I think that is unfortunate. You are a citizen with voting rights and you should be able to vote for whoever you damned well please.

I don't agree with your choice and you do not agree with mine. This time.

Next time, who knows?

I have always considered myself a moderate, though I do lean liberal on social issues.

I was not a Bernie supporter and I took a lot of heat for that among my more liberal friends. They all seemed to think that I don't care about poor people or college students or something.

I just knew Bernie couldn't do all that stuff he claimed, so I didn't get all excited over him like they did.

And that was absolutely my right.

I may not agree with Trump as a president, but I still believe that the right to vote belongs to all Americans, no matter who they vote for.

Including Trump.

It's news when a black man in 2018 continues to chastised for his beliefs in conservative ideals and support for conservative public officials. I already saw the "uncle tom, sellout, etc." name calling on social media.

Good to see Kanye West standing up for himself and against the groupthink that believes every minority celebrity has to be a liberal to appease their fanbase.

Yep. agreed

Next time, who knows? This is so true.

I remember one time, I asked my friend's roommate (who is a liberal white man), "So do you believe teachers should be armed?" (He's a college professor, by the way.) He said, "well, I do believe they should all be armed in order to kill the conservatives." I couldn't believe what just heard! Once he knew I was a conservative, I think he felt a little bit embarrassed. This is the "oops" moment for him I am sure. This incident does not bother me, but I do believe this election brought out the worst in some people. So much anger.

Latest Kanye tweet:

"If your friend jumps off the bridge you don't have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don't tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too."

There ya go.

He said it... that is just Kanye being Kanye.

When Obama ran the first time, I was seriously considering McCain until Palin came along.

Palin is the reason I finally went Obama.

I went Obama again because I wasn't a big Romney fan.

In hindsight, he was probably who I should have voted for and not because I didn't like Obama.

Because he would have prevented a Trump presidency.



So, next time, I do it all over again. Evaluate them all.

If Kasich had won the R nomination, I may have voted for him.

I don't see that tweet on his account

I do see signed Donald Trump hats and MAGA hats. But my point is that Kanyew is clearly a conservative.

McCain and Romney were bad just like Hillary. Been around too long. Seems it's just pay back from their party to put them up for their loyalty. Once they are in they do the same old tired policies that gets us nowhere.

I am not one to cast aside a candidate just because they have actual job experience.

It's not like presidents are cheaper when they don't know how to do the job.

It's on there.

Posted it at 12:30 today... 4/25/18.

If you cannot find it, I can dig up a screen shot, but it is definitely on there.
