Join a union then. Republicans hate unions because they look out for the middle class. Republicans look out for the rich first

I'm all those things and I voted against both Bush and Trump. I have nothing in common with a political party that is only interested in enriching corporations and giving tax breaks to the most wealthy Americans. Not sure why their working poor voters continue to carry their water.

"I hated Hillary"? Where did you get that from? There is no hate. I dont even dislike her. I even voted for her husband twice. Kind of regret that now, but I prospered under Bill. Not actually under Him though

Unbelievable. Who, I wonder, is doing his actual job?

I am a libertarian and did not vote for Trump or Obama but Trump does seem like he keeps pretty busy. I remember the reports that Obama would just work a few hours a day. Late for meetings, comes in to work very late and leave early. At least Trump is putting in more of an effort. Even WaPo had to comment on it.

The children paraded around on the front of the line are human-trafficked and they don't even belong to the person in charge of them. Women are loaded down with extra birth control due to all the rape going on from those in this caravan.

What part of our government controls and profits from human trafficking? We really need to find the answer to and fix for this violation of human rights and decency.

The Democrats are behind this.

I voted for Trump because Obama would call Terrorists who killed Americans acts of "Work place violence" so he didn't upset his Islamic friends.

I voted for Trump over Hillary because she said she would continue Obama's violent crap and covering for Terrorists.
Creating jobs instead of mobs, electing ass kicking SCOTUSes, killing terrorists etc.

Maybe they have figured out something that you haven't. I proudly own my vote for Trump. He was the best man for the job....and still is.

Are you serious??!.

* There are democrat leaders and even Hillary herself who are publically advocating for open borders.
* It is democrats who have created all the sanctuary cities, protecting illegals and violent gang criminals from deportation and forbidding local police to cooperate with immigration officers or border patrol.
* it is democrats who are trying to abolish and shame ICE
* it is democrats making out that MS-13 are just victims
* It is democrats stopping e verify or voter ID.
* it is democrats stopping the wall being built —walls do work!
* it is democrats shaming republicans for separating illegal children as a deterrent, when Obama did the same thing only more so in 2014 he had 20,000 illegal children separated and put in foster homes.
* democrats in CA are using millions of taxpayer money to hire lawyers to defend illegals from deportation.
* democrats in CA are allowing illegals to vote in local elections.
* democrats in many states are giving Illegals drivers licenses
* etc etc etc etc

I am very thankful for ICE. They have a tough job to do and they are tough. Not everybody could handle the job.

Red lettering is my insert.
If they are here illegally this is illegal immigration as opposed to long term immigrants who came through the legal process. You contradict yourself saying that you are not a Democrat for illegal immigration yet you want employers imprisoned and the illegals to be allowed to stay(not having committed crimes does not make them legal).

Things have objectively gotten better under Trump. I don't know why anyone would vote against their best interests by voting Democrat. Their ideas just don't work and we have 8 years of Obama to look at if there is any doubt.
