Recall that the current health insurance debacle was caused by Democrats! Or have you forgotten?


Our military is being rebuilt, and being unchained from the shackles that Obama placed on it. That is helping us to defeat ISIS. Latest reports are that they have lost a lot of territory.

Recall that the GOP slackers in Congress have failed more than 60 times to repeal it. Or have you forgotten?


Recall that the current POTUS claimed he would immediately repeal the ACA and replace it with a far better plan. Or have you forgotten?

Join the real world.

How is his policy of making up phony phone calls praising himself a positive?

You obviously do not know what the stock market is or what it represents. To compare it to a casino is utter stupidity.

Just WHAT do you imagine it represents considering we've seen in the past how a runaway computer can affect stock prices?

Yeah, a casino's probably more honest and you get free drinks to boot!

Bam! I don't give a crap what the world thinks. There was a reason we declared independence from England, and we do not want to become "like Europe." Why would we want to go back to that crap?

2) You're having a meltdown. Honest question, just how many hours of TV\radio\internet do you listen to each day where the content is talk radio\news\political? You might want to dial it back.

The lesson I'm learning in all of this is that a guy like Trump is arguably less dangerous than some of our past presidents because he isn't smooth talking and able to woo public opinion.

We haven't invaded the middle east with an unnecessary war and we also haven't shipped 2/3rds of the US light manufacturing jobs and gutted private union rolls like other "more presidential" Presidents have managed to do.

While I don't like Trump, his personality and actions make him mostly harmless other than to the ears.

Wringing your hands over your concern of the world's opinion of the USA is about as fruitful as wringing your hands over whether or not the clique-y girls at school like you. It's a silly waste of time that only distracts you from being your best self.

Pull it together, live your own life, and stop worrying about what other people who live somewhere else think. Their opinions have *zero* bearing on their day-to-day life or more importantly, yours.

IF "he isn't smooth talking and able to woo public opinion.", HOW the hell did he get elected?

Huh??? You get that from ...where? CNN? MSNBC? What the hell are you talking about?

If Obamacare is so great, why did the Democrat exempt Congress from it? (Remember, no Republicans voted for it).

Obamacare is a failure and everybody knows it (except you, it would seem). It's a shame that there are Republicans who, now that their vote really counts, will not vote for repeal. They will pay the price.

Not only is Obamacare unconstitutional, it is probably the single worst piece of legislation ever to be passed by Congress (without one Republican vote) and signed by any President in the history of the United States.

But your Leftist ideology is well known to me, so I'm not surprised at the ignorance in your replies.

I'm certainly not "wringing my hands." I couldn't care less what the world thinks of Trump.
