He/ she who polls the strongest , a year before the nominations, eventually wanes.
Why is then, that the only ones holding their corrupted politicians accountable are the conservatives? The democrat voters keep reelecting Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, Biden etc... 0bama is the biggest crony capitalist this country has ever witnessed, and the dems love him for it.

I don't get that, either. Are Dem voters really that stupid?!?

Gruber sure seemed to think so.

Obama's policies have created an environment in which Trump is appealing to many voters. If there was not-

1. record numbers of unemployed

2. record numbers living in poverty

3. record numbers on food stamps

4. declining wages

5. a POTUS who seems to ignore the law

6. expansion of far left political agendas

7. poor trade agreements which are killing the middle class and manufacturing

8. continued race baiting by the POTUS

9. weak foreign policy

10. open borders with wholesale importation of criminals

11. corruption in the White House not seen since the Grant administration


................................... there would be no Trump. Thank Obama for Trump.
Hillary can thank Trump, because he will guarantee her presidency.

Trump will just split the conservative vote, much like Ross Perot did against George HW Bush. And lots of middle America turned off by Trump will pivot to Hillary out of lack of other better options.
