Policy. And I think most people would agree on policy. Trump is bringing out a lot of anger and not in a good way. There's anger on both sides but the right person could help to resolve that anger by compromising and bringing people together again.

It's obvious that we need national health insurance. Most Americans would agree. Everyone will need a doctor sooner or later. Instead of inciting more anger and blame, somebody needs to figure out a fair health care plan and implement it. Fair to everyone. And the people who think of national health care as "stealing" need to get a life because with the expensive advances in health care, very VERY few can afford it on their one. They would go bankrupt.

That's just one example. How about the gun laws? Instead of boycotts and fighting, some smart leader could negotiate a few laws that are fair to all. No one is going to take the second amendment away yet some on the fringes love to screech about that--both fringes, right and left. Stop the fake rhetoric. The yelling, ridiculing, hating. Make us the UNITED States of America again.

Compare to trump, any half way decent human being with a good heart and a steady demeanor is a huge improvement. A bigly improvement of confefe proportion.

He's an open borders globalist, which is a non starter as far as I'm concerned. I can't speak for others though.

That's the way I see it. I like Rand & Kasich because they want to balance the budget but most people on both sides of the political spectrum apparently could care less.

All I want funded is passenger rail, the space program, regenerative medicine, birth control, education, and the military to protect me from putin, jihadis, and the people's liberation army.

It isn't Trump bringing out the anger, liberals and their media lapdogs went completely, irrationally, nuts as soon as he got the nomination and went totally off the rails when Hillary lost.

Case in point. It doesn't matter what Trump does they'll screech, complain and riot over it even when he does exactly what Obama did.

Putin is not coming for you nor the PLA. They are competitors to the state but not a personal threat.

Kasich might win if the RINO runs as a democrat.

I agree; his voting record on immigration rivals Hillary's, Senator Kamala D. Harris or Governor Jerry Brown. He is a closet open border's Democrat!
