Personally I like to evaluate the candidates, and then decide. At this point is way too early, but I hope Rand Paul and few other GOP folks step up and challenge the idiot we have now.

Yes, Lord anybody that just doesnt constantly lie. Make up numbers and facts off the top of his head that make people wonder what world he lives in. When he does this, and its all the time, he's playing you for a fool. You cant see that. If you're one of his followers you're too busy waving and agreeing with him to even listen. To his 35% - 40% yes he loves you.

Obviously there are tens of millions of Americans who cannot tell fact from fiction. There are also tens of millions who are fine with corruption and lies anyway (the end is always worth the means).

In fact, most don't even care if "the ends" are achieved....as long as they can fool themselves that "we are on the way to the ends".

Heck for some of these characters nuclear war would be OK if only we send back 10% of "illegals"...never mind the fact that more and more are coming in under Trump.

I think we can easily value their "illegal head count" at about 5 million a head. That is, they'd spend 5 Billion to deport 5,000.

This is all assuming that it's not their money, of course! They don't want to pay enough taxes to balance the budget or pay down the debt. That was the last tomfoolery they believe in - the Tea Party. That's out of fashion now.

Hailing from your state, it kinda makes some sense.

I'm voting for him if, for no other reason, than to reject the out of control democrat mob mentality we've seen the past two years.

The fact that they are actually serious about getting rid of the electoral college is all the evidence I need to know that their ultimate goal is to guarantee more control over elections. Well, I hate to break it to you dems, but you are not entitled to win elections. If you want to lead the country, then you earn it by genuinely capturing the hearts and minds of legal American voters. You don't try and game the system to force wins.

But why should rural America be able to force its will on the big cities? Most people in the populated parts of this country aren't interested in going back to 1955.

Open borders and socialism versus security and capitalism . Shouldn’t be a tough decision.

It’s insane socialism is even being considered seriously in America in 2019!

This topic has been discussed ad nauseum. I'm not going to waste my time explaining it since you are not going to change your mind anyway. If you're really curious about why we have the electoral college, and how it helps to prevent mob party rule, do your own research. There's plenty of literature out there.

Who said anything about 1955?
We want a border wall , law and order and don’t want socialism.
That means we want to go back to 1955?

Also I live in the second most populated city in America . Not everyone in cities supports open borders and socialism .
