    What a coincidence, as I'm also an Independent.

    Everyone knew May 25th of 2015 that Clinton would be your nominee, regardless of how Democrats voted.

    We also knew that Pelosi would be nominated, because democrats have doubled down on stupid. Hopefully someone has let her know that Bush isn't the President.

    Well at least we have common ground in hoping that America succeeds. It does seem you're not a democrat after all.

    Force is a bit strong I'd like to believe, I think it might be a lack of willpowers or at the time over dramatic Liberal character assassination , maybe? So now I can't begin to explain my joy in seeing those that once considered Bushy and his side kick "Devils Spawn" as the biggest threat to the universe now being a man to be quoted and RELEVENT!

    Miracle are real!:cheerleader:

    Okay, we have that in common. And if you are like me...you treat it seriously, although both of us align toward a particular (opposite) agenda.



    My nominee? Couldn't you have said "the Democratic Party nominee?"

    And she could have dropped dead...AND NOT BEEN THE NOMINEE. There are other circumstances where she could have lost the nomination. So you are incorrect when you say "Everyone knew."

    Be more careful in what you assert.


    That was uncalled for and unnecessary, but if it made you feel better, fine with me.

    One more thing we have in common.

    That also was uncalled for. I would never say, "it seems you are not a Republican."

    You've told me you are not a Republican...that you are an Independent.

    I am going to accept that unless you give me reason to doubt it.

    Did you vote for her? If you did, and supported her, she was your nominee.

    I think it's common knowledge that unforseen circumstances aside...yadda yadda.

    Pelosi is as out of touch with reality and America as anyone has the ability to be. That the democrat party would rally behind that shows their judgement is also in question. I gave examples. Maxine Waters also thinks Russia is invading Korea.

    How are those not great examples of how poor their "leadership" is? If it's an insult, they did it to themselves, I'm only pointing to things they have actually said and done.

    You can doubt my being an Independent all you want, it doesn't counter reality.

    No matter what W says, his brother is never, ever going to be president. Apparently, George W Bush approved of everything Obama did and was a true Democrat and Obama loyalist since he never criticized president Obama.

    This reminds us all how GLAD we should be that the Bush clan is out of the White House.

    That's exactly the point, it's perfectly understandable for people to be suspicious or confused as to which was party rhetoric "Then or now"! I see this entire conversation as baiting and clearly reaching a climax is not the desired effect here and starting from the beginning again and again until tempers flair is!

    Just a observation from a cooler vantage spot.

    I am an Independent. She was not "my" nominee...she was the candidate of the Democratic Party.

    Yeah...I voted for her...and feel horrible that she did not win.


    If you do not know how to word a sentence conditionally...I understand. Or if you do not care about the quality of your posts...I understand.

    Best to avoid those, "EVERYONE KNOWS..." sentences.


    You do not like Pelosi.

    Okay.


    If it makes you feel better to consider Pelosi or her selection to be "stupid"...okay with me.

    I just think it is uncalled for and unnecessary. Which is what I said.


    I do NOT doubt your being an Independent.

    Read what has been written with comprehension...if you are able.

    Well allow me to respond to your thread, and I'll preface my response by saying that I only do so in the hopes you don't keel over and expire before you read it.

    No, I don't like Pelosi, but that's irrelevant. She's incredibly incompetent and unintelligent is the issue. Demonstrably so, based on her own actions and comments.

    Nice snub at the end, kinda invalidates everything you just tried to smear onto my comments.

    Not sure what that is supposed to mean...but...here's hoping you get to whatever it is you have to say.

    Well, Donald Trump is incompetent and unintelligent...but that doesn't seem to bother you. So I'm not sure where you are going with this. Hope you do get there, though.


    It wasn't a "snub." I would never snub you.

    It was an observation. I was noting that, considering your reply, you did not read my comment with comprehension...and that I was not sure whether it was due to carelessness, haste, or an inability to do so.

    I still do not know which it is.

    Well you seemed to think that it's not an obvious given that someone would be the candidate unless they died, so I extended you the same courtesy by not assuming you'd live to see my post.

    Really a bad argument by the way.

    Sure you can claim he is incompetent and unintelligent, but that doesn't help your argument either. The vast majority of the country seemed to disagree with you according to last nights speech results.

    The democrats, on the other hand, are at their lowest level of influence since the reconstruction period. You see, I actually base my opinions on facts and results, you might want to preface your beliefs with something substantial.

    Question my comprehension all you want, I have facts...and you have opinion and prophecies for the future. None of which is buttressed by your support for a failed candidate, quite frankly.

    Perhaps the problem....isn't me?

    Oops, my bad. I missed that, V. At my age...one never knows.

    There are dozens of others for why "Everyone knows..." was over the top.

    I consider him incompetent...and of marginal intellect. (Giving him the benefit of the doubt there!)

    I also consider him to be in this thing WAY over his head.



    I don't do "believing."

    What have I said that you think I should be "substantiating?"



    Yeah, like most Trump supporters, you are a truck load of facts. With you guys...it appears anything you say is a fact if you deem it to be.

    Let's hope the Republic survives this assault.



    Could be. But if I had to bet...I'd bet you are part of the problem.

    He was very noncommittal. He is wise the "Gotcha" fake news press. He want to promote his book, with the proceeds going to wounded vets. Can't believe Libs called such a nice man, Bu(*)(*)(*)(*)ler!

    Like I said, if you want to read his comments as not criticizing Trump or his policies, that is your preogative.
