratic establishment will take it. Like the IRS, will they audit Trump's returns?

What we need is a total seismic jolt similar to what Reagan did with the PATCO union members; fire the entire mess of them. Every last one gets let out to find a job in private industry for a change.

That all said it is a long, long time to November, 2016.

There's many different ways to fix problems and we are light years ahead of where we were in 2008 in terms of foreign policy, military effectiveness, and economy.

Grow up. It's not about you.
What a joke of a partisan post. The "other" party created the mess eh? Meanwhile it was the Clinton admin that singed in NAFTA, the China agreement and repealed Glass_Steagall. I would call that bipartisan, not the other party created it. Let's face it, it's the Globalist Progressives in both parties that created the mess and one got voted in twice to "try" and fix it, he didn't fix anything, made it ten times worse.

Next time, I pray America will vote for someone who has earned their way in life with intelligence and leadership skills. Hopefully, he will soon rejoin his Chicago "church" and become a forgotten part of history.
Being the editor of the Yale Law Review is more intellectual than anything anyone on the GOP side has done. As for leadership, he got health care reform passed -- something presidents have been trying to do for 70 years.

His formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor.You are right about grades, you aren't entitled to them.

What we do know is that Mr. Obama took honors course during his senior year. Colleges reserve those for their best students.

We know you liberals will say "But, but, but....what about George W. Bush!" I'll remind you that Barack Obama was hired on the premise of providing HOPE and CHANGING things to rid America of the Bush years.

Well, American's have said, repeatedly, for 6+ straight years that the country is on the wrong track under Barack Obama.

For the clueless, that means the HOPE and CHANGE thing ain't working out!

It would be funny if we weren't talking about the future of the United States of America.

One can go way back years before Carter, but Democrats had pretty wide control and the reality is interest and tax rates were out of control before Reagan took over and he fixed them.

Bush and Republicians had complete control for 6 years to fix problems from prior administrations, but they just sent us deeper down until Obama came in and fixed the mess.

Probably the least partisan post on here but I'm curious, if an economy that is growing and foreign military excursions kept under control but effective is bad, what do you consider a good president?

Those things you mentioned are free market ideals. I thought conservatives loved the free market?

The only thing Trump will fix is his business, anything else that people think will change will not happen.
We are on the right track with more changes needed.

He(Trump) has fooled many already.

Really? Obama was re-elected in 2012.

Never. We're all too busy posting on C-D.
