    So why does your party have an electoral style primary, not a popular vote?

    Trump's favorables weren't good before his election, nothing new.

    And it is the LW who tried to disenfranchise 63,000,000 Trump voters, and are still at it.

    Don't worry you will be perfectly safe in the DR CONGO, well unless you speak publicly about the politician there!

    Well in the DR Congo this sort of grand standing is not allowed, so when there is no threat of long sleeve short sleeve rule of law their speakers get a little over zealous..

    Democrats have always been about tearing down the country.

    Leftists are always smarter than the voters. That's often why they find democracy irksome.

    I'm a Leftist agree with the poster. The Left have become Orwellian, all over the Western world.

    And not just in America. Consider what they tried to do with Brexit.

    Appalling abuse of democracy.

    I would say they literally hate democracy, at this point. It's well past 'irksome', now.

    Lincoln got lots of hate too. As Lincoln biographer David Donald put it, “Lincoln’s own associates thought him ‘a Simple Susan, a baboon, an aimless punster, a smutty joker.’” Abolitionist Wendell Phillips called him “a huckster in politics, a first-rate, second-rate man.” George McClellan, his opponent in the 1864 election, openly disdained him as a “well-meaning baboon.”

    Evil doesn't always show up in a scary clown suit. Evil is often polished, charismatic, and has good intentions. I will agree with you that Trump is evil, but he is the lesser of evils.

    So by that definition it is obvious that Trump is a leftist.

    You don't think that Donnie T wouldn't like to do that if he could get away with it.

    Nope, i don't think Trump really had a lot of interest in being president other than to add it to his list of "accomplishments "

    I don't think he has any interest in controlling people's lives or being any kind of dictator. I don't even know how much he wants to be president after 2020 except that he doesn't want to lose an election, but that's just his ego.

    Oh, that's right. It's Congress that is at 9%. Depending on if you go with "most of the time" or "just about always". Averaged out between the two. My apologies. Link

    Trust in media is around 32% "a great deal" or "a fair amount". Link

    Which is still lower than Trumps aggregate approval rating which is at 40.7. Link

    He reminds me of Mussolini in ‘28. The smug facial expressions, braggadocio, And his cheering crowds are eating it up like the dupes they are....

    Takes us away? You do know that the EC is how our system has worked for over 200 years right? Funny how it only seems to be a problem when Democrats lose an election because of it. Rest of the time you never hear a disparaging thing about the EC from anyone.

    He's no more dangerous than any other politician that came before him. Know what I find dangerous? The current crop of Democrat Presidential hopefuls. Minus Tulsi. I like her. The rest are socialistic and against our Rights.
