Most reps have little gov experience. It's an entry level position. They come from all walks of life. I see a lot of dentists and gynecologists elected. Reps have no power, anyway, so it really does not matter. The real shocker is that an unqualified reality TV host can become president.

You Libs conveniently forget Trump is the CEO and owner of a large, multinational corporation. It was the ONLY reason he became a TV star. I'd rather have a successful businessman in the White House than a talking Community Organizer who just TALKS, but never really does anything.

If they were unemployed instead of employed sr WalMart, would they be more or less dependent on the public dole?

This is such an annoying talking point. President Trump was by far the most qualified candidate in history, in that he had the most important skills necessary to be president; He ran a large successful business and he was and is a superb negotiator. The measure of greatness of his 50-year business career is that he is multi-billionaire. The negotiating ability has helped our trade, erasing Nafta, getting us better deals, with our enemies like North Korea, and with eventually getting the wall, which he will do.


0bama had none of these qualities, and we all saw the disastrous results for our country.

And the little tart bartender has accomplished nothing and knows nothing.

Its quite strange to see claimed Democrats, agreeing with Republicans on AOC.
When all she is doing is trying to bring up talking points and policies the Democratic Party wanted in the 70-80s?
What was basic talking points back then, are called Marxist ideas now!

Do you have ANY idea, how far right the Democratic Party has been pulled by the Republican and big donors the last 30-40 years?


Bernie Sanders and AOC would be centrists over here in Europe and all other developed countries. Democrats like Beto and Harris are what we consider Right winged. Republicans talking points.. well, they would be a tiny marginal party.

And that explains why Europe is perpetual recession and upheaval with its open borders letting criminals in. We in America enjoy being #1 in the world. We'd like to keep it that way.

Yeah.. Look at the numbers.. Europe and other OECD countries are racing past the US in basically everything.
You have a large Military though.. and cheap Chinese trinkets to fill up your house.

The rest is crumbling.. with workers getting less and less of the economic pie.
40% of Americans can't even handle a $400 emergency!!

Nazis weren't socialist. They persecuted socialists. You should brush up on your history before you make statements like that.
