Say what you want about Trump, but he is as qualified as anyone else in the running(that not saying much). Hillary on the other hand is ethically and morally corrupt, a criminal unprosecuted, a scourge to everything right and a reminder of everything wrong in this country. Fuck her...

 

According to the US Constitution, Trump is as well qualified as a Presidential candidate as anyone, perhaps more so than a couple of others.

Those who get hung up on political experience in an elected office as being a qualifier are forgetting how little experience the present guy had. Ironically, the same people (on the left) who cry out that Trump is not experienced, are the ones who defend Obama's numerous rookie mistakes.

 

I cannot speak for within the US but over here Trump comes across as aggressive and dangerously naive!

All the best for the season Tenguy!

Obama initially got elected because Sarah Palin torpedoed the Republican ticket. Beiden was less scary if Obama was assassinated, than Palin if McCain died while in office.

Did anyone else read about how the Republican's need a strategy of how to handle Donald if he gets the nomination?

Does any of that you listed surprise you any at all? The word government is synonymous with corruption so much its pitiful. The politicians and government employees commit more crimes than the rest of the country, but none of them are in prison. Especially major crime, shit we would never see the light of day ever again for, they do and don't even get bitched at for it and hillary is a good example of this.

 

I'm pretty sure it was because more than half the votes cast, were for him.

The problem conservatives have with Hillary is they can never produce the goods. They make great claims, which play well wit their base, but in the light of day, always fall flat. It comes out sounding like a tinfoil hat aliens got my dingo scenario.

After all the hype about the Benghazi Committee, we were expecting a Tom Clancy grade spy thriller, where Hillary turns out to be the evil CIA assistant director who makes a secret deal with terrorist and her part was to leave an embassy defenseless. The committee comes up with nothing but a bunch of people doing their best with the limited resources the had after Congressional budget cuts, and the general confusion of trying to get a job done in a place that is very far away. To top it off, when somebody asks if the committee has accomplished anything, a Republican Congressman forgets he is talking to a reporter and says that Hillary's numbers are down.

Conservatives spend too much time talking to people who believe anything they hear and avoid people who ask the questions they don't want to hear. During the last Congressional election, the man who is now my Congressman walked up to me and introduced himself. I'm sure he assumed since I was a middle aged white man, I was safe.One of his campaign pledges was to "Repeal Obamacare." It was on the little card he gave me. I asked what would happen to the millions of people who would suddenly be uninsured. He says, "There's better ways to do it." I ask, "Like what?'

He had nothing, not even a silly cliche like, "There are better ways." He was unprepared for any question about what consequences of his policies. It didn't really matter. We both knew Obamacare would not be repealed, so why waste time coming up with some sort of viable conservative alternative. "Repeal Obamacare," was what his people wanted to hear. He is fortunate to be running in a gerrymandered district, filled with his people, so he didn't have to work too hard.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough of those people in the whole country to elect any of the current GOP candidates.

 

Palin was a decent MILF, that is just about as far as I will go with her.

Obama got elected for one, well, maybe 2 or 3 reasons, Black, and America was war weary, and tired of a Republican in the executive office.

Who knows, maybe there is some truth to that.

I dont really care, why is the GOP establishment afraid of Trump?

 

Agreed.

No, not so much.

The problem conservatives have with Hillary is that she cant produce the goods, and it is her that has historically proven that she has always fallen flat.

Starkly proving the Hillary is unqualified, it doesn't matter how far away it is, it was still her job to to get things done, keep Americans safe.

So to make the claim that '' the general confusion of trying to get a job done in a place that is very far away'', doesn't fly with me, nor should it fly with you.

WELL, they are.

You asked a legitimate question, your congressman answered with a legitimate answer, the GOP has no concrete plan yet, they will when the time is right.

Obamacare did nothing at all to make our healthcare system any better, and you know that.

It increased costs, killed jobs, limited availability, 24 million are still uninsured, added trillions more to the National debt, it was based solely on a lie, while taxing the hell out of the people and medical.

 

I 'd be interested to know when was the last time you had a "good"
president .
Who would that be ?

All the polava n whoha you seem to go through , seemingly endlessly , to choose and eventually elect a leader ,
yet apparently none were ever any good in recent years.

So , who was your last good president ?

how about the cowboy movie star

 

Washington

 

In my opinion, Calvin Coolidge was this nations best POTUS, he was lazy, never wanted the federal fucking government to get involved in domestic issues, in my mind, that is a damn good POTUS.

 

There's a tendency to confuse healthcare and health insurance. Obamacare addresses health insurance which means access to healthcare. To cry "Obamacare did nothing at all to make our healthcare system any better," is a simple straw man. It's as disingenuous as saying "limited availability,24 million are still uninsured," when you would prefer no one be insured. You don't get to claim it doesn't do enough, when it's doing more than you want.

As for difficult jobs in faraway places, Thousands of Americans have died in the Middle East. The GOP picks out four that don't fly with them. It's too little too late.

I can't wait for the right time for a GOP Heath insurance plan. In the words of Patrick Henry, "If not now, when?" The GOP will never be able to put forth a national health insurance program.

 

With ACA, they go hand in hand, and you know that, you're not that silly.

Everyone in this nation already had access to healthcare.

Some chose that they didn't need it, some did not know what forms of insurance was available to them, some were illegals that had no right to government sponsored healthcare insurance.

Emergenc.y room visits were still available to EVERYONE, legal or illegal, so again, that dog does not hunt.

No it's not a straw man argument.

Obama stated that everyone has the right to healthcare, 24 million still not insured.

Bureaucrats are deciding the availability to your medical procedures now, not your doctor, and certainly not you.

I have never claimed that I want no one to be insured, but I dont want to pay for your insurance, I dont want to pay for my neighbors insurance either.

No, it costs the tax payers and this nation more than we were told it was going to cost, again, based on a out and out lie.

There are still those that have limited availability to healthcare, 24 million or so, not insured.

Apples and oranges here kid, they joined the service, knowing that there could be potential death, it's part of the job that they chose.

Why would they want too?

The GOP does not stand for big federal fucking government, they still (in theory) believe in the free market place.

 

On many occasions I have pointed out, documenting my assertions as usual, that during the presidency of "the cowboy movie star" fewer jobs were created per year than under Jimmy Carter, there was a much longer and deeper recession, higher unemployment, and of course much higher deficits.

Bill Clinton was a great president, but he learned too late that the American people do not want a womanizer in the White House. One can argue that the American people should not care about that, but most of them do. A man who finds monogamy to be confining should go into another line of work. With Bill's talent he could have been sucessful in anything.

 

Today I was at my favorite tavern talking to my favorite tavern keeper. Her brother has cancer of the stomach. Or he had cancer of the stomach. He just had his stomach removed, and he still has cancer. I did not ask a lot of questions. I am fairly confident that he did not have health coverage at work, and was not earning enough money to pay enough insurance to cover a catastrophe like this.

The Republican attitude about people like him is captured in the photo that follows this comment.

It is bad enough that affluent people feel this way. What is really sickening is that low income white Republicans go along with this attitude as well, although before the ACA they were one disaster from dying in the street.

 

I have always liked the Clinton's. The only thing the Republicans have on Hillary are a few fake scandals invented by the Republican Hate Machine. The only people who care about that are a mob of cranks who would never vote for her anyway. My hope is that by November 2016 the electorate will have gotten disgusted with this Republican nonsense.

 

Woah! For a second there, I thought maybe you'd been zombified and possessed by the spirit of a liberal pundit's leg.



What made me think that was, whether it was done by exorcism, or just plain ol' antibiotics, apparently the "thrilly leg demon"no longer inhabits the body (or the leg) of Chris Matthews. (It must be wandering the cosmos, in search of a new host.)

See for yourself.

 

Fake scandals invented by the Republican Hate Machine.

If there was any truth to this nonsense Ken Starr would have made the best - or the worst, depending on terminology - of it during his investigation. Starr was told to get something, anything on Bill Clinton.

He spent fifty million dollars and five years peeping into the windows of the Oval Office and rummaging throughout the White House garbage cans. All he came up with was a lie in response to a question he asked himself hoping Clinton would lie.

Fortunately, Bill Clinton's approval rating went up during this.

During the Clinton administration I would occasionally get one of those fake polls asking leading questions before asking for a contribution. One of the questions was, "Do you know that Bill Clinton sold military secrets to Communist China in return for campaign contributions?"

I would answer "Yes."

The next question was, "If you answered 'Yes' how do you feel about this?"

I would answer, "I approve of what Clinton did."

Those guys never got the point. They kept mailing me their fake poll.

The Clinton years were good years. I hope Hillary brings them back.

Half the fun will be hearing the Clinton haters grumble.

 

As for me I've read about the claims of her transgressions going back to her university days. I say bullshit to it all! Anyone that has done all they claim she did, even the attempted theft of government property,( what a crock of shit that was,no one as rich as the Clinton's would steal a few sticks of cheap furniture and some old china) would be in jail. No one could possibly avoid prosecution on all those charges. They can't continue to smear her, that would be just like saying the federal prosecutors in there right now are all a bunch of crooked ambulance chasers from Chicago. Get real!
