Do we vote for corruption at its absolute worst, criminal behavior, lying, destroying emails, enriching yourself with your political position to the highest bidder, having a calloused disconnect to Americans who put themselves in harms way for us all, lying, late term abortions, divisional, strict gun restrictions, lying, corporate owned liar?

Or

Do we vote for a locker room talker amongst the boys, a real true outsider, someone who wants to put America before the world, one who categories beauty in women, believes in actual American sovereignty, anti PC straight talker, business man who builds great things and wants to do the same for America?



I don't know. I suppose it depends upon what you identify with more. I tend to gravitate to the latter, but then again, I think the biggest problem in government is corruption, and so I like to vote against it. It's just my thing I suppose. Some may really identify with the corruption in Washington

This country voted for Obama two terms. The apathy and lack of foresight from American citizens is scary.

Do we still believe that America is a country that lives up to the precepts of its founding, a country that can stand as a beacon to the world that can say proudly: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

or

Do we give in to fear and darkness, to the worst demons of our psyche, to retreat behind the walls both metaphorical and possibly literal to let the bastions of tyranny in Russia and China claim the mantle of leadership in the 21st century. Do we turn inward and reject the values our founding and surrender the greatness that made us the envy of the world.

I'm just curious about how categorizing beauty relates to anything political.

I'd say the litmus test is regarding gullibility.

People are too caught up in personal non political beliefs. Next election since this is the trend I'll just pick my
candidate based on which pasta sauce they prefer

So, what has Hillary built? Obama says she didn't build anything, and in this case, I'd wholeheartedly agree with him. She has built nothing but a rap sheet of pure unadulterated corruption at the highest levels in Washington.

They know nothing of real estate development or how casinos operate or you know any large business and seem to think those things aren't hugely political and require palm greasing and making friends in high places.

Nothing. Unclear what that has to do re your gullibility over Trump's superhero status.

Good thing it's just a poem, and not in our constitution.

He's a political outsider in that he's never held a political office, and not beholden to a political entity which explains why he is disliked by both party elitists equally, as he presents a threat to both equally, and as it should be.


If you dislike the Washingon establishment, he's a God send. If you love the Washington establishment, he's your sworn enemy, regardless of party affiliation

If you're really serious about wanting to throw a wrench in the machine, then now's your chance. Don't frick it up.
