    I would agree that the Democratic party would indeed lead to our collapse, if it were to regain full control. The difference between Trump and the Democratic party is that Trump seeks to empower the people, whereas the Democratic party seeks to empower itself, at the expense of the people.

    How do you feel trump is empowering the people?
    Election reform, ending partisan gerrymandering, election security, proportional representation? Which has he undertaken?

    None of the banal platitudes you mention empowers the people. What does empower the people is the liberty to chart one's own course without the oppressive burden of government taxing, regulating, and legislating them into submission; for no reason other than to consolidate more & more power into the hands of the government.

    If you were interested in election reform, you'd be in favor of "voter ID", like Trump is. Are you?

    Giving people the ability to have their voices heard does not empower them?

    Allowing factories to pollute more does?

    I would say this is delusional but i don't even thing that is a strong enough statement.

    So, more empty platitudes is all you have?

    Who doesn't have the ability to have their voices heard? Give us some examples.
    I suspect factory pollution is less under Trump than it was before Trump, thanks to Trump's decision to approve the fracking that Obama wouldn't approve.

    Delusion does exist, but unbeknownst to you, you on the left are the ones espousing it.

    Ha, are they even talking to her? They're probably just getting their lies lined up.

    Anyone that has their vote weighted because of geographical location does not have their voice heard.
    Anyone that votes against the desired outcome in a gerrymandered district does not have their voice heard.
    Anyone that has their voter registration voided right before an election heard.
    Anyone that has their vote override by a non citizen voting does not have their voice heard.

    You can “suspect” all you want, but that is simply a synonym for your opinion.

    Are Trumpists really just now finding out about closed door inquiries?

    Hillarious you felt the need to edit and ignore this question...

    This is from your original source you quoted.. Did you not like that one? Or is this one more suited to WHAT you originally wanted to convey :)

    Where have I edited a post and ignored any question?

    edit: feel free to check out the “last edited” time stamp in the post you are accusing me of editing out. You should really look at all of the information given before you start levying such fraudulent accusations. Pathetic

    No, i don’t really agree with a “voter id” per say, I favor a national ID that would be used as a passport, voter resignation card and driver’s license. It would also replace our social security numbers with a more secure and encrypted method on transmitting financial and healthcare information. I would also prefer it be digital and verified at both the user and the authenticating device.

    Bet you thought you had a gotcha in there, didn't ya?

    I highlighted it for you, notice when you quoted him, you edited that question out, when you quoted him? If I am mistaken, feel free to point it out.

    Varity is the spice of life.
    I just thought you would like to be wrong 3 times. :)
    Trump likes polls (especially poll dancers) and he was (is) getting his butt kicked.
    Anybody but Hillary can beat him.

    Again, check his post edit time:
    Post #81 (the one you are accusing me of editing) Last edited by poster: Today at 8:07 PM
    Post #82 (my responce with a direct unedited quote): Today at 8:08 PM

    I edited nothing out. He added it after I had started responding.

    It’s literally in the post.

    Try again

    I'm not the one reintroducing a new source that doesn't include the information that the first source offered explaining all the pertinent facts :)

    Nice try Ron :)

    And interesting choice in graphic deflection technic!

    But I like the first one, redundancy was not needed Ron or the big busted lady either :)

    But I'd like to counter with something you might be familiar with.. Granted it doesn't have the same bounciness as yours but this has been effective in some instances of diversion tactics..

    He edited at 8:07 you posted your quote at 8:08.

    So maybe you posted before his edit was done. My mistake.

    I am used to posters here, cutting out much of a quoted post, in reply.

    I don’t do that unless I am respond to a post in regards to another poster, then I comment only on the part that I am addressing and only for clarity sake. If someone asks me a direct question I always try to answer to the best of my ability, if I don’t know then I research, and then answer. If I cannot then I am likely on the wrong side of the topic.

    It’s called basic integrity.
