Well, if we vote for the billionaire class, we get the preferred policies of the billionaire class.
This means legalized bribery in politics on a massive scale. How else can the top 0.1% manage to rule over the 99.9%? In a democratic system, thats not possible. Only in an oligarchic system is it possible. Legalized bribery is at the CORE of this rigged system and huge numbers of puppets, lobbyists and special interests are needed in DC to ensure that it stays that way.
On the other hand, we have straight shooters like Bernie Sanders who for more than 30 years have actually fought all the special interests and big money donors that rig the economy against ordinary Americans. We had a choice and the choice was the ruling billionaire class. Now we must pay the consequences.
With each passing day it's becoming more obvious that Trump's campaign was a huge sham. The swamp is not being drained. He's an actor who has found a new role as part-time Mr. President while he runs his personal businesses. I hope he can prove me wrong on that.
Maybe when he actually takes the office of the Presidency.....
I'd say draining the swamp would be a monumental task, best done in incremental steps over time. Probably not possible for someone who has been president elect for exactly 13 days.
Really OP? So you think that all of the insiders Trump bashed in his campaign using the term drain the swamp are not going to act like little children and follow daddy?
The insiders Trump is adding to his administration are those Trump considers transitional insiders. He's a smart businessman who knows he can't just waltz into Washington, hire nothing but business people, and expect to have an effective and efficient government.
As these left sided negative posts continue to stream, makes me ashamed I have always and will still lean left.
Would you rather him make Alex Jones Sec of State over Mitt Romney? .

Imagine him doing that every time he travels. Maybe he can tell his president to make sure his "law and order" agenda does not apply to real Americans like him.
And how many times were you told here that was exactly what he'd do? It really didn't require an oracle to predict that a 70-yo man was going to continue to operate the way he'd always operated.
I remember when W was elected, and how excited Rs were, sure that he'd make everything right again (whatever they meant by that). By the time he left office, his approval rating was what? under 30%?
Trump's gonna be the same way. Except he might get there sooner.
It's a little soon to be gazing into your crystal ball, isn't it?
You might want to clean it off, though, if you insist on playing with it.

The limp wristed Snowflakes are in full denial meltdown
What a glorious time to be alive in America.
Time to take out the trash and the Snowflakes think draining the swamp, is getting rid of who they don't like. When the trash is really Snowflakes.

What a mixed metaphor. Look into how real snowflakes are formed, and what they consist of. Hint: It ain't swamp water.
So - why not drop all the insulting terms and focus on the real issues at hand? Intelligent, creative and productive ideas can be found among patriotic Americans of all political persuasions, and surely now is the time for everyone to come together to promote the common good. I'm no Pollyanna, and I think healthy debate is a great thing - but the sort of dissension which is tearing our country apart at present cannot be good for any of us in the long run, and is a waste of energy.
So - let's try to stop all the finger pointing and name calling, agree to disagree - civilly - and focus on what we share. That's the love for our country, and the desire to make it better.
I will never be a Trump supporter, but I support the office of the President and wish whoever holds it well. I pray for wisdom, compassion, and good judgment for both the President and the President-elect and those who advise and assist them, as I do for all elected officials. That said, I can still criticize where I feel criticism is deserved, and work for change where I see the need for change.
Getting corrupt lobbyists and those elected officials who connive with them out of Washington - and elsewhere - is certainly a worthy goal. But it's not necessary and in fact, is very counter-productive to insult others who share this goal but who did not support your presidential candidate.
Time to move on, time to find common ground, time for civility, or we will all destroy ourselves and our country as we know ourselves and our country.
