Sounds like something Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh spun up - I've never heard anything like this before and I'm sure if there were any truth to it, it would have been spun during Obama's 8 years in office. Kind of like the "birtherism" and the hit list of people killed by the Clintons - just a bunch of outright lies. You know the Republicans love lies since they put up with FOX Noise.

- Snubbed, disrespected, and alienated all of US traditional allies
- Passed a tax package that permanently helps his rich friends but expires in 4 years for ordinary Americans
- Loosened clean air and clean water protections, which is terrible for Americans, great for polluters
- Failed at building a wall, or making Mexico pay for it, even though his own party controlled Congress
- Has destabilized the economic recovery by his trade war with China and Mexico and Canada

Some of Trump's more famous cons:
- Trump University which swindled thousands of students
- Trump charity which was in truth a family slush fund and was ordered to shut down.
Oh, you forgot about his amazing 35 day government shutdown that he started right before Christmas where he Tweeted during the holidays, "poor me, I'm all alone in the White House" and it cost working people billions of dollars. What an idiot! If you want a moron making decisions, he never disappoints. I do worry that we cannot survive another almost two years under him since he is being played by Putin and Kim Jong Un. He has no clue what they may try to do to us by 2020. Nor is he interested in knowing. I'm sure all of Europe has lost a lot of rest with him trampling all over NATO and taking up with Russia, China, and North Korea.

I said this is a pillar of the democrat party ...redistributing your hard work to those that don't …. because "its not fair"

in a liberal world the teacher would give you a b and your neighbor a B to be "fair"

but that kills incentive??!!! yes it does and punishes achievement
I think both parties are guilty of "redistributing", they just have differing ideas on who the money should be given to. Trump and the Republican congress decided that the middle income wage earners should pay for tax cuts for the rich. And as a result there are a growing number of very unhappy people who owe more money than they thought they would. There was not enough withheld from their paychecks so now they owe money. Some people are saying that the administration intentionally had IRS under withhold so that the tax plan wouldn't lose support before the midterms, I doubt if we will ever know it that's the case.

I was very comfortable with the Dem platform from 2004 to 2012. Around 2014 things started to change. Both parties have seen their moderate base shift to the extremes. I would like universal health care and a bit more regulations like Canada or Australia but the extreme Anti White stance of many Liberals makes that unlikely nationwide. GOP has shifted right on many issues too. I only like GOP as a safeguard against SWJs gone wild.

If the Democratic Party is so anti-white, how come there are so many white Democrats?

Obviously, not everyone thinks like you.

Wrong, I have nothing against women in power who have some common sense. If one is addressing real issues in the wrong way then what good is it and how is that making things better? Hillary, Maxine, Warren, etc. and this latest loon Cortez or whatever her name is are just plain nuts.

And he's especially upset if it's a Hispanic woman in power based on all the hostile rants he spews about Latinos, people speaking Spanish in public, and other mindless xenophobic screeds.

Apparently the "Grab'em by the" remark doesn't qualify as creepy to them. Neither does talking about his daughter in sexual admiration terms either.

The problem with today's Democratic party, as I see it, is that it is hyper focused on identity. The socialistic policy is also starting to become an issue. But, the more (of which there are many) "victim groups" you fall into, the more support you get.

We should have candidates on both sides that run on ideas, values, and morals. Their race/gender/age should have zero significance.
