My point wasn't that they were getting away with anything. My point was that that poster, who is a leftwing liberal, would obviously think that.

The problem with the Democrats (in the nature of full disclosure I am a radical Democrat) is that they don't realize that nothing is free.

You guys have not one candidate sane enough to beat Trump. How hateful the Dems. have become.

I really do believe (and hope) that Trump will be re-elected because of this.

I tend to agree with you and may even vote for him. However, I will be with the SJW's bellowing my head off incoherently. When I get upset I become as incoherent as my posts.

Please do. I'm sure you, unlike most of the American lemmings, are smart enough to see through the anti-Trump Fake News that is shoveled daily....and you can see that Trump has done far more good than bad.

Obama had to get the country out of the George W. Bush recession of 2007-2008. Don’t you remember that? Our home value went down $80,000 during that period, and also our portfolio declined. How quick you Repubs forget that.

Money had to be spent by the government to bring us back. Thankfully, Obama was able to do that. He is/was a smart guy who was able to get good advice, unlike the dumbbell Trump, who couldn’t get us out of a wet paper bag.

(BTW, I’m a moderate Independent, who had considered registering Republican until GWB came along.). There are some good Dems running. They are not getting much press, as the top 4 peeps in the polls are sucking up all the attention. 3 of those are far left wing progressives. None of them will be the nominee.

Most of American life is on the up. Unlike some of the nutcases who said Trump would crash America (Fake News), it didn't happen.

I don’t see how the nominee is not Biden, Harris, Warren, Bernie at this stage. Buttgieg is also insanely far left so that’s a 5th person. If one of those other candidates won the nomination it would be a miracle

Biden's support is going soft in New Hampshire. His lead is now three, which is within the margin of error.

NH (StAnselm): Biden 21, Harris 18, Warren 17, Buttigieg 12, Sanders 10, Yang 5

If all of the early races are this close, this contest could drag on for quite a while.
