Yet you just described the ones running for the democrats except maybe Gabbard.
"It is so stressful keeping up with his antics." lmao Really? You get stressed out over Trumps trolling? Children fall for that. So a promotion at work or a safe neighborhood or your team just won the Super Bowl but because Trump trolled that somehow ruins your day and stresses you out?
Learn what's important. It's always about policy and at this level if its failed before, it will fail again. They aren't a high school QB who can dominate a football game at this level. it's never about the person, it's always about their policy.
America is much, much better off than it was 4 years ago.
I'm one of those American's that doesn't give a rat's a** what the rest of the world (who is on our tit) thinks about us.
How's that? Trump has set us up for an economic collapse. He piled on the national debt and pushed interest rates down to juice the economy. There are no tools left in the economic toolbox to dampen the cycle. When the recession comes, it's going to be really ugly. This isn't a casino or office tower project where you can borrow money, have the project fail, declare bankruptcy, and stiff the investors.
The only "control" you have left is voting for Trump/the SUPREME COURT. If the dems get the next seat (or three) installed on the Supreme Court, this country will effectively be over. Finished.
So you had better vote for Trump if you understand the SCOTUS situation a little more clearly. There is a lot to not like about Trump, but he will not put another anti-American stooge on the SCOTUS, that much is certain.
I'm not offended by what he says (it's the policies that upset me) but it definitely is a put off as I said a long while ago because my father had similar issues. Everything was someone else's fault. Trump may not have gambling issues like our fathers but the ironic thing is one of his businesses that went bankrupt was a casino. He reminds me so much of him and a man like that does not make a good leader. Weirdly my father was a registered Democrat last I knew of him but somehow he acts so much like him.
Thanks! I'm so tired of Trump supporters trying to suggest what Trump says is not as important as what he does (or does not do). As if what Trump says is not important OR that what Trump does or does not do is not subject to significant criticism as well? These efforts to divert attention away from all that is wrong about Trump is exactly why it's hard not to sense the seeds of fascism among Trump supporters.
To put it another way, "you simply cannot paint a turd!"

Much like I just posted in another thread about this...
Let's face it...
Which American can point to any candidate and claim their choice is the absolute best anyone could hope to see run for POTUS? 100% perfect? Flawless? All have their shortcomings, significant at that, just like most the rest of us, so as always it really simply boils down to picking better rather than worse, and of course that decision will largely be a function of ideology and what understanding we have of what is going on around us.
I cringe at those who think they serve any good purpose voting for other than what typically boils down to one of two candidates who actually has the necessary following to get elected. The third choice more often than not simply siphons votes from who they would pick of the two main candidates and thus puts their least favorite choice a better chance of winning. The "protest vote" or no vote is just dumb from a political pragmatic standpoint, much as we all can't believe these candidates are the best America can produce.
Also, for me anyway, it's simply a matter of which candidate points in the direction most in line with what I see is necessary to help America move forward and make progress in the most important ways rather than backward. As we see now with Trump and also with the other candidates, the extremes are checked by Congress and local governments such that whatever movement is never quite as radical as voters fear no matter which candidate voted for. Really it's about direction. Slow and incremental direction backward or forward.
Given the many areas of politics or issues that define why I lean more liberal than conservative, it's always very hard for me to vote for Republicans rather than Democrats no matter how much the promises and agendas can seem pretty far fetched. A great wall that Mexico will pay for is no less a "stretch" than anything Sanders or Warren proposes and as long as Congress always has the money to do whatever we want, regardless budgetary concerns, mostly we all just keep kicking the can down the road until what will happen and when? I really don't know...

AKA "the ugly American."
