This is just the dangest presidential election I have ever envisioned.

Man, there is NO ONE to vote for, but I feel like I GOTTA vote!
Has the world gone just plumb crazy?

Today, I found that Bill Clinton, who left office in 2000, didn't make $500K per speech until 2009, when Hillary became Secretary of State. After that, it was a steady $500K.

Funny Stuff! We also have a thread up by the Leftists - Heads Roll at Trump Campaign The OP asks -Are the wheels coming off the Trump train? (turns out 2 recently hired GOP aids that worked for Carson have been replaced)

And then a week long purge - The Chairman of the DNC, the Communications Director, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer -- all "poof". Makes you wonder ...... Are the wheels coming off the Democratic National Committee? NOPE - they are doing damage control because they got caught with their rigged system to keep Bernie out of the running and with their candid remarks about women, gays, minorities.
Disgusting people.

You can't help but laugh at the Leftists and their puppy dog media.

You would be in a very small minority.

You started a thread awhile back on how you regretted voting for him. You called it something like "I May have been wrong him", and you didn't like what he was doing with the country.

Let's see if he even leaves office. An "event" whether real or staged such as civil unrest, terror attack, etc. gives him the power to suspend/cancel the election.

You are right, I did have my moment of doubt, especially regarding his strength in handling ISIS a while back. But that moment of weakness on my part has been far overshadowed by the overall terrific job he has done in every other area. Like everyone else, when I get frustrated, I sometimes lash out and say things I really did not think through.

As for being in the "minority" I don't think so. His approval rating is about 54-55 %, EXTREMELY HIGH for an outgoing President. You can say what you want about Obama, but he has class, is intelligent, has devoted his life to public service (when he could have made a lot more money more easily by being an Attorney or similar) and he is well respected by leaders of many other countries. Plus, the country is in much better condition today because of him.

If (by some freakish twist of fate) Trump gets in there, let's see if his approval ratings are as high after his term in office. The term "early impeachment" comes to mind here.

It is great to learn how many people in this country support lying including some so called republicans who now support Pinocchio!

The true characters are shown!

So, 3 more took a bullet for Hillary? No surprises there, they should just be glad with the Clintons history that it was a metaphorical bullet.

I can assure anyone that if they are expecting anything but cheating by Hillary's campaign and the DNC, they will be VERY disappointed.

Now, I liked Bernie. He was my backup if Trump was cheated out of the Republican nomination. I still think he bowed out due to unreasonable pressure, again anyone knowing the Clinton history knows you do not want to be in their way.

Have to at least commend those resigned staffs for having some sense of honor/shame. There is one person who would under no circumstanances ever resign from any position out of shame, you all know who it is--who has no sense of shame.

I could not agree with you more...........Trump has zero shame. Thanks for pointing that out.
