Unfortunately he is everyones president, luckily she is not everyones Representative.
That moron is not a legitimate commander in chief so nice try but no cigar. Trump the birther grifter gangster and thief is nothing more than an agent of a foreign adversary.

She also has an annoying "little girl" quality to her, in her speech and how she carries herself. She annoys me to no end. Not enough life experience, she needs to grow up still, I'd swear she still has the soft spot on her head still.

Sorry, our electoral college process disagrees with you. Nothing about a "nice try" you don't have a choice in who the POTUS is just because you don't like him. Time will tell if he gets bounced, but until then, you have to learn to accept reality.
I like how people choose to limit my potential before I get there. If I earn my way to nobility type status/wealth. Why the heck shouldn't I be allowed? They earned it, and deserve it.
Here's the problem: many, but not all, are getting insanely rich NOT by the sweat of their brow but by working the "system" in Washington. The super-wealthy have, over the years, feathered their beds by employing armies of lobbyists who influence how bills and regulations are written.
Economists call this "rent seeking." Rent seeking is defined as "an attempt to obtain economic rent (money in excess of what a business generates) by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by creating new wealth."
I applaud those who become wealthy by creating it the old fashioned way: building a business, hiring employees, making an honest profit.
An example of rent seeking is the US tax code. The highest income taxes are on salaried labor. The wealthy pay at much lower effective tax rates on capital gains, qualified dividends, stock options, etc. They got those benefits by rent seeking by lobbying Congress for them. Middle class gets stuck with the highest tax rates because no one lobbies for the middle class.
We do not have a level playing field in this country, it's tilted in favor of the wealthy.

That's how Obamacare came about. Insurance industry lobbyists wrote it and both Obama and the Dems let that happen.

Incorrect. I already debunked that myth in this post in this thread:
why do people attack this women's intelligence? she has a degree in international relations with a minor in economics.
she worked as an intern for a senator before she was elected...she actually has an asteroid named for her..that's right a planetary object!
while i suspect she will be bought off by the powers that be, before too long what we need is people with fresh ideas that maybe be sound "crazy" at first but not so much on further inspection
Because she uses populist talking points that anyone with an understanding of economics knows are blatantly false. As someone with a degree in economics she’s painful to listen to. She’s a female version of Bernie Sanders; all show, little substance.
