The GOP holds the majority of seats in both the House and the Senate, they also hold 31 of the 50 state Governorships. Yet Trump supporters want to blame Obama for all of our country's problems. It's as if they were all sick the week their school went over the entire checks and balances thingy our government was founded on.

I think this topic deserves a thread of its own.

Trump isn't going to accomplish all this nonsense he's mouthing off about. It's merely "truthful hyperbole,” as he calls it, though the "truthful" part is questionable at best.

He's telling you what you want to hear and his followers are repeating it on this forum like it's gospel truth. Geez. Get real.

Ask anyone in the Northeast that he's ever done business with if they'd do business with him again. Ask why U.S. banks will have nothing to do with his development schemes and haven't for several decades now. Ask his wives if he delivers on his promises.

Clinton has laid out what she believes needs to done to make things better and strategies to achieve them.

As she has a history of working with people to get things done, I'm thinking that's what will happen.

These are people who know very little of what's actually going on in this country and around the world, and like him solely because he's a likable person. He smiles and he's charming. That's why they like him.

Do they approve of the fact that he DOUBLED our national deficit to the sum of $20 TRILLION?

Do they approve of the fact that Obamacare has turned out to be a complete disaster and is collapsing as we speak?

Do they approve of the fact the the middle east is in disarray due to his weak leadership?

Do they approve of the fact that he signed one of the worst deals in history? The Iran nuke deal!

Do they approve of the fact that this country's race relations are the worst they've ever been under his leadership do to his soft liberal policies and enabling of groups like BLM.

Do they approve of the fact that he's accepting 10's of thousands of Syrian refugees and is providing housing, food, etc..... yet we have homeless vets sleeping on the street?

Well when you put it that way you've convinced me and more then half of the rest of the country to vote for Donny (NOT..........) This is brought to you by the same people that said Obama was a communist, Muslim from Kenya.....

Hillary voters are immune to logic, facts, and common sense.

Let's vote for a criminally corrupt individual who will continue doing the exact same thing that caused all of the problems you just ignored! Great idea!

Seriously?


I think you have the two confused. Hillary is a wolf in sheeps clothing and will tell you whatever you want to hear just for a vote. SHe is as corrupt as it gets. A vote for Hillary is a vote in favor of corruption. With that being said, I do agree with some of the ideas she has on certain issues but I couldn't sleep at night voting for someone who is that corrupt.


Trump, I am not saying is perfect by any means. There is a lot of stuff I don't agree with but the truth is he hasn't done anything nearly as bad as Hillary. People criticize him for business decisions in the past, but he has done everything within the confines of the law. He was in a position to make money even if he didn't necessarily agree that it was the right thing to do. He may not have the best personality, he may embellish some stories, etc... Fact is though that he is not corrupt.


I would gladly take an outsider in the White House who wants to change the way things are even if I don't agree with all of his policies vs a corrupt politician who knows how the system works and tells me everything I want to hear. Corruption will never end if you keep voting for it.

It depends on which audience Mrs Clinton is speaking too, as to what the definition of clear is; is.

As for Hillary supporters, are they just supporting Hillary because they despise Trump despite the fact that she doesnt have a solid platform that she's running on other than giving amnesty to and welcoming in foreign immigrants whether they're legal or not!?
