Congress has an approval rating of 13%. Looks like people blame congress for the country heading in the wrong direction.
I could understand your point if we were losing a rock solid president. But were replacing obama. So yeah ill be pretty happy if we usher trump in.
instinctively Trump feels too lightweight to have that kind of historical force, feels more like a forerunner to a more substantial figure. but, historically speaking, that's probably naïve - there've no doubt been a great number of seemingly unworthy persons who factored into movements, revolutions, wars, etc......were I a more energetic, less lazy person, I'd research that a bit.....
Oh my. Why is Germany so racist? Send them here, we will give them free medical care and prescriptions.
Did a little searching on that Oct 25, 2015 "article".
Couldn't find any verifications on those statements made by a female doctor.
It does appear to be an email and a youtube clip that's been forwarded along, though.
I found it interesting that people would drag their children half way across the earth and then just dump them for dead at pharmacies.
Troubling times.
George Bush is killing Haitians.
Friday afternoon? Must be time for another FBI doc dump.
Maybe Trump should release one random page of his 2015 1040 every Friday afternoon until election to satisfy the Clinton campaign.

Obviously I haven't seen everything, but going through it, and the after math it's not as much damage as I would've thought listening to the news.
Strip the evangelicals that hold the party back from true reform, keep the fiscal conservation, small gov't and state sovereignty aspects while sprinkling in some libertarians who could actually accomplish something with a true 'brand' of actual merit and the backing it comes with... That's my hope. They have to do something b/c after feigning fits for reform for the past 15 years and then turning their back on a sure thing for reform will be their undoing if they don't conform to the evolving ideals of their actual constituency/electorate.
In this particular scenario, Trump is the wedge. Trump is the catalyst. Nothing more.
I've definitely wondered quite a bit about what happens in 2020 or 2024 when somebody (whether from the left or the right) comes along and champions similar protectionist, populist policy positions but in much less distasteful packaging. Someone who stays focused on anti-free trade, anti-immigrant, pro-low skill labor market policies without mixing in meaningless feuds with Rosie O'Donnell or gratuitous insults, someone who knows how to run a campaign instead of a side show, someone who knows how to manipulate messaging thru the media instead of triggering self-defeating feeding frenzies.
After watching the tidal waves elicited by both Trump and Bernie during the primaries, you have to think that the ground is fertile for such a transformative candidate.
I'd imagine when Clinton becomes POTUS, Chief Justice Loretta Lynch (who replaced John Roberts after his freak plane crash over Kansas on a clear spring day) and Justice James Comey will help ensure we don't have a 2020 election.
Maybe they can find those 2 missing boxes of Hilary's emails that mysteriously disappeared before judicial watch got them.
I'd prefer the nuclear codes go to the person who has been able to keep his tax returns secret up to this point.
Not the one who would likely write them on the palm of her hand so she didn't forget the after another concussion or seizure, and have those codes "accidentally" transfer in ink to the hand of the Clinton Foundation's largest donor after a handshake.

I know everyone is tired of the evangelicals....but how many tens of millions of people is that, how many reliably Republican votes is that - and what do you replace them with? That smells like a sure ticket to permanent minority status....
Rock. Hard place.
And the non-presidential election years? Forget about it. I can maybe see some type of left-right coalition where the left gets significant drug war/criminal justice reform (some aspects of which are bi-partisan enough), the right gets some concessions on tax reform (maybe lower rates but less "loopholes" and deductions? idk), and both get protectionist policies (tariffs and American labor protections that also double as immigration reform?) and less federal government re social policies. Those are the issues I see that can bridge the left/right divide, but man oh man would it take someone unbelievably charismatic.
I tend to agree, but the "transformative candidate" would also have to have the pure coverage factor of Trump. I can't see even someone like Mark Cuban getting as much coverage as Trump has gotten, good or bad.
As painful as this election has been, at least it's given us two catch phrases that will live long past November:
"Can't we just drone this guy?"
#GrabEmByThePussy
"Can't we just drone this guy?"
#GrabEmByThePussy
The dirty little secret is that 'evangelicals' are also typically fiscal conservatives, law abiding, etc.
not sure - there is a sizable group of people, and I assume a ton of millenials, who will naturally recoil from military types.
Millennials by and large will vote Dem no matter what.
The adults are the ones that would elect him.
Another lame and desperate attempt by the left and the media over these secret Trump comments. These comments are from 11 years ago. Bill Clinton is still dicking bimbos even today, just ask Colin Powell. Who the hell cares what Trump said 11 years ago in a private conversation?
Damn, forgot to include "dicking bimbos" on the list of quotes
That has to be the greatest quote of all time. Someone needs to make that a tee shirt.
Now we know why Obama said they are confident Russia was behind the hack.
He is trying to divert some of the damage the emails will create.

Yup Trump is such an asshole.
Ohhhhhh yeah that was respected moderate Colin Powell. Powell now eliminated from running for potus. Mods please ban Colin Powell.
That's not necessarily true. Alot of young people don't trust government, what tends to be pushing them to vote dem are social issues. A Ron Paul type is extremely popular with the younger crowd.
A lot of older people don't trust the government either. A lot of people are smart and not easily fooled. The rest are dems.
Well it isn't for c*cksucker because that is outsourced in the Clinton house.
