You are assuming that the future elections will be honest.

how many people in this forum are actually politicians or knowledgable in foreign/domestic affairs or economics? i'm not trying tp pick a fight but it seems like many here have all the answers so I'm wondering why these solutions are not being put into place if they're are common knowledge

it's easy. it's called special interests. politicians are bought.

I think it's too early to tell what kind of President he will be. He has some ideas but they may or may not come to fruition. The President does not get to do whatever they want but people seem to think anything and everything that happens is a direct result of the President saying "do this" or "do that". Nope.

And I have no doubt that after 4 or 8 years people might be looking for a conservative Republican leader....that's sort of how thing whole thing works isn't it? Both sides take turns.

I will address the post you typed, which I actually thought needed no further addressing.



it's not so much how stupid he is, it's how much of a politician he is. he's a puppet. but since you mention his stupidity, how many states in the US are there again?



got any examples? I have found him to be a total dimwit. he looks and appears confused at all times. this is why he needs so many czars. he has no clue what he is doing. I think this statement by you is totally off base.



the most disturbing of your comments. first of all, this isn't north korea. we don't have "rulers." secondly, who in the last 30 years has been conservative? were you just kidding? coolidge was the last conservative, and that was about 100 years ago. lastly, as for barry the wonder idiot going down as one of the best presidents. um, it's impossible. all we can look forward to is a president that won't totally suck. barry has sucked in every decision he has made so far, but he still has time to redeem himself. but as for ever having a good president again, get real. too many special interests, and barry is nothing but a corrupt political slave.
So, I guess that answers my question of whether you're able to actually provide a well-reasoned intellectual response.

This is nothing but baseless opinion and and childish ad hominem insults (including the phrases "totally suck" and "barry the wonder idiot") with nothing to support your claims.

I gave you a chance to prove your intellectual worth in this discussion and all I got was what feels like the school meat-head pushing me into the locker and grunting something incoherent. I'm genuinely interested in mature discourse, so please respect my wishes that you not respond to my posts.

Thank you.

Anyway, as I asked, please just don't respond to my posts. I'm genuinely interested in mature intellectual discourse.
I will respond to whatever the hell I want. your post was ridiculous. you claimed that we have rulers, and we have had all conservatives in office for 30 years. you have answered all my questions, and that is you have no clue of what goes on in washington. please leave the absurd posts to yourself.
