    You are blatantly lying about so much here. Clinton is up 1.5 in the RCP average. 75% of Sanders supporters have said they would vote for Hillary if she wins. Trump only received 40% of the Republican votes. Kasich and Cruz combined had more than him. So the Republicans do not like him as much as you're making it out to be.

    I asked you to back up your assertions with evidence. :) Most scientists are Democrats, and scientists are well educated disciplined thinkers. That's why Republicans hate them so, along with academics. I can't help but notice, when dictators arise, the first people they go after are the educated folks, the academics.

    You mean you wish it was stupid as hell. :) The fact is that only about 17% of the Republican voter base has voted thus far and of that amount, only about 40% or so have voted for Trump. That's a pretty small number. Yes, it might be larger than the number of folks who voted for Reagan in the primaries. But that really isn't saying much. That was more than 40 years ago and more that 30 years for Papa Bush, and more than 50 years ago for Nixon. The country has grown. The country is much larger, so it isn't Earth shaking that Trump has more votes than Reagan, Nixon or Bush did.

    What always amazes me is how ideologues on both sides of the ideological spectrum are so challenged in the realm of critical thinking. They just eat (*)(*)(*)(*) up with out a thought.

    If Trump beats Hillary as you have asserted, then why is she beating Trump in all mainstream polling? The unfortunate fact for you, is your assertion just isn't true.

    You need to heed your advice.

    How much has Hillary or Bernie raised for vets? Hint: it's the same amount.

    Sleazy? Clearly you jest Donald. We all recognize Tom Llamas for his hard hitting reports on the WWE?

    Demonstrably, it is liberals who do not care for free speech.

    The press has abandoned its once lofty place. Almost all reporting is biased. It's as clear as the nose on your face.

    To deny it is willful ignorance at best, deliberate lying at worst.

    Oh, well then you should be able to demonstrate it. So let's see that demonstration.

    Since the demise of the Fairness Doctrine, that is indeed true. But it's a little more complex than I think you appreciate. The end of the Fairness Doctrine has created echo chambers, where people can hear what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear (e.g. Fox News & Republican talk radio). And that is a big part of what has vexed the Republican Party.

    Other news outlets like CNN, once venerable members of the press, have tended toward sensationalism at the expense of more accurate and honest reporting reporting (e.g. the Swift Boating of Kerry). The bottom line is not all media is the same. Some are better, some are worse (e.g. Fox News). Fox has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Republican Party.

    What is dishonest is to treat the press as some unified body with an anti-Republican bias. That simply isn't the truth. Republicans have done a good job attempting to manipulate the media over the years by making outlandish claims of bias. But I think those days are coming to a close. Look what it gave the party, The Donald. :)

    Yeah, then we could all be millionaires like the ones produced by Trump University who are still paying off the mortgages they took out on their homes to pay for those classes.

    Unlike Trump she quietly and personally donated more than 105,000 dollars to veterans organizations over the course of the last 6 years, and the Clinton Foundation has funded a number of veteran causes. Additionally, she has helped raise money for veteran's charities over the years. Unlike Trump, Hillary isn't a johnny-come-lately to helping veterans.

    Trump promised his million dollar donation in January. He didn't make the promised donation until last week, and then only under pressure from the press...the very press he lashed out against yesterday for pressuring him. Unlike Trump, Clinton has been giving to and helping veterans organizations for many years.

    Most Republicans can't string two sentences together properly. Look at GW Bush and Donald Trump for example. If that's an example of your top flight guys, how do you expect to get your rank and file into journalism school?

    So donating 105,000 USD since 2006 is somehow worth more than 5.6 million USD collected since February 2016? Do you honestly believe anyone is going to take you seriously? It’s obvious that you don’t understand how charitable donations work. For all peanuts Hillary contributed to veterans over the years she made a hell of a lot more money in tax-breaks based on her pitiful donations. The vast majority of veterans endorsed Trump, not her. That simple fact completely destroys your argument.

    Furthermore as a public servant she is supposed to do things for people. It’s always been her job to serve people who elected her. And she did a pretty lousy job. Hillary did far more for Saudis, Qataris and other foreigners who ‘contributed’ to her fraudulent foundation.

    Clinton Foundation is nothing but a political scam. Fraud on a grand scale. Trump University is a child play in comparison.

    Take a few deep breaths, the world isn't ending.

    Hillary:
    - donated 105k of her personal money over the course of the last 6 years to veterans organizations
    - participated in fund raising events for a number of veterans charities (amount raised unknown, but Hillary is a good fund raisers, probably better than Trump)
    - the Clinton foundation has supported and continues to support a number of veteran organizations.

    So to make it simple for you, Hillary has contributed much more than just a 105k dollars of her personal funds to veterans causes and organizations. And unlike Trump, Clinton has supported veterans and veteran causes for many years. Trump only fessed up that 5.6 million after nearly 6 months and much pressure from the press and as evident from his press conference yesterday, he was none to pleased about it.

    Oh, so Clinton's charity doesn't count because she was a public servant. Public servants aren't required to do charity events, nor are they they required to donate personal funds to charities. Serving doesn't mean she has to donate her time and money to charities. And one more thing, Hillary hasn't been a public servant for more than 3 years now.

    And if you think Hillary did more for the Arabs and other foreigners, where is the evidence to support those beliefs? You have none, because it simply isn't true. And where is your evidence that Clinton's foundation is fraudulent? If you can prove it, the IRS will make it worth your while. But you can't, because that assertion is false as well.

    You really need to begin using credible sources. If you or any of your cohorts can prove your allegations against the Clinton Foundation, now is the time to do it and the IRS will reward you for it. But you can't, because your claims are false. It really is that simple.

    The Clinton Foundation is an A rated charity.

    Obama is a very articulate and eloquent public speaker. His Memorial Day speech this year was excellent, and the Hiroshima event was praised by people from all over the world. What I can't figure out about guys like GW Bush and Trump is how they can have degrees from Ivy League schools and yet both have the vocabularies of grade school dropouts.

    Here's one.

    The internet is a big place. It took just a quick google search to come up with innumerable articles on the subject. Feel free ...

    Liberals are becoming the most intolerant group there is. They'll even eat their own if they don't conform. Bill Maher, an avowed liberal, was attacked when he stated his opinion on Islam, as an example.

    Fox News is biased towards Republicans. MSNBC and CNN are biased towards Democrats. I would love to see a new news network emerge that isn't biased toward any side at all.

    Take a look at who is manipulating who. Of course both sides try, but this is just plain disturbing....

    My two cents ... :oldman:

    Well, MILLIONS of others fell for the fraud of "big college" and basically have a mortgage payment to carry around with them for the rest of their lives. I believe that ALL universities should be sued for fraud.
