the state of the American people. Too often, Americans like to blame all of their problems on the government and the media. This November 8, there will be nowhere left for the American people to point their fingers other than into their own mirror. This man has not hid his intentions and temperament. This one will be TOTALLY ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Wasn't GW Bush "TOTALLY ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE"???

The judgement of the "AMERICAN PEOPLE" when it comes to politics is nothing but fanatism, most people feel more loyalty for their party than for their country, so they are going to vote for Trump no matter how shocked they have been at times from the bull Trump spews on a daily basis.

It is very concerning that with all the vile rhetoric that trump has graced us with for almost a year now, the barbarities that have come out out of his mouth, the facts about his business dealing and how he has screwed up most everyone he has done business with that so many people still support him, that unprincipled people like Rubio, Ryan, etc., after Trump ridiculed them, is still supporting him. I don't like Ted Cruz at all, but you have to admire his stance against Trump, but the rest? a bunch of whores.

They propose the exact same policies that the idiot son pushed. Hardly any of them will admit Iraq was a horrible mistake. Brownback got re-elected in Kansas as well as some of these other horrid governors. I wish I was more optimistic, but unfortunately, I am not.

All those Trump supporters will be slithering into their hidey holes PDQ after he gets smashed on Election Day.

I recall someone who pointed out you could go to Mitt Romney's Facebook page and just keep refreshing, and you could see his "likes" decline in number, quite rapidly -- those days after he lost the election.



No one wanted to be on record as having supported him, after that.

8. Is that a real question?
Wed Aug 24, 2016, 08:29 AM

"Quick. Someone remind me why supporting Trump is bad."

1. He is a con man, he is a liar, a bullshitter.
2. He has no principles.
3. He will create International conflicts just because he is an egomaniac
4. The man has no clue about running a business and least of all running a country, doesn't understand the constitution and he really wants to be a dictator.
5. Because like GW Bush, he is surrounding himself with crooks, racists (David Duke KKK), unprincipled opportunistic people. The destruction he brings to the economy and the World will surpass that of GW Bush

And I can go on, and on...but I feel those five points should suffice to answer your question.

Or are you really so unfamiliar with the concept of being responsible for one's actions after-the-fact?

It's precisely this kind of "well I don't see what the big deal is" posturing that destroys people's credibility. Good luck rebuilding yours.

You're either with Hillary or you're for Trump. Voting for anyone but Hillary makes you an enabler of Trumps policy ramblings.

would like to believe Trump and his hating minions will go away after the election I believe it to be nonsense. He will be visible on a daily basis spinning conspiracy theories to his cronies. He is not going anywhere and the people who support him are certainly not going anywhere. This is the new "conservative" party...
