Trump is the Ronda Rousey of Presidential politics. He talks a lot of smack but watch for his fall.

Trump is the most liberal of all the Republican candidates. I would take Jeb over him and I ain't no fan of Jeb.

The ACA was the biggest middle class tax increase in history.

So far this thread is telling me that self-identifying as a Republican or a Democrat means squat.

Not that it meant a lot in the past, but man, up is down, black is white, etc.

Bad analogy since Rousey won 12 of her 13 fights in the first round.

If you want a war hawk in the WH, and that is your only issue, then yes, she would probably be your best choice.

Actually 11 in the first round. Tate got to the third round. She ain't the champ now.

I'd say both parties should be called that. The only difference is one side is the Blue GTH Middle Class Party, and the other is the Red GTH Middle Class Party. At least conservatives are trying to shake up the party and reel it back in. The DNC is on a shiny new bullet train heading for a tunnel built through a fault zone.

Yep! In the end right will be wrong and wrong will be right. Mayors telling women to stay at arms length from Muslim rapists, Obama blaming law abiding citizens for San Bernardino and Sandy Hook... I mean wth!

Yep. I've argued for years for people to do what we are seeing today. For people to quit voting for the establishment guy with the proper letter after his or her name. While the last few months have been encouraging, threads like this one don't tend to make me believe it's going to be long lasting.

And the Republicans don't care about the handouts. Just their rich buddies. There's so little difference between the parties now, it's ridiculous. We should just elect the special interests directly.
