Now that Romney voiced his opposition to Trump . . . along with Glenn Beck, Bill Kristol and the GOP establishment . . . I know that Trump is the appropriate candidate to occupy the White House.

When your own party loathes you more than the opposition, he's the guy who will bring change . . . within the party and the country.

Go Donald!

The career politicians are scared that they will have to work like "gasp" the private sector.

The last time Hillary was in the white house she had one job to do. Bill outsourced that job to Monica.

Bill always chose someone other than Hilary, shouldn't we?

I couldn't agree more.....choosing between her and Trump is like choosing which is better, to be stabbed or shot

Couldn't agree more Tiki.

I just watched much of his speech from Maine. Almost all of the speech was focused on business. Namely, NAFTA and our trade deficit with China.

I'd welcome the chance o see him take a shot at returning us to greatness, as he likes to proclaim.

When the alternative is simply 4 more years of the same political stalemate that we face now, why not?

I like some of the things Donald Trump says. I would like to bring back businesses to the U.S., create more jobs, keep the illegal people out and most of all, quit giving them benefits paid for by the US taxpayers, etc....That is why Trump is good at this, i.e, he tells you what you want to hear. He talks the talk, but he will never go beyond that. He will not produce what he is promising to his followers. It is just talk......He does not have the temperament, disposition, diplomatic skills, etc. needed to accomplish all that he promises. The US has to depend upon its allies, and engage in negotiating with World leaders to maintain financial health and the safety and welfare of its citizens.....It is more complicated than resolving trade issues with China.

I have heard the UK and now another country are debating whether to even allow this man into their country. How can he be our spokesman with his disastrous people skills? He would have our country engaged in WW111 and no question, our young people would be going to war on our soil. He shouldn't be elected to the Presidency just because he says things we agree with..... because none of those promises will ever come to fruition....It is just more complicated because we have to co-exist with other countries and therein, lies a big reason we can't actually do all the things Trump proposes. We simply can't live in isolation from the rest of the World....so hopefully, his followers will come to their senses and stop him before he can do any more damage and before, he completely destroys our great country.

MS, your comment about Gov't being stalemated over past 4 years, I think it is more that no action could be taken because of an obstructionist Congress. They clearly weren't working for the people who voted them into office and did everything they could to block any bill presented by the Democratic administration.

I don't know Blueberry, there's something smarmy about career politicians.

I'm not sure any of them have our best interests at heart.

Why not let an outsider see what they can do?

Someone who won't pander to special interests or lobbyists?

It's an interesting idea for sure.

[Maggot]

I believe Andrew Jackson was the last non-politician elected to the presidency.

Surely, you can spot hot air when you hear it! Just one example, if any of the women on Mock who go to their jobs every day, think that Trump is going to fight for equal pay, you are wrong.....this is just one small thing maybe to some of you, but our country as a whole, has not made that much progress since the 1950's. I obtained my first job in the mid 50's and yes, I have seen progress as far as equal rights and all that other stuff, but we really lag behind other countries.....Trump (and other politicians are going to stop abortion. I want the fucking politicians to quit sticking their noses into what a woman does or does not do with her body....I am all for the bill some woman politician proposed (sorry, can't think of her name), requiring men to get permission from their wives to get prescription for Viagra. I agree with this BTW. hehe

Why have other countries made more progress on some of these issues?

[Maggot]

I wonder if Hillary is elected would Obama pardon her before she takes the oath?

Trump (and other politicians are going to stop abortion. I want the fucking politicians to quit sticking their noses into what a woman does or does not do with her body....

He obviously has to say something when questioned about abortion, but I don't get the feeling that outlawing abortion is high on Trump's priority list. I think that's the least thing you'd have to worry about with him.

[Maggot]

There are plenty of senators up for re election. The Dems should start grooming them. That's where the juice is.

Oh, IMO, he is a complete asshole and I just used those issues as one example. Also, he does like to repeat it in just about every speech he makes....The speech he made with Christie standing behind him looking like he was going to be beheaded by ISIS.......he mentioned it again, "I will repeal ACA......and "I will stop abortion." This is all about his having control of women.....he will always have his trophy wives, though...as long as she doesn't think for herself and does what she is told.

[blueberryhill]

IMO, I think George W. Bush would be first in line to be pardoned.....followed by specific members of Congress for their criminal acts.

Hillary for President!!!!!!!!!

I believe Trump wants to stop federal funding for elective abortions . . . NOT ban abortions.

Too bad the brothel girls didn't endorse Trump. I'd love him to include, in his platform, legalization of prostitution.

Talk about giving a woman the absolute right to her body!

Besides . . . "Hump for Trump!" has a nice ring.

[HairOfTheDog]

There is no federal funding for elective abortions. Trump knows that, so do all of his competitors. Federal funding for abortions has been prohibited by the Hyde Amendment for 40 years. It's just religious/conservative-peddled spin when politicians and leaders mislead the public into believing otherwise.

It's amazing how many people swallow the bullshit whole, even though the federal law has been in place for so long and is accessible to all, and it's closely monitored and has not been violated.

The ultra conservative spin-masters know that the small percentage of Planned Parenthood business that comprises abortions is privately funded, not government funded.

For those spin-masters who bother to attempt rationalizing their misleading rhetoric, their claim is that if the government ceased to fund all of the great female and family health services Planned Parenthood provides, Planned Parenthood -- the largest provider of LEGAL PRIVATELY-FUNDED abortion services -- would cease to exist.

Some bullshittin' conservative leaders and politicians went so far as to claim that an edited sting video of Planned Parenthood reps discussing legal reimbursement for the cost of donating life-saving elective stem-cell tissue from aborted fetuses was actually for-profit killing of late term fetuses in order to harvest baby body parts (which is illegal by federal law). That's also been proven to be complete bullshit in state courts over and over since the allegations were made; Planed Parenthood has been cleared of the false allegations in every court; the sting video con artists, on the other hand, were indicted by a Grand Jury.

So, for me, Trump's recognition of the excellent non-abortion services Planed Parenthood provides puts him in front of his GOP competitors on that issue. However, his threat to stop making those excellent services available to millions of women and families across the country in order to force Planned Parenthood out of business just puts him at the top of the bottom of the barrel.

In reality, Trump's changed his position so many times depending on the audience and his personal goals, I wouldn't be surprised if his threat to defund Planned Parenthood was back-pedaled completely if he were elected President.

I don't believe any of them have any plans to change shit other than nigger rigging this and that to make it appear they actually did something without changing anything. It's all guided which is why I don't much care. My life and your life will remain the same whether Trump or Cruz or Hillary or Bernie or whoever is elected president.

[BlueTiki]

I believe the Hyde amendment didn't become "permanent" until 2015.

If I recall, Pelosi was pissed.
