And NYC is going to pick Clinton or Sanders? One who didn't provide enough protection for her own staff in Bengazi and the other is a complete socialist like DeBlasio.

The democratic field looks pathetically weak. Let's just say that if Obama is allowed to re-run he will still lose this election because the party owns all the problems today after 8 years and lack of progress. Sure poor people have healthcare but they can't pay their deductibles.

More recently, he clearly attempted to avoid catching fire by not openly addressing some controversial issues like "Muslims for President". For those who wanted to hear his "specifics", he announced that he has written an entirely new book to detain on his economic plans and how to make america great again, which will be available for purchase on Oct 27 (a truly smart business man who uses every opportunity to build up his wealth). It is probably time to save up for the book if you don't have that money ready yet. All in all, he seems to be well prepared to do what he is doing, which explains why he is a biggest winner so far...
Excellent point Leoliu. Some people are sleeping on Trump. He is a very savvy guy. Want to know his economic plan for America as president? Buy the book, its written there. And make millions while at it. If his presidential bid fails, at least he made several million dollars during the process. Genius!

Trump also mentioned in a previous interview that he really prefers not to disclose too much of his plan in detail so that he doesn't telegraph his next move, as that would tip off the enemy and give them time to prepare.

At the same time he understands that he has to disclose some stuff for the sake of winning the election so people don't talk smack about him not having a plan. Its like being between a rock and a hard place. You don't want to give too much and compromise your plan but you have to give something in order to keep the haters at bay.

Obama's biggest decline was due to taking on presidency during a global recession he didn't cause and was mainly affected by republicans. The US saw economic improvement in around the same amount of time that some European countries did with their recession (with a lot recovering later). It took a few years to get the economies in a decent state after.

Also, as I said, Obama may end on a relatively positive note.
Obama is bought by rich lobbyists as well. Take the special interest groups and high dollar donors who can buy politicians out of politics Sanders is right on that issue.

If you can't get behind that, then prepare for the same bullsh*t for the next 4 years and so on.

As far as this outrage about Obama being called a muslim, people are showing they're idiocy. His father was a muslim correct?
So just like in Judaism where the mother dictates whether you are a real Jew or not, in islam it's your father that makes you a muslim. So what's the problem? He could convert to Christianity 100 times, but in the eyes of islam he will always be a muslim.

And if you really think that him converting and going to a black liberation theology church in Chicago makes him a Christian, you need your head examined. Its a social justice, Marxist house of sh*t run by Rev Wright. Watch his anti white, anti American sermons. What the hell kind of Christian church is this???

The average American elected this garbage into office not once but twice! And we are getting flack because we want Trump? Lol, amazing.
Great post, brilliant well said. Somebody finally gets it even thou I don't like Trump.

Between Trump and Bush, Bush is a nicer and gentle individual but Trump is a competent businessman and leader who bears the most promise among all the candidates who can steer this country away from a looming economic catastrophe down the road. I would pick Bush as the Mr. nice guy over trump but Bush does not have the know-hows to revive american dream for the tens of millions of struggling americans whose tomorrow looks even darker.

Trump says a whole lot without really saying anything. Its all generalization without any specifics. I am voting for Fiorina or Rubio.
