You keep voting for the KKK candidates and NRA terrorists, and the rest of us will work to get these scum out of office.

B.S.

Supporting individual freedoms like private gun ownership rights is NOT supporting any of those scary trigger words they taught you in liberal edjumacation indoctrination school.

Believe it or not but you CAN own an AR-15 and not be violent, racist or stupid. Millions of Americans do it everyday.

But intentionally surrendering personal powers and decision making ability to a political power with a questionable track record which promises to protect you and act in your best interest in in exchange for some more of your freedom?

When that has gone wrong practically EVERY time in history?

Have you ever considered how cool it would be to own your very own bridge? I can hook you up!

Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and his base would still support him.

I think if he would repeatedly blamed White people and Christians for societal problems (such as bring up the bringing up slavery, Jim Crow laws, and racism against Blacks) his numbers would drop.

Thoughts?

Trump would require a complete restructuring of everything about him, to disengage the deplorables. He'd have to start acting politely and respectfully to everyone. He'd need to release his tax returns and divest himself of all his profit-making enterprises. Then fire all the corrupt members of his staff and cabinet and replace them with honest people who were dedicated to serving the public. He would have to sponsor legislation that would benefit everyone, such as undertaking major climate-change controls and the banning of most types of firearms. And The Wall would have to be scrapped.

Then maybe, his cult would rise up in outrage and disown him.

So it would appear that the desperation-fed stereotyping over in Left Field has reached a point where all that's left to the simpler minds is to parrot the lowest-common-denominator resentments, in the lowest-common-denominator language.

For the record, little boys and little girls, I hold a Bachelors' degree (in something stronger than liberal arts), have never owned a firearm, and spent the last fifteen years of my working life on the front lines of shops with a work force drawn from all ethnic groups. And I did not vote for Trump the last time around, but will the next time, if only to keep my nation safe from the likes of you.

Keep on spewing, and we'll keep laughing all the way to the polls.

Trump's base will take a hit on his new tax plan, but they don't seem to care. So nothing will deter them.

Democrats don't need your vote and they'd be fools to spend time and effort trying to get it.

Oh, and it's okay to be white.

It's a 100% fact that Trump is destroying the country. Only an absolute idiot would think otherwise. And on that note, time to add you to my endless ignore Trumpers list. So don't bother to tell me more lies.
that is -not- a fact, thats you opinion, many of us disagree and we can do so without screaming hopelessly at the sky and name calling.

the elements of fascism are there I agree, but they are coming from the government of California, not Washington.
if countries are working around the US on climate change, thats great news since climate change is fake news..well not climate change itself but how much humans affect it is fake news... we need to produce all forms of energy to sustain ourselves, other countries can move in the opposite direction.
Hilary and Obama proved committing treason while working in Washington was ok and wont be prosecuted for it.



lies? you want lies? go watch CNN and MSNBC, they tell lies constantly...and whine all the time just like you do too.

KKK candidates like Robert Byrd, the "conscience" of Senate Democrats for decades? I'll bet you didn't work to get THAT scum out of office. Most Democrat party hacks are just fine with Klansmen in the Senate, as long as they are Democrats.

I thought you hated political correctness? You think it helps your cause that the reason you voted for Trump was to prove how absolutely vile right-wingers really are?

All you've done is prove liberals right.

It would take a choice that you didn't offer in your unscientific poll: Proof of a crime, something we have on Hillary, but you Leftists refuse to abandon her on that basis.
