    It's amazing that they ignore this and view their hero as "an outsider."

    Orange Crush is blinding, if nothing else.

    1. We agree on the fact that accepting money crom lobbyists is corruption. That's why Hillary is the last of corrupt establishment politicians standing
    2. Her speaking bribes go to her personal account which is significantly worse
    3. Trump has most definitely palyed the game as absolutely every single successful businessman has
    4. Creating the environment of corruption and accepting bribes while in public office is infinitely worse than having no choice but to offer bribes in order to support and grow your business.There's absolutely no comparison, the former is the betrayal of voters, the later is an unavoidable business decision.

    Obvious!y, for anyone to consider voting for Trump, they need to be "blinded" to many things.

    Reality being chief among them.

    Possibly Bill is fair game. Concerning "fair game": As a presidential candidate, Trump's tax returns are fair game; his past in offering bribes in return for campaign contributions is fair game; his past in bringing a casino to bankruptcy, and his other bankruptcies are fair game; his sexual escapades while married is fair game; his flip-flopping is fair game; his 'new ideas' of which many will never be instituted is fair game; his outsourcing of his clothing line is fair game; his draft dodging is fair game; and his most ridiculous hair, and big fat ass is fair game; as is his wife's accomplished career as a nude model.

    As far as Hillary doing something to stop the housing bubble, they are over 400 Representatives and 100 senators, a conservative president, and his everyone in his cabinet. None of them lifted a finger to stop the corruptions that caused the bubble. Why single out Hillary?

    LOL at your almost psychopathic defense of the Donald. Corruption is corruption whether it is the person offering the bribe, or the person taking it. Giving bribes to politicians so a to "accomplish" something is a betrayal of democracy, and therefore voters.

    At least Hillary has never been a casino owner or a reality TV show host come presidential candidate. She was First Lady, a senator, and Secretary of State. That beats reality TV host, and casino owner. Oh you can cite all his business accomplishments, but some say if he would have kept his trust fund in the market instead of venturing into real estate he would be worth more money than he is now. Just saying.

    Absolutely everything about Trump is fair game, did you expect an argument? :D And he has in fact been attacked constantly and viciously, albeit unsuccessfully on all these issues.

    Hillary is "singled out" because she is the one who is running, because her claims of experience and "fighting for us" notwithstanding, she has precious nothing to show in the way of accomplishments and successes. Because her judgement has been consistently bad, because she is the embodiment of the establishment and is running as such.

    On what planet are an elected public servant unwilling to move a finger without a bribe and an applicant forced to pay it because otherwise he is totally screwed equally corrupt? Seriously dude, this moral equivalence is laughable.

    Yeah, Mr. Reality TV Host, and Mr. Connection to the Mob, and Casino Owner is blinding--alright. (Strange careers for someone who graduated from the Wharton School of Business). I do wish he would have continued in his 'career as TV host'. He was just pretending then and it suited him. He takes himself very seriously now.

    You play the "moral equivalency" game too; except in your game all the negatives are about Hillary. You're blind to Trump's negatives. Occasionally someone should mention that Trump is not an upright guy.

    I think you put the cart before the horse. Which comes first: the corrupt politician or the lobbyists? I doubt that too many of the corrupt politicians went into politics simply to collect bribes. I think if anyone had to play the game or lose out, it is the politicians. They learn quickly who holds most of the power, and that is corporations and their lobbyists.

    I"ve repeatedly and willingly admitted that Trump is no saint by any stretch of imagination. But the onus is on politicians, not lobbyists (Trump is no lobbyists either, they work for industries and organizations, not individual businesses). Guess why the onus is on politicians? Because they are elected public servants entrusted to represent the interests of the American people. It's in their job description to resist the temptation. And when they fail, betray the public trust and sell their souls to the highest bidder, they must immediately be thrown out. It really is that simple.

    The main reason to love Trump is that he drives lefties crazy.....keep up the good work of attacking him. I love the daily meltdowns by Trump haters.

    Sometimes I do wonder whether democracy is the right thing.

    I'd be okay with trying authoritarian rule with Trump for 8 years. A real quick way to clean up all the mess and damage. :)

    Hate to break it to you. They usually don't leave office willingly. So you would be signing up until death do you part.
    Furthermore you need to go back to ancient time to find good "dictators". In recent times they have all been pretty bad. Except maybe Salazar.
    Of course Salazar was an economist so he was quite atypical for an authoritarian.

    Lol! What a pitiful excuse to support a guy who would sell you out for a wet sock if he needed one.

    Let's say Reagan was 40 years old at the time he was elected. I would have no problem with him leading America for his entire life.

    Once the Alzheimers was evident, he could have been easily removed, and Reagan would have stepped down anyway.

    30 years of Reagan, or Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama?

    When you get a good one, keep them.

    The lefties sure tried with FDR.



    And, that being said, I'm 100% against no term limits in America, and the biggest reason is Obama and the changing (deteriorating) demographics in this country.

    Authoritarian rule has to be taken, and backed by the military and a large group of citizens for it to work.



    The military loves Trump, btw.

    Why would I care?

    I think Gitmo is great. We should fill it up to the brim with jihadists.

    And Cultural Marxists :D

    A lifetime of Reagan? Sweet Jesus. That would have made the US into something Huxley imagined.

    How so?

    Winston Churchill would be another leader I would have given lifetime rule to.

    Teddy Roosevelt.

    Read "Brave New World".

    Churchill? He was charismatic and the right man at the right time. He was no politician though. Losing the fist election two months after the war should have told you this. To lose that election you really really had to come up with a (*)(*)(*)(*) platform to lose.

    I've read Brave New World, and I see no connection to Reagan.

    Churchill wouldn't need to be a politician if he had lifetime rule, would he?

    Being a politician is the problem.

    Which is why Trump is so great.
