Trump won't be offered a dog catcher job. The man isn't qualified for any government job. I wouldn't even let him clean the toilets. Who wants to hear him whine all day? I know he's broke but he needs to start selling some toys. If he isn't broke then he needs to show his taxes....

Well, there's that.

However, to be fair, there are plenty of lunatics in congress. Perhaps he could run for one of those seats.

Will an olive branch (cabinet position) be offered to Trump by Clinton?

After the most personally contentious campaign in history, what do you think? Putin has a better chance of setting foot in the White House than Trump.

Regardless of what one reads on the Breitbart and InfoWar websites, she is not.

Never been charged with a crime. Never been convicted of one.

If the benchmark is morality and sense of duty, Clinton has a long history of demonstrating this.

I also heard the nation would be coming to a bad end if Obama was elected. Sharia law was inevitable...

Oddly enough, things seem to be going much better than predicted.

Indeed the seeds of insurrection have been established. It remains to be seen if the Bundy family's flouting of federal law and takeover of the bird sanctuary in Oregon will be replicated across the country.

However, there is a mechanism for liberating our nation from self-serving tyrants, one that won't land you in prison.

Final day to exercise that option this year is Nov. 8th.

Most absurd thing I heard in a while.. Trump would never want to be surrounded by a bunch of corrupt people . That is why he is fighting to get into the white house. To defeat corruption in Washington. It is now or never because if Hillary ever got in the corruption would be acceptable and we would never gain any kind of truth, honor , or standards for our nation or its people.

Does he believe the stuff that comes out of his mouth?

If he did believe it; here is the best scenario for him.

What are you talking about?

Trump has a long history of surrounding himself with corrupt people.

For crying out loud, his mentor was Roy Cohn, attorney for the mafia.

Trump's ties to organized crime are well known. Just What Were Donald Trump's Ties to the Mob? - POLITICO Magazine

His campaign manager for several months was a Russian operative.

Roger Stone, Trump's long-time confidant and ally, has a history of political "dirty tricks."

Good Lord, it is practically impossible to find anyone around him who is not corrupt.

Whatever you say.

You weren't paying attention to the words to which you were replying. Go back, follow the link, and read what the 91% number is, because it is clear that you're not reading my comments.

I cannot account for your presumption in that regard. I can only presume that you are refusing to acknowledge how effective it would be to tag Sanders as a "Socialist" ("Communist" in Trumpist parlance). As with everything else about this, we're going to have to agree to disagree.

If so, then the Democrats will move left. Which is what I said in my earlier message, which you apparently decided not to read. In the meantime, the majority of Democrats are closer to Clinton than Sanders, the vast majority of Americans are fare closer to Clinton than Sanders.

Beyond that, one of the realities that you cannot neglect is that, absent certain incidents, voters get more conservative as they age. Now, I don't think we can expect that to occur with this cohort, because one of those certain incidents is living through a recession when young. The younger millennials will almost surely be affected by that, and will likely remain as liberal as they are now. However, the older Gen Xers who came of age in the 1990s, will likely become progressively more conservative as they age.

You're not reading what I'm writing... try again: "The party has changed with me (or me with it) for the last twenty five years. I don't see any reason to believe that the party and I won't continue to be in synch with each other - certainly not your saying so."

This is getting tiring. You are not reading what you are replying to. Your responses are becoming increasingly irrelevant to my comments that you're quoting. Go back. Read what I wrote again, and then if you want to post a reply to that, please do.

Yes, the 57% of Democrats who are SMH at you right now. Is that the kind of discussion you want to have? Not me. I've had enough of your kind of rhetoric.
