I'll tell you why, because you are being influenced to dislike Trump by the media that is owned by the globalists. Trump is an outsider to them. He's a huge monkey wrench in their plans.

Why didn't Reagan receive all this hate? He was nothing compared to Trump when elected. He was a B list actor. He was more conservative and actively tried to break unions and help corporations raid their pension plans. I had it figured out back then. I voted against him twice. I ripped him in front of all his followers and I did it face to face, we didn't have the Internet back then.

Last time it was this bad, some serious crap went down at Ford Theater and the Calvary was sent in, no questions asked to shut them up once an for all, those that lost and still wanted to fight.

Sounds like Mr. Van Dyk has experience writing about people like Donald Trump.

Enough said.
I don't think the term JV is in your best interest.

They blocked him since Obama didn't want to work with them. It takes Presidential leadership, you know.

And if you don't want to see a repeat, you must be disgusted with the Senate Democrats and their obstructionism?

That's the funniest thing I read today. Oh, you're referring to these liberals "judging Presidents"?

Obama is rated higher than Bill Clinton. Makes sense?

Did you READ the Survey? You probably didn't. Here it is: http://www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...f-ffff4eae0001

I'm sure you agree with all their ratings and categories. I think it's a joke. But I'm sure it will make people like you feel better.

To that I would add that Obama did not have the intention or desire to work with all parties. He expected the GOP to capitulate, and for the most part they did.

I actually haven't followed it that closely. I thought the protests were premature. The dude hadn't even done anything wrong yet and people were taking to the streets. I'm unaware of anything the Senate blocked because so far, Trumps done most of his changes by executive order, and his cabinet members have been approved.

I really really wish they'd roll out a Medicare for Everyone solution for healthcare, but it doesn't look like that's on the table. I saw a leaked study, and it's massive cuts. I don't like his cabinet picks so far. I like the focus on jobs, but these cabinet members are scary, and to have Bannon usurping the joint chiefs at the national security meetings is troubling.

His education secretary doesn't like public education ( just what we need. More unskilled labor, right? ) and the EPA guy wanted the agency shut down, as did Ryan with the DOE. These things are disturbing.

Oh, yes there is ! We are watching Trump self destruct day by day. If you think he is going to stay in there for 4 years, you are sadly mistaken. Too many people are against this mad man right now, his days are numbered.
