All ,Reagan through to Obama all respected the Office and the Job (again not about politics) not trump.Be it his tweeting,his off the cuff remarks ,his abuse of the press,his personal attacks on everyday Americans.His demeanor is detrimental to the way this country runs.The way he carries himself when representing America in other countries,it's a sin.

Election Day
What exactly did Hilary do to be more reviled than an absolute piece of garbage of a human being like Trump? I’ll never really understand that.

Re: Election Day
To be clear, my main problem with Hillary was the DNC propping her up and not giving Bernie a fair shot, and the fact that she ignored the middle class. Now that she's out, my main problem is with the DNC. If half the people want Bernie and the other half want Hillary, it needs to be properly settled. Instead you had DNC committee members that didn't care if the majority of the population wanted Bernie, they were going to vote for Hillary in the primary because it was the right thing to do. But even after all that, I still think Hillary would have been the lesser of two evils. I don't think I need to explain all the problems I still have with Trump.

The best I can say is that Trump wears his persona on his sleeve. Is he a sleaze yea, but he is a genuine sleaze. HC is far more deceitful and vindicative then Trump could dream to be, but like Lucifer she comes as an angel of light, and that makes her evil far more insidious.

Re: Election Day
To me it never was Hillary the person, but Hillary and her leadership role within the Obama administration where she was an absolute failure.

Re: Election Day
Also curious, had Bernie been the candidate, would Trump still be your choice? But you're right, the fact these are the two the country settled on says a lot.

Re: Election Day
I would not have voted for Bernie, I am a full blown Adam Smith capitalist, and feel that Bernies socialism will destroy what built the US. That said put John Kasich on the Republican ticket or have a Libertarian party that had a shot at winning and I would have voted for them in lieu of Trump.

Re: Election Day
I see the sarcasm font but I have never understood how conservatives ever considered Obama a socialist. He was the furthest thing from a socialist in my opinion, much of what he did was to try to compromise with the republicans but they always had to fight it full tilt even if it was an agenda they once supported and agreed with.

Re: Election Day
Socialism in general is destroying the country. It is fulfilling deTocqueville's oft quoted statement about the governed learning to write themselves checks.
We are in a very common cycle of nations, and unfortunately we aren't in the growth side any more. As one cartoon character would say "We're doooomed I tell ya, doomed" |

Re: Election Day
Interesting.
The part that mostly blows my mind is he acts like he's an "every man". Thanks for answering all my questions, it's good insight. I have another one, lol, do you think he personally cares about you? I could easily have said that for every president since I've been born except for him. I just think he only cares about his perception.

As for Democrats, if I was partying with Bill I think he would care about me, if I could get him the right things - if you know what I mean. Personally as your stereotypical middle class white male Army vet making an income at a level just above where I would qualify for any government assistance, I am fairly confident that Obama would have held my life in disdain. Reagan is the last one I felt really cared at the individual level. Before that Carter did too. I was too young to know or care about Johnson, Nixon or Ford. A different question, same concept- do you feel that the previous Presidents cared about the US above the rest of the nations. I feel Trump does, and that's really more important than if he cares about me personally. I want the President to look at the US and think that's MY country and I'm proud to be the leader of it. I truly don't think Pres Obama felt that way every day he woke up. I think Reagan exuded that from every moment of his life. I think Both Bush's and Clinton felt it, but at the same token, looked at the US as one among many. Again, too young to give my thoughts on before Carter. (I think Carter felt it, but again felt we shouldn't express it confidently). |
