You can ask. If they say "no", don't vote for them.

Yes, I did expect Obama to end the Iraq and Afghan wars, both have come to an end for the most part, but I was not happy with the timeline that he went with.
O.K., I see there is NO reason to continue here.

And that is what I did with Trump, I didn't vote for him....that still doesn't change that it is important to see their conflicts of interest first before watching them play out while they are in office like we are about to witness....but I guess that is the difference between us, I would much rather see that information first before they take office.

Again, I never said the US wasn't involved in military involvements in other parts of the world, that doesn't mean we are at war with any country. Last time I checked, there is a group called ISIS that Republicans claim Obama is soft on, but based on your link with how many bombs were dropped on the two countries that ISIS is in, I am not sure I would call that being soft.

I wonder if these Silly Snowflake crybabies realize that if it were possible to enact a new bar to prevent the Republican nominee in the blue states, the red states would put up a similar bar to keep Snowflake Dems from being on the ballot....I doubt it.

I can tell you what "scared democrats more" ...... "What have you got to Lose?
They are absolutely correct to be scared to death that people in the Black Communities might decide to "stop fighting in a burning house" and recognize that 50 years of being USED like Cannon Fodder whenever an Election rolls around ..... is just not working for them. That is really something to be scared "more about".

Interesting Times we live in.

I would prefer to see the people elect a decent candidate but I didn't get my way either.

I have no interest in stupid word games. My earlier post should have made that clear.

Don't you think it's a little odd that democrats are making a huge deal about Russia supposedly "hacking" our election when in reality all anyone did was release emails that contained the truth? Democrats are mad beyond belief because the truth got out and they believe it hurt them during the election. Isn't that just a bit odd?



If you know for sure he's hiding something I suggest you go to the media immediately, otherwise your paranoia is showing.
Well , if you feel like it is a non issue why not call for Trump
to release his tax records so the rest of us can see what is going on?
It should be no big deal since you state you don't care, what is he hiding?
FYI Trump is no longer a private citizen.

That wasn't word games, that was stating a point. Dropping bombs on a terrorist group is what is expected. I don't think you will find anyone who is against that.....except for maybe the people in ISIS.
