But not this time.

Here is a particularly telling paragraph:


One wonders when you read the "brilliant" Will, when he was critical of Obama or your ideology, if you ever started a thread about it?

If not, then I suspect you effuse praise of him is just cover to try not to be hypocritical, and another excuse to keep the anti-Trump threads going on a daily basis.

I've already said I don't agree with Will on many things.

Trump is actually trying to get things done. Obama was just a pretty face with few skills.

No dude - that's you.

Companies are laying off hand over fist. We continue to bleed manufacturing jobs. Coal didn't make that comeback. The middle class still needs a raise; wages are not keeping up with inflation.

But if you want to work a minimum wage job - yeah; those are plentiful.

And - the entire world is laughing their ass off at us.

Right now I'd say the advantage clearly lies with Trump being reelected.
Actually, it appears as if Will is speaking for the people. Trump is tanking and looking weaker and weaker. Whoever is claiming Trump is more popular are either paid or living in an alternate right universe.

He's losing the people.

OP is probably referring to that fool that spent 8 years in the white house and accomplished absolutely nothing more than forcing his healthcare solution on everyone (failed) and being the food stamp god. Goes by Barry
