Can't say that I've had the equivalent experience of anguish. Maybe when I had to have hernia surgery, but that's about as close as I can come. And even that didn't cloud my judgment with delusion.

But you are correct, they do seem to be a quite unhappy lot.

From a far right wingers' perspective, anything to the left of them is a left winger.

here's a transcript from some of the interview. i've only skimmed over a bit but it seems that trump is delusional on what exactly is within the president's power. he seems to be under the idea that if he clicks his ruby heels together three times he can bypass congress and end NAFTA ( or control china's currency ).

I was being sarcastic. What did he expect him to say? I’ll jump off the Trump Tower?

Not much different from those, especially on this board that are not even far to the left but they think all Republicans are nutty right wingers. When it comes to Trump, he isn't either, he is a Trumpacan and has no idea where he falls in the relm of politics. It is ok to have views on both sides, an open minded adult should have that, but his way is so extreme in everythng it is hard to decide what is real and what is make believe.

From what I have seen, people on the left tend to know what a Centrist, Moderate Republican, and far right winger are. Though on this forum site, there is a large number of far right wingers posting.

Obviously when it comes to Trump, he lives in Trump World where everything is the best and huge because he is involved. The funny thing is there are a number of far right wingers that are eating up this nonsense coming from Trump.

Once more here is the truth. Laid out in black and white.

5 immigration myths debunked - Nov. 20, 2014

A 2007 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on the impact of undocumented immigrants on the budgets of local and state governments cited IRS figures showing that 50% to 75% of the about 11 million unauthorized U.S. immigrants file and pay income taxes each year.

Take Social Security. According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), unauthorized immigrants -- who are not eligible to receive Social Security benefits -- have paid an eye-popping $100 billion into the fund over the past decade.

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law, even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years.


The only way to stop food stamps and assistance from going to Anchor babies and their parents spending the money, which is the only form of welfare available to illegals, is to have a constitutional amendment to revoke the 14th amendment. Nobody is talking about that as even the stupid among us know it is undo able.

Rank idiots actually believe that illegals who have been here 10 or more years and have american citizen children are going to self deport? Not a chance. Not a thread of a chance. You'll have to find each one individually, drag them kicking and screaming while a dozen cell phones record the whole brutal exercise for release to every local media outlet and you'll have to do it for each and every one of those 11 million. You will need clubs, tasers and guns. And if you decide to go that route, God have mercy on your useless souls.

Idiocy, pure unadulterated idiocy.

Trump fans may or may not vote but you're still fans all the same. Fans are enthusiastic devotees who ignore anything he does that is contradictory, crude, rude and unworkable in the real world. I've followed his career since his first book in 1981. He's a phony, me-first, blowhard.

He's doing what he knows. He's a salesman afterall - in the same food chain as used cars salemen......they're going to say stuff that makes you buy their product whether it is truthful or not. Read Art of the Deal and you'll see what he's up to.

The problem with your bolded statement is that EVERYONE who isn't a far left wing nutjob is painted as a "far right winger."

In other words, most posters on the left do not believe "Centrist, Moderate Republicans" exist. If they did, they wouldn't resort to the blanket smear almost 100% of the time.
