OP, all just about all politicians only care for themselves. Why you think they represent special interest groups instead? To further their own careers and make as much money as they can. I am sure there are some genuine people in politics in this country, but Trump and Hillary are not genuine, and only care for themselves.
And you don't see how stupid that statement is? Get rid of the establishment? That's a discussion that can be had. But at least find somebody competent, informed, or stable. - - - Updated - - - Depends on what he likes. I think crowds and power give him a mental erection. Makes him feel like the yuge winnah.
You know, if Trump does the "anti-establisment" "what the people want" sort of thing. It would be very bad for himself. And since it clearly seem that Trump is all for, what make things better for himself, he won't be for the people.
I do not know man, there is nothing we can other than elect Trump. That will be good message. Yes, it may be kind of suicide mission, but we have no choice.
Yea maybe! But there is a big difference in Trump verbally wishing everyone bad so he can do well, as opposed to Hillary keeping her mouth shut.
If the president is largely irrelevant, then why do so many cons whine about Obama? Why aren't those cons taking care of their own business? I love how some Trump supporters are already pulling the "But the president doesn't matter" after 8 years of blaming Obama for the littlest thing. I'm surprised we haven't seen more cons blame Obama for their sniffles. - - - Updated - - - The only idiots are the Trump supporters that Trump has to talk at a 4th grade level to - - - Updated - - - You are of course assuming Trump is "anti-establishment", however, with all his flip-flops he is proving he is JUST LIKE the establishment.
Lest we forget, that the housing bubble was a speculative boom begat by Republican deregulation, and enabled by the Bush adminstration which knew that the boom created a false sense of prosperity in middle class homes that disguised why their incomes had stagnated. Not only is Trump not going to fix that, he has every intention of reopening the casino, and has said so in public. BTW, where have you been for the past eight years? For all of that time, we never heard a peep out of any of you far right wingers about this. Not a word of criticism of Wall Street. No outrage over what happened. Instead, you bought the GOP line that defended the bankers and decried Dodd Frank. Most of that time you spent defending Wall Street as "jobs creators". It reminds me of how none of you had a word to say about deficits until your man wasn't in the White House anymore. So now, you're experience sudden enlightenment? Or is it the usual hypocricy of the talk radio right. - - - Updated - - - You aren't getting rid of the establishment with Trump. He's a whore who can't wait to sell out to the establishment, as he has made clear in the last two weeks. (I guess you were busy being mesmerized by watching the monotonous Trump Train video).
The loyalty of Trump's delusional sheep defies any rational logic. The blinded lemmings will vote for him regardless of what he does.
Whatever you say, but both parties Democrats and Republicans are against middle class. That is a fact. Unfortunately we do not have any other weapon to fight this, other then elect Trump.
Exactly Tom, the housing bubble happened during the republican administration and the democratic congress, during the time when Hillary was a senator and part of the establishment. And she did zilch to prevent the housing bubble or to soften the landing when the bubble burst or to put the people responsible for the scam to jail or to get the money American families lost back and make the victims whole. For the bargain price of $200,000/hr Hillary was more than happy to look the other way for as long as it took. Trump, being a real estate player had enough brain to not buy at the top of the bubble and wait till the prices collapse. The responsibility for the devastation of millions of American families is on the Washington establishment, which Hillary personifies to a tee.
And little George Bush was sitting in the corner reading books about goats when the housing bubble was expanding. I get it. It was all Hillary's fault.
Trump has the power of a Hitler imo, the question is, would he put the power to good or would the power corrupt him
You are complaining that he wanted to make money, but are perfectly happy with the candidate that was part of Whitewater? Can you honestly say that Hillary is on morally high ground here? Whitewater was a reality scheme that was set up to screw people out of money..
For someone who, as a conservative (and therefore morally and intellectually supreme), probably screams "deregulation" on a regular basis, I would think Bill Clinton would be your hero. I know Georgie loved to recite the "deregulation" mantra. You can't be for regulation one minute and against it the next unless you believe only conservatives can believe in deregulation. The people who should be angry with Hillary and Bill are the "lefties". If anyone doesn't have someone to vote for it's them.
George W. Bush isn't running, last I checked, his brother was thoroughly rejected by the voters, so were all other establishment candidates. Hillary is the last establishment man standing and it's her turn to pay for her role in the establishment's war on America, in which the housing bubble was just one battle, decisively won by Hillary and her Wall Street masters.
Bill Clinton isn't running, but that doesn't stop your 'savior' Trump from him acting like he is running against Bill. Speaking of George Bush: He earned $15 million in speaking fees in the first two years after he left office. 'They' all do it. If you think a man who wants Carl Icahn to work for him as a public official is going to paddle Wall Street's butt, your crazy, or in absolute denial, or in 'love' (hmm) Trump.
Yeah, Bush earned $15 million AFTER leaving office. Newsflash, Hillary was never in the office, she is seeking the presidency and $200,000/hr they happily pay her is a legalized bribe, nothing else. PS Bill Clinton is fair game for at least half a dozen reasons. And so is Hillary's establishment role, her corruption, her inaction during the housing bubble, her Iraq war vote, her flip flops, her enthusiastic support of outsourcing, her lack of accomplishments and total absence of new ideas.
Whose not? The "lefties"? Some "lefties" may be ignorant deniers--they come in all political stripes--right and left; but many are voting against Trump, and many "lefties" would vote for Bernie if he could be the nominee. "Lefties" are in the same position as the "Never Trump" people. Some lefties can't stand Hillary; and many righties can't stand Trump, but they are still going to vote for their party's candidate. I am not voting for Hillary as much as I am voting against that incredibly weird, boastful, and immature Trump.
He was wishing he could buy things cheap. You, on the other hand, support a candidate that thinks its funny to overthrow governments and kill their leaders, laughs about a 12 year old being raped, supported her married serial sexual offender husband, thinks laws don't apply to her, takes money hand over fist from the people who caused the financial crisis, and can't manage an inbox.
The argument about Hillary's speaking fees being a legalized bribe is ridiculous. Any politician who agrees to be 'entertained' by lobbyists is corrupt. They are offered campaign contributions, and even gifts for stuffing little riders into major bills, or voting one way or the other. If you think the Donald is going to put a stop to political corruption you are in denial. He is one of the ones who give campaign contributions in return for favors. He has played the political system. Giving money to candidates to obtain favors from them if they get elected is a legalized bribery. Trump didn't take the bribes, he just offered them.
