No such thing. You pay for it one way or another.

Of course you do. It's just people have bought into the promise that's it's going to be free.

You already are- How will Trump make it better? UNless talking and acting like a boozed up 8th grader seeing his first bikini will make america great again! But then again, life will be better for all those Trumpers that go to family reunions to check out the talent

Who do you think could beat her in 2020, and why?

And...this isnt just open to Republicans, could she be primaries, or would the DNC block that idea?
Do you think that in four years a viable 3rd party could arise? That is really what we need. And a 4th.

Depends. If the GOP civil war gets big enough I could see them breaking into separate groups, with a far right, and a more centrist one. Or if the Democrats get into it with Sanders he could drive a third party that would be viewed as the far left.

Why would you think that? There are no facts to back this up. If Trump loses to Hillary, its not because Republicans are "dead." Its because Trump is a polarizing candidate that many Republicans hate. Its too bad someone like Rubio wasn't nominated, I think he could have easily beat Hillary.

A sock puppet would beat Hillary in 2020.

Why?

1. The stock market will be lower

2. incomes will continue to decline

3. poverty rates will be higher

4. work force participation will shrink

5. taxes will be higher

6. more people on food stamps

7. with Hillary's support for Pac-Rim, more exported jobs

8. Continued open borders

9. No rule of law, with the DOJ and the FBI allowing Bill and Hillary to do what they want

10. Two liberal Supreme Court Justices- anything goes

11. Further record lows in home ownership

12. more Hillary wars- she supported 2 and started 4



When the US starts to look like Mexico, finally people will wake up. Either liberalism will be defeated in elections, or states will leave the union.

Left politics is a growth industry. People are increasingly ready to be led. Collectivism is winning. I'm not the first person to point this out!

Nobody could "easily" have beaten Hillary.
