Who should be the next president?

[Rev. Powell]

And if Bernie Sanders loses the primary (which he should because the democratic voting machine is fixed) all his supporters are going to move to Trump.

I just do not see that happening. The Sanders supporters I see are all far-lefters who despise Trump, not protest voters.

When Ronnie and I agree on politics, we are definitely living in the twilight zone!!!

 I do tend to see Trump and Sanders as two ends of the same crunchy, craft beer sort of thing. localism and whatnot. with an America First chaser

And people who sit around watching TV and are common people who  dont  know how to deal with international politics-I dont want Archie Bunker running the world-I want some one with half a brain. Electing someone on a gut feeling is dangerous-if you let your heart overrun your common sense is not a good thing-it's like wanting to punch someone in the face when they p**s you off-sure-it feels good when you do it-going to jail for assault -not so good.You have to THINK. Trump doesnt think-he just wants to punch people in the face. Trust me-I been in jail for attacking people.

The original intent on who votes for a president was land owners. They felt that the people who have skin in the game should have a voice. This gets thrown out the window when everybody has a voice, even those that don't own land or pay taxes. So you are going to get people to vote based on self-interest and half-ass commonsense.

The problem (and I believe you had noticed this too) that people took the time out and voted for republicans in 2010 and 2014 to act as the opposition for Obama... and all we got was lies.

Voting for Trump is equivalent to the raised pitchforks, torches and mob justice. I don't see Trump support stopping... And if Bernie Sanders loses the primary (which he should because the democratic voting machine is fixed) all his supporters are going to move to Trump.

I dont think Obama is all that-hell-I aint a Democrat or a Republican-I have no affiliation at all. I just call it as I see it. I think all politictions are liars and-most of all-salesmen. They sell themselves-from laundry soap  commercials to TV shows-its all bulls**t. Money talks-no matter who wins-the money is gonna dictate policy in the long run.

Obama is the worst... Every child that was murdered and raped on the train ride over Mexico to America is Obama's fault.

I think it's funny how Marco Rubio calls Trump a snake-oil salesman... while we do have a record that Rubio was part of the Gang of 8... which makes him a bigger snake-oil salesman.

As for money... even though Trump has lots of money he had spent the least amount (or second to the least). I'm not sure the numbers but they are nowhere near Jeb Bush's +100 million dollars fail.

Wow-do the twist,man-your good at it.

[RCMerchant]

And -Skull-me freind-the Democratic voting  is fixed?
Take your pointy tinfoil hat off-I do believe the Republicans have a history of sneaky stuff-remember Nixon? Tricky Dick was as crooked as they get. As for Obamas fault with Mexicans getting mudered-thats just plain insane.I aint gonna talk about this anymore with you-because you seem to be a fanatic who doesnt equate common sense with facts.-You twist things to fit your view-if it fits-you use it.
Obama killed the migrants-thats crazy talk.

I used to live in Chicago; its easy to see how the Democratic voting machine is fixed. They talk about it on the news all the time. As for the Republicans, well the fix was Jeb Bush and 10+ candidates. The trick was for Jeb Bush to absorb all the donor dollars and all the candidates would be worst then Bush. The Republican establishment really, really believed that the American people would fall for this. Also they were ready to crush Ted Cruz. The Republican and Democrats didn't expect Trump.

And if you don't think the fix is in please explain how Hillary won Iowa and Nevada?

Tinfoil hat? You do know Nixon tapes were about him wanting the IRS to attack his big enemies. Nixon never went beyond his talk. While a few years back the IRS attacked the TEA PARTY... (And yet this has nothing to do with Obama? Really? Really?)

Sure Nixon was bad... Nixon was almost 50 years ago!



Obama and the Children (this is fact!)


On June 15, 2012, President Barack Obama announced that his administration would stop deporting young undocumented individuals who match certain criteria previously proposed under the DREAM ACT.


Do you need a slide ruler to figure why we are having thousands of illegal children crossing the border? Every kid that is murder and raped on a train from Mexico to America is Obama's fault! The blood is on his hands! And no tinfoil hat bs... this is Fn fact!

This is what annoys me when I talk to others about Politics... The facts are there and yet people have blinders.

[lester1/2jr]

living in Massachusettts illegal immigration isn't a huge issue in my life but the DREAM act strikes me as very late stage Roman empire. importing people from other countries to fight wars Americans don't want to fight and rewarding them with citizenship how about just let them come and work and not be citizens

Chicago is a Sanctuary City.


You would think the ultimate goal is citizenship. But it's not. They think they are citizens once they cross the border. They are given foodstamps and money (because we don't want them to go homeless) and they fill in Sanctuary Cities that are drastically loosing the population of hard working citizens. And they do vote, especially in areas that don't check for ID's. The ultimate goal (and in a sense you are correct) to fill in the holes to keep the same political people in office.


Sorry but I'm really sick how Obama is given a pass for this executive order. I do blame everybody in office (including Ted Cruz) for not being loud about the issue. This is why Trump is so freaking awesome, he said he's closing the border and push all those illegal aliens back home... I hope he does but at least I know he was the first to make that stand!

This was what I wrote on my FB earlier today:


Well, 48 hours from now Super Tuesday will be over and done. Votes will be cast, delegates awarded, and the candidates who remain will move on to the next state.
I have been a student of government and history my whole life. I have taught for 20 years, I've read not only the Constitution but dozens of Presidential biographies and books on American government. I'm going to make one simple request of all my friends - if my opinion and judgment mean anything at all to you, read this and think about it before you vote.
I believe every person should vote their conscience. I believe every person should think and pray before casting their ballot. If that conviction leads you to a candidate different than the one I choose to support, I normally have no problem with that.
But I would ask you, please do NOT vote for Donald Trump! I have studied him in detail since this election cycle began. I have listened to his own words, studied his past statements, read up on his business practices and on his personal life. It's not hard to do - he has gone on just about every TV show there is, he's bragged repeatedly about his sexual conquests and proudly acknowledged that many of them were married women. He owns and profits off of strip clubs and casinos. He hires illegal immigrants and has his suits and ties made overseas, then denounces illegal immigration and outsourcing. He tells outrageous lies, and when they are proven wrong, he simply denounces the fact-checkers and keeps on repeating the lies. His knee-jerk response to any form of criticism or disagreement is ridicule, mockery, and insults that I would write up one of my eighth graders for. Finally, if you actually look at what he says, the fact is he has no specific plans for anything. He simply believes he is so awesome that his mere presence in the White House will fix every problem there is. He is wrong. And the price of his wrongness, the price of his ill temper and immaturity, the price of his personal lack of any kind of moral code, will be AT THE LEAST four years of Hillary Clinton in the White House, and AT THE WORST World War III.
So as your friend, as someone who has spent a lifetime studying the Presidency and the history of our country, and as a patriotic American, I urge you -
Vote Rubio. Vote Cruz. Vote Kasich. Vote Carson. Vote Hillary. Vote Bernie. Vote Darth Vader. Vote Cthulhu.

BUT PLEASE DON'T VOTE DONALD TRUMP.

That's it, I'm done.

Super Tuesday can't come fast enough.

Listening to Trump's speeches reminds me of one of the Treehouse of Terror hallowe'en specials The Simpsons do. Two aliens replace Bob Dole and Bill Clinton before the election and then make lots of meaningless speeches filled with buzz words that people like and the public laps it up. The reason I mention it here, is every time I hear a speech from Trump it reminds me of that. Full of big promises but no details on how he is going to actually achieve anything.

Anyway, I need to go build a fence as leaves from my neighbours garden keep blowing into my garden. I wonder if I can make him pay for it...

I think I would have Mr. T to chop the tree down... :)

If it comes down to Trump or Hillary, I think Trump may be the lesser of 2 evils....honestly though, the U.S. needs for both major parties to come crashing down IMO...

Totally agree!!!!

We would never be in this situation if the democrats were less radical and if the republicans pulled their head out of their ass and act as an opposition party. These 8 years was a roller coaster ride from hell. Trump's attraction is more then just republicans. Hillary's last win had a very low turnout...

I think Trump is going to win Texas (which will be a major upset but also a good turning point)... :)

[indianasmith]

He'll never win THIS Texan!!!
