Some say Trumps talking at a forth grade level is part of his genius. He's appealing to the masses. I find it embarrassing and scary.

"They can't beat us at the voting booths, so they're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want. They're trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us, and most importantly, demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution."

I don't want a Putin style dictator. Unlike Trump, and you apparently, I think our Constitution Republic (and democracy) is a great form of government. Trump would end it in a heart beat to be dictator if he could. You love that shit.
What, you think he can prevent white folks from becoming just another minority ? You southerners with your irrational fears crack me up.

Lots of conservatives have jumped ship. More importantly Senators are no longer cowed into doing Trump's bidding. He has proved inept at exerting influence over them. His failed attempts at influencing Murkowski come to mind. Also his having lunch with Senators prior to a vote and excluding the Senators who he needed to win over was another politically stupid move. His lack of political experience and refusal to hire and trust those who have experience is proving to be a liability.

George Will is a principled perpetual loser, who loves warfare and tax cuts.
Nobody under 60 gives a damn what the bowtie wearers of the 90s think.

No productive members of society care what your hero Pewdipie has to say. Further, when his followers graduate from an education system that leaves them with too much free time, they will find something more productive to watch. George Will (or anybody else who can speak seriously and articulately) would be a definite upgrade.

Quiz: Choose the correct statement
1) Donald Trump really believes that illegal immigration at our southern border is a serious problem in recent years and he intends to build a wall will solve it.
2) Donald Trump believed that there were a lot of morons out there that would vote for him if he asserts that he will stop the scary Mexican invasion by building a wall.

You mean the globalist free trade, unlimited immigration ...
Remind me again what Regan was on these issues? How about H Bush? W Bush? The GOP has, for most of my lifetime, been pro free trade and immigration. Plainly put, America has, as well.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, that is their working philosophy. So now all of a sudden antitrumpers love "conservatives," Drudge, Islam, anything antitrump. It will come back to bite them. They are being revealed for their complete lack of principal and pure emotion at being blindsided when the media who predicted Clinton in a landside, let them astray.

what is the liberal idea to make the economy better
See Bernie Sanders.
Pay close attention to the tax reform bills coming from the GOP. You will see. While I agree 35% on business is ridiculous, watch where the cuts really are. Watch how they will fund it.
The GOP is not a champion of the people, and Trump talks a good game, and even if he really believed or cared deeply about his populist message, he still really hasn't done squat for anyone.

TPP would have been signed into law by now if Hillary won. Remember, she never flatly rejected it, she used lawyerly weasel words, giving her an opening to sign it as long as "some changes" were made, which would be largely cosmetic. TPP was beloved of the CoC and Hollywood/Record Industry and had massive bi-partisan wealthy donor support. The text was kept under lock and key, and Congressmen could only see it in the office and could not take even individual pages out for research.
Whatever happens, we must have an enemy. Not the most likely competitor/opponent, China, because that would disrupt outsourcing and wage arbitrage, but somebody else. DC Insiders think the anti-Radical Islam stuff has gone on long enough, they don't want too much attention anymore on Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc.'s role in funding extremism.
I continue to "see it all"... Dems lionizing nutjob corrupt McCain and bowtie windbag George Will.... Demonizing Russia... Pushing for more Bombings... Celebrating Witch Hunts... Conspiracy Theories about the President...
Notice: They don't even fight the Republicans very much at all, just Trump.
The Dems are really doubling down on backing the failed Establishment. This may not end well for them. In fact, I think if they manage to defeat Trump the failure to de-Clintonize the Democrats infighting will return stronger and more divisive than ever. As Trump will no longer be around to unite the various factions of the Democrats in hatred. Bill won't live forever, either.
We live in interesting times.
You can't stop what's comin'.

George Will: Trump disabled by inability to think, speak clearly
Political commentator George Will in his latest column blasts President Trump as someone who is not able to "think and speak clearly."
"It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump’s inability to do either," Will wrote in The Washington Post.
"This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence."
In the column, Will pointed to the president's comments about Frederick Douglass and his recent remarks about Andrew Jackson.
Trump in an interview published earlier this week questioned why the country had a Civil War and suggested Jackson could have prevented it had he served later. Jackson, the nation's seventh president, died in 1845. The Civil War began in 1861.
"Library shelves groan beneath the weight of books asking questions about that war’s origins, so who, one wonders, are these 'people' who don’t ask the questions that Trump evidently thinks have occurred to him uniquely?" Will asked.
"What is most alarming (and mortifying to the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated) is not that Trump has entered his eighth decade unscathed by even elementary knowledge about the nation’s history," he continued.
"As this column has said before, the problem isn’t that he does not know this or that, or that he does not know that he does not know this or that. Rather, the dangerous thing is that he does not know what it is to know something."
Will went on to criticize Trump for some of the comments he made before assuming the presidency, pointing to his remarks on the nuclear triad and the "one China policy."
Will warned that Americans have put "vast military power at the discretion of this mind."
"So, it is up to the public to quarantine this presidency," he wrote, "by insistently communicating to its elected representatives a steady, rational fear of this man whose combination of impulsivity and credulity render him uniquely unfit to take the nation into a military conflict."
