I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Trump supporters have a huge disconnect from Trump. For them, Trump is the "reset" button on American politics, the "none of the above" box on the ballot. Trump speaks their language and he's promising what they want to hear: Make American great again. Take America back to the day when things were going better. Remove ourselves from the international web of agreements that are sapping our jobs and our economy. TRUMP is running out of ego, like he does everything. Many times he succeeds brilliantly, but sometimes he fails. Personally, I'm so disgusted with "business as usual", and so viscerally and immediately repelled by Hillary, that I'm willing to turn the table over and vote for Trump, if that's my final ballot choice. In the meantime, my vote is for Sanders. It's a hopeless vote because the Democratic Party establishment super delegates and their ever-compliant "liberal" media have already cast their ballots for Hillary- so much for democracy! If the Republican establishment does anything other than nominate the winner of the primaries, that signals the end of democracy in the USA. -------------- You can't build a nation with bombs.

Quote: Trump has managed to bankrupt 2 or 3 times so far. Are we willing to let his next time be American bankruptcy? - JEWELSTAITEFAN: "Yes," the easily fooled say. Trump is unnaturally good at closing a deal with his patsy. But it is doubtful that half the voters will be charmed by him. About his business experience: In the Plaza Hotel deal, Mr. Trump demonstrated both strengths (an ability to charm or strong-arm, as the occasion required) and weaknesses (a kind of hungry impatience that left him searching for new trophies as soon as one had been acquired). His methods as a political candidate mirror his methods as an executive, say those who have dealt with the latter and seen the former. In fact, the more you know about Mr. Trump’s past, the more his run for high office looks like an effort to close the biggest deal of his life. “He has the ability to imagine what the other party wants him to be and then be that person,” said Michael D’Antonio. “He presents the Trump that will work in the moment.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/what-donald-trumps-plaza-deal-reveals-about-his-white-house-bid/ - SECOND

Quote:Whether or not Trump means what he says, only time and circumstance will tell. But I believe it's a tactical mistake to move forward without a Plan B, or at least Scenario B written about 'what if'. Second has written such a scenario that I think is believable, where we get not only a Trump WH on the take, but also a republican party rampaging in Congress. - KIKI
Quote:Last week, I decided to watch several hours of Trump speeches for myself. I saw the man ramble and boast and threaten and even seem to gloat when protesters were ejected from the arenas in which he spoke. I was disgusted by these things, as I have been disgusted by Trump for 20 years. But I also noticed something surprising. In each of the speeches I watched, Trump spent a good part of his time talking about an entirely legitimate issue, one that could even be called leftwing. Yes, Donald Trump talked about trade. In fact, to judge by how much time he spent talking about it, trade may be his single biggest concern – not white supremacy. Not even his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border, the issue that first won him political fame. He did it again during the debate on 3 March: asked about his political excommunication by Mitt Romney, he chose to pivot and talk about … trade. It seems to obsess him: the destructive free-trade deals our leaders have made, the many companies that have moved their production facilities to other lands, the phone calls he will make to those companies’ CEOs in order to threaten them with steep tariffs unless they move back to the US. Trump embellished this vision with another favorite leftwing idea: under his leadership, the government would “start competitive bidding in the drug industry”. (“We don’t competitively bid!” he marveled – another true fact, a legendary boondoggle brought to you by the George W Bush administration.) Trump extended the critique to the military-industrial complex, describing how the government is forced to buy lousy but expensive airplanes thanks to the power of industry lobbyists.

Quote: House Republicans voted Monday to significantly curtail the power of an independent ethics office set up in 2008 in the aftermath of corruption scandals that sent three members of Congress to jail. The move to weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics was not public until late Monday, when Representative Robert Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that the House Republican Conference had approved the change with no advance public notice or debate.
