It gives me pause to think of Donald Trump as the President of the United States when the man can't even handle dealing with a Moderator that he dislikes. A man who is as nasty & uncouth as he can be proclaims if people aren't going to be nice to him, he won't play, he'll take his marbles and go home and then demands an apology.
I don't know how that freak is able to push my bitch button the way he does.
He is scarier if he doesn't get elected, simply because of the power base he is building of angry violent bigots. Mobs are stupid as a rule. Mobs united under the guidance of a charismatic but dangerously flawed leader...well that's a whole other level of frightening.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

Nothing about foreign policy, or anything he needs to know to be a leader.
Politicians have forgotten how to run a country though.

Hi, Mrs. Bee,
In the olden days, they said this kind of stuff would sell papers and I think it is about the money, again....sigh....
His latest antics are food for fodder and we love to talk about how horrible he is...for sure, he isn't as boring as the other guys and gals.....but it is entertainment, except that some of his followers don't know that.....
I have said this before, he will never be President because as stupid as some people are, the smart people out number them, and would and will not ever vote for him.....Trump is on a ego trip and i don't think he will go to the end....I am thinking probably the good looking one, well, better looking than the rest, that Rubio guy......will make it to the ballot on the Republican side of the fence. I think someone here on Mock said if they had a choice, they would do him...I personally would not put a lot of stock in Iowa at this time......
Don't you think the press/media just wants to shock us all?...I don't think they are intimidated by him at all.....I agree that he is getting all this publicity for free, the cheapskate....and you are absolutely correct, he knows nothing about running a country...He would have every nation in the World bombing us cuz he just pissed off another country.

BG, I'm just trying to find out if he spoke for the veterans, if he was expressing THEIR wishes. I'm pretty sure that if you were to ask a veteran that needed funding for rehab and couldn't get it due to a lack of funds, he/she wouldn't feel as though he was expressing his/her wishes.
Well, the question is whether they're an advocacy group or an aid group. The two are at odds in this case. Either the guy is too involved in politics to help his target segment, or he's correct to strategically ignore funds based on the political interest of the group. He's the CEO, so he gets to decide which hat he wants to wear. It also should affect donation habits. If I want to protect vet rights, I donate to him, if I want to help vets financially, I look elsewhere.
Ultimately, he can't block Trump's gamesmanship. He can criticize it, and any policies that hurt veterans, but Trump can give money to the next charity. One focused on aid. Or he can start his own charity. There's no dependency there. And there's no conflict of interest for an aid group. Politician may run a close third to drug dealer and terrorist, but their occupation is still generally accepted in America.

Yes, I think he would make you his VP, but you might have to kiss his ass, but seriously, I think you two, could be besties......
Also, i think his "charity" move and donating a million to veterans is probably the most despicable, disrespectful action he could have taken.... for you dummies, not the million dollars, but the motive of the "gift." Most Vets see through this deplorable act.....hmmm....let's see who I can buy today...oh yeah, today it is Veterans who, by his own admission, doesn't respect them if they managed to get caught and become a POW. Even Trump doesn't believe his own words......As someone, who petitioned for POW's during the Viet Nam war, and wore my silver bracelet with POW's name on it, go eat shit, Trump....condescending POS......not you FU, but Donald...

I wonder if we'll ever get a candidate (this race or next) that I can feel good/certain about.

This was driving me crazy, too, and I think it looks funny because there is a coat hanging on a hanger behind him or maybe it is a person.....at times i think i see the edge of another face or again, it could be my bad eye...but think he looks hunched over because of the coat hanging behind him....just looked again, no, don't think person is standing behind him so it has to another overcoat....

That's exactly what it is. A coat hanging on a hanger and it lines up perfectly with his own shoulder.

Sounds like they found proof that top secret shit was on Clintons server and she denied it. liar liar, bad bad bad. But I guess lying about shit like that shouldn't disqualify her from running for office.

I don't see it as bullshit. She had top secret government info on her private server and lied about it.

Are you aware that it's been confirmed that she complied with the laws & regulations during that time and it wasn't until she left the State Department that the National Archives issued a recommendation that government employees should avoid conducting official business on personal emails? Furthermore, it's common practice that previous unclassified information is upgraded to classified if there is a belief it is going to be released to the public. There is way more and I could go on but I'm curious to know just how much you actually know about this particular subject. So, what do you know for fact?

You're saying I am close minded and I'm not. I'm open and I'm thoughtful and while I make jokes about being blinded by love in regards to Bill I am not dumb nor unrealistic. So, what do you know that I don't?
