A Question for Democrats (My Rant)

[Brent in Az]

I don't care for Jones. Way too much of a shock jock.

The Democrat party is not what it was back in the day of John F. Kennedy.

The Democrat party has been blinded by it's own arrogance.

I don't Alex Jones but there's no lying he's funny as hell.

"Due to faults I see with Hillary Clinton, I consider voting for Trump"

Wheels,
I understand complete,that you ,Hillary Clinton dislike.
But imagine ,the American army leadership would express so ,like D.T. in his tweets at the moment .
You would say, they lost their mind,wouldn't you ?
Sine ira et studio.

A comment from the cheap seats (that is, someone who isn't living in the US),

The President seems to have a personality issue - if you take him on, he will hammer back twice as hard, on Twitter, or in some other way. My expectation is that many which he wouldn't do that. However, given the abuse he takes in the media, maybe it's no surprise. I grant there may be a chicken and egg issue here, but can you imagine the outrage if the Republicans went after Hilary's (or any other woman's) hair the way the Democrats and the media go after Trump's hair?

Be that as it may, I suggest we look past the headlines. If it were possible, I would suggest we focus on what is done, rather than what is said. A great deal of excellent work is being done to dismantle the "administrative state." Hunters, in particular, should be happy that many of the less than democratic changes implemented by the previous administration are being repealed. On his last day in office, the head of the USFWS issued a ban on lead bullets. Science be dammed, the donors wanted it, so they got it. I could go on, but I won't.

It will take some time to get power out of the hands of bureaucrats and back to the people, but for the sake of those of us who are not in the US, I hope that the President keeps off Twitter, and the good work gets done. We all need an example to follow.

Pretty good analysis, @Hank2211. @Foxi, while I understand your outside of the U.S. point of view, you may also want to look at the trail of dead people associated with the Clintons that perhaps the media in your world has not reported on. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch, but at some point one has to wonder. That little problem that so many in the media wish to ignore concerns me far more than Trump's tweets.

everybody said he would not win doing it his way,he had to change,he DIDNT and he won doing it his way,i hope he never changes.screw the sore losers and blow hards.we won they lost.

 

[CTDolan]

No, @edward , we all lost (and it'd be the same case had Hillary won). Wait, you'll see.

 

[tigris115]

Honestly, I barely if ever talk about politics in my life. I find it boring at best and infuriating at worst.

 

[CTDolan]

Reading the responses, it's so disheartening. Everyone is being played, absolutely everyone. Democrat, Republican, it's all the same. Distinctions are grossly magnified (and then replayed, ad nauseam) so as to force a person into one camp or another, but they're minor. Look at the big picture and you'll see, they're for all intents and purposes the same.

 

[Brent in Az]

Being heavily involved in politics, will probably knock 10 years off my life.

 

[CTDolan]

Furthermore, we live not in a democracy but a plutocracy. Believe me not? Look at the election cycle.

 

[CTDolan]

Agreed. It's important work, though, too important to leave to foolish whim.

All the Liberals are just waiting for us Reagan voters to die off.

I want to write a book on this thread.... but I won't. Bottom line. Things are not as they used to be for "clingers" on both ends. Albeit KKK to hippies.... everything/everyone has been turned upside down & inside out. We are all in a washing machine of what applies, matters or effects us. So much so.... you can be so liberal you are a conservative & so conservative you are s liberal. Hard to tell anymore. It really boils down to many people live a superficial life with heart on sleeve & chip on shoulder. Just waiting for their snowflake to melt. They can't see beyond the tears in their eyes & the protest sign they are holding up. It's a damn crying shame. I consider myself a proud American, historian, 6th Gen Texan, Patriot, etc..... however, I find myself scratching my head saying what the Faaaak happened!!!! When did it become cool & ok... to disrespect your country, liberty, freedom, protection, authority, etc..... again... I could write a book. But I'll spare you.

 

[edward]

No, @edward , we all lost (and it'd be the same case had Hillary won). Wait, you'll see.

i disagree,time will tell.

As a foreigner.....this is what we scratched our heads and wondered about..

Why in Gods name could not America come up with better presidental candidates than Trump and Clinton..??

I think Hanks analysis is quite accurate in that Trump has a serious personality problem. I guess we all thought that he would calm down after the election. He did not.....and there are issues with him giving positions to close family...the russian issue still kind of hanging in the air, Flynn, etc., etc...

Sad really...America IMHO needs strong conservative leadership....Obama was weak and evasive in foreign policy issues..

Nevertheless, Trump is POTUS, so lets see how this goes.....if he at one point becomes intolerable to the Rep. Party....let Pence take over..

I was laughing quietly to myself when I read Wheels rant, I have heard pretty much the same over the years....accused of being a bigoted redneck...and yadiyadiya....so politically we are not that much apart...

 

[BWH]

One thing that people can't seem to get. Is that Trump is & always has bee. The worlds greatest ringmaster. Whether, it creating buzz for casinos, hotels, real estate, women, shows, pageants.... it's what he does. And it has given him great success. Creating tons of jealousy & animosity. Things are really no diff here. He creates all this stir..... and the MSM & snowflakes buy right in and get their bowels in an uproar. It's all a game to him.

 

[Brent in Az]

Democrats are already calling for Trump to be banned from Twitter. Trump has given the Liberals a big slap upside the head. That in itself has been worth the price of admission.

The American people were split on what we wanted. Many were tired of the same old crap and desperately wanted a MAJOR change and the other group loved what Obama did and wanted four more years of it. Thus, Trump and Clinton.

Anyone who thought Trump would calm down hasn't paid attention to him much over the years. He's doing what has always made him successful and what got him elected, so why change? I wish he'd use Twitter differently too, but that isn't him.

As far as most of the "scandals" they are being perpetuated by the media to try and hurt Trump. There is nothing to the Russian investigation in particular. Fake News as Trump would put it. The liberals and the liberal media want Trump to fail so badly that they are willing to take the country down too.

Agree on the conservative leadership, but it's hard to get true conservatives elected anymore. My country has become weak and more interested in what will be given to them by government than wanting to know what they can do to help fix the country.
