They should. I'll indoctrinate my children myself, thank you very much.Did they stop making the kids recite the pledge in school?
This. I don't like Hillary, around 60% of the country views her unfavorably which is deserved and an awful statistic for her. But sorry Donnie, you have got to go.Yeah, #### this guy. And #### everyone who's enabled him to get this far.
I just spent too much of my time arguing with friend Funke about how corrupt I think the Clintons are, and I'm still very likely to vote for HRC just to hopefully help send some kind of message to Deranged Donnie and all his misguided minions that he and they will never represent me or my country. I'd rather vote for a candidate that's pretty odious on her own merits than allow such a monstrously messed up person to be President. Patriotism is not voting for this clod. You don't have to vote for HRC, but you just can't vote for this guy.
She is. But that doesn't mean that the continued nativist and racist rhetoric (and the fact that some people evidently agree with it) doesn't make people angry and frustrated.Lot of pent up frustration here. I thought Hillary was a lock?
It's got nothing to do with HRC. It's got everything to do with preventing a dangerously unqualified person from gaining the Presidency. See this man for what he is. This isn't Romney vs. Obama where we can muddle through with whichever one comes out on top. This guy is advocating for the dark ages here. Whether intentionally or not, he's going to #### up this planet to monumental proportions if he gets in. It's debatable whether the damage he'd cause would be reparable, but there will be serious damage.Lot of pent up frustration here. I thought Hillary was a lock?
She is but that would be boring to talk about.Lot of pent up frustration here. I thought Hillary was a lock?
I like this Trump fan schtick of thinking everyone else is melting down or frustrated. Good stuff...Lot of pent up frustration here. I thought Hillary was a lock?
Wow, this sounds exactly like my Obama schtick. Good jobIt's got everything to do with preventing a dangerously unqualified person from gaining the Presidency. See this man for what he is.

Except this time the argument actually has merit.Wow, this sounds exactly like my Obama schtick. Good job
Of course, when it's "your guy" it's completely invalidated.Except this time the argument actually has merit.
Obama wasnt my guy. Didn't vote for him even once. But comparing his experience and Trumps is laughable...as is any danger possible between the two of them based on campaign rhetoric.Of course, when it's "your guy" it's completely invalidated.
Of course, when it's "your guy" it's completely invalidated.
at any attempt to compare Trump with any past candidate on either side in US history. He's an effing reality TV star who wants to spread nukes around to other countries and default on the national debt. He's completely ignorant on virtually every issue, and a total moron. And he's a bigot. Economic and foreign policy experts on both sides have universally condemned his policy ideas. HTH.Actually this may be accurate. He'll certainly try. But given his history it is questionable at best whether he would succeed. Trump 2016!Guys, the system is clearly broken and the only guy we can safely say will not abuse the system to personally enrich himself is Donald J Trump.
The political party system is a cesspool todayI wonder what support for either of these candidates would be like if there were no parties. Partisanship has become a painful affliction in this country for this election. If Trump was running the exact same campaign but as a Democrat, I can't imagine there'd be many Republicans voting for him. Similarly with HRC. Our electoral framework is flat out busted. Couldn't give us even one palatable candidate this election. We're getting it with both fists this time. If I'm mad about anything, this is it. Upsets me to no end that enough people aren't smart enough to see past party affiliation or abandon the political machines behind them and thus we're stuck with these dirt bags.
People forget that Obama was wholly unqualified to be President at the time of his election. While he's done significant long-term damage to the country and it's residents, it's not irreparable. It will be the same if Trump is elected.at any attempt to compare Trump with any past candidate on either side in US history.

This is pure schtick, right?People forget that Obama was wholly unqualified to be President at the time of his election. While he's done significant long-term damage to the country and it's residents, it's not irreparable. It will be the same if Trump is elected.
In the next cycle, we need to elect a boring accountant as President, not some cult of personality dud like Obama or Trump.
Totally agree, on both sides of the aisle. It's a clown show.The political party system is a cesspool today
Obama has been a solid President you doofus. Behind only Reagan in the last 50 years or so.People forget that Obama was wholly unqualified to be President at the time of his election.

It's amazing to me that anyone could write this but I am reminded now that you were a huge Sarah Palin fan and also a fan of that Tea Party witch woman. So I'm not surprised.People forget that Obama was wholly unqualified to be President at the time of his election.

You use that word "solid" and I don't think you know what it means. He's not only been a disaster, but the worst person to ever hold the office.Obama has been a solid President you doofus. Behind only Reagan in the last 50 years or so.
You're a blind partisan hack, so I shouldn't really be surprised. Guess we'll have to see where history stands on him in the coming years.derp derp derp derp derp
You're unfamiliar with his work regarding Sarah Palin? It's all schtick. Bad schtick, but schtick.This is pure schtick, right?
I was a little disappointed that Palin didn't use the gravitas she had at the time to improve herself and take on a more prominent political role. Ultimately she was just satisfied cashing in on what she was. What a waste.It's amazing to me that anyone could write this but I am reminded now that you were a huge Sarah Palin fan and also a fan of that Tea Party witch woman. So I'm not surprised.
Worst person? As in he's a really bad guy who does bad things on purpose? That kind of worst person?You use that word "solid" and I don't think you know what it means. He's not only been a disaster, but the worst person to ever hold the office.
and, right on queue......I was a little disappointed that Palin didn't use the gravitas she had at the time to improve herself and take on a more prominent political role. Ultimately she was just satisfied cashing in on what she was. What a waste.
Obama WAS unqualified. He'd never run anything ever. No executive experience to speak of, and it showed during his Presidency. He's a terrible person, and he's been a disaster as President. Sorry to shatter your bubble.
Oh yeah, he's a petty, thugish, ignorant #####. I'd tell him to his face if I ever got the chance. He's a full blown a-clown.Worst person? As in he's a really bad guy who does bad things on purpose? That kind of worst person?
Thanks Eminence. Sorry for the sidetrack. This thread should be about Trump.How is President Trump doing today?
I would argue only Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter were demonstrably worse. Nixon's presidency ended poorly, but he got more good accomplished than Obama ever did. One can flip a coin on GHW and Gerald Ford. (The reason I don't put W below Obama is that he did act decisively when we were attacked - something I'm not convinced Obama would have done.)Obama has been a solid President you doofus. Behind only Reagan in the last 50 years or so.
And you'd be wrong. Of course you're blindly partisan as well, so...I would argue only Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter were demonstrably worse.

He's universally seen as a good to very good President by both sides. Majority have in in the 2nd quarter of all time with a few sneaking him into the lower part of the top quarter.By attacking the wrong country and embroiling us in a war that cost billions of dollars and thousands of American lives. And all for literally nothing. But he did act decisively so that's all that matters?I would argue only Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter were demonstrably worse. Nixon's presidency ended poorly, but he got more good accomplished than Obama ever did. One can flip a coin on GHW and Gerald Ford.

Yes, he decisively invaded Iraq.(The reason I don't put W below Obama is that he did act decisively when we were attacked - something I'm not convinced Obama would have done.)
Nevermind the fact that if Beuno really is tethered to the stock market (which, given is fundamental lack of mining knowledge vis a vis cobalt, I have my doubts), then he should have done spectacularly under Obama's presidency. His home is worth more today than it was in 2008. Gays can now proudly serve in the military and celebrate their love in marriage. Pot is now legal in a handful of states generating great sources of tax revenues. It's a great time to be alive.And you'd be wrong. Of course you're blindly partisan as well, so...
This post disgusts me. I don't even know where to begin.Nevermind the fact that if Beuno really is tethered to the stock market (which, given is fundamental lack of mining knowledge vis a vis cobalt, I have my doubts), then he should have done spectacularly under Obama's presidency.

You know who's not alive? Bin Laden. The dim-witted "decisive" guy who kowtowed to the religious fundies couldn't do that. Thanks Obama!
Not even sure Reagan is above Obama. Besides Reagan was basically ### his diaper in his last term.Obama has been a solid President you doofus. Behind only Reagan in the last 50 years or so.
Yup, pretty much.And in the process of invading Iraq, he actually did lead to the founding of Isis!
Grown ups are talking. Go back to your corner.This post disgusts me. I don't even know where to begin. The only good thing is the weed.
Obama has been hamstrung too much by Congressional partisanship to be as effective as was Reagan IMO. I disagree with much of what Reagan did, but he was a very effective President.Not even sure Reagan is above Obama. Besides Reagan was basically ### his diaper in his last term.
Acted decisively and started a ridiculous war in Iraq...yeah, it was decisively stupid.I would argue only Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter were demonstrably worse. Nixon's presidency ended poorly, but he got more good accomplished than Obama ever did. One can flip a coin on GHW and Gerald Ford. (The reason I don't put W below Obama is that he did act decisively when we were attacked - something I'm not convinced Obama would have done.)
. Ask any Trump supporter about LBJ and they will look at you confused until you explain to them that the LBJ was president during the Civil Right Act - then watch them foam at the mouth.And you'd be wrong. Of course you're blindly partisan as well, so...
I somehow missed the fact that you included LBJ in there.He's universally seen as a good to very good President by both sides. Majority have in in the 2nd quarter of all time with a few sneaking him into the lower part of the top quarter.
And W is universally seen as bottom five...
How about you begin with the fact that I'm right and you're wrong. Almost always a good spot for you to start. Plus, you were like 8 when GW was in office, so you have no clue, which again, is par for the course.This post disgusts me. I don't even know where to begin.
What part? Gays being able to serve and get married disgusts you?This post disgusts me. I don't even know where to begin.
Let's not overlook the Iran-Contra affair.Not even sure Reagan is above Obama. Besides Reagan was basically ### his diaper in his last term.
Grown ups show each other respect.Grown ups are talking. Go back to your corner.
