    He said I contributed to all of your campaigns here lol, even the libertarian had nothing to say about it.

    In the past he donated to Clinton's foundation for special favors, but he wasn't specific about it. At least he's aligned with the party that he thinks supports this best.

    Ted Nugent should jump in, I'd bet he'd start out with at least 10% in the polls

    The failure of the political system is one part of it.

    But the dumbing down of media, and especially electronic media is a large part of it.

    Once upon a time, three television networks broadcast half hour long nightly news programs that covered the major events of the day. NBC and CBS tended to be liberal in outlook, while ABC was right down the middle. All were generally scrupulous in keeping their political views separate from the news content. All three were hosted and run by veteran newsman, nearly all of whom started out in the newsroom of some major newspaper. These people were real journalists, people who had gone out and worked a beat, researched stories, and made the mistakes one makes when learning a profession.

    But this model wasn't profitable, even though the audiences were (and still are) large.

    So, they began to hoke it up. First came ABC World News Tonight!, an hour long spectacular starring the first news anchor to be paid seven figures, Barbara Walters.

    From there, it was downhill. The other networks glitzed up their shows and began dumbing down content to please audiences.

    Politicians got into the game. A little know Congressman from Georgia, began giving firely partisan speeches to an empty Congress (which you couldn't see, because the CPAN cameras were still fixed in position). He engaged in phony debates with non existant people. His name was Newt Gingrich.

    Then came the talk radio guys. Limbaugh led the way to national distribution with a show designed to appeal to the Archie Bunker set. Indeed, Limbaugh is Archie Bunker without the character.

    And then Roger Ailes brought the Limbaugh format to television.

    Through it all, the content has deminished, the intellectual level of political discussion has descended to high school level. and the superficial looks driven ethos of television has begun to permeate journalism, whether it be print, electronic, or TV.

    The GOP put the icing on the cake by picking a Vice Presidential candidate based solely on her looks and her ability to toss red meat at a receptive audience.

    Sarah Palin was the first passenger on the clown car, and the model for every clown since.

    And democrats had a presidential candidate with little qualifications to be POTuS except the fact he was black and educated. And he could speak well when reading. Had little to no accomplishments and the MSM barely vetted him or challenged him. Then he goes on the lie for 6+ years about everything and anything and use his race as an excuse why people don't like him. Yeah OK.

    Spends more money than any before him. Lives More lavishly than
    Any before him. Causes more instability in our nation than any before him. Rewinds race relations 40 years. Panders like no president before him.

    This is not going to change until we unify and end it with our lawful and peaceful revolution.

    It is the law of the land that we have the right to do this. We owe it to future generations because collusion between corporations and government is going to destroy the environment one way or the other. That's after a few generations of virtual slavery.

    But it goes beyond that even.

    The new model for society is to celebrate ignorance as truth and belittle anyone who aspires to intelligence as a snob.

    Its maddening!!!

    That is your fallacious reasoning. You'd like it to be so, wouldn't you? Is this your pat response to truth?

    Who cares? As long he's not another pus__y like Obama.

    I don't care that he's not a 'god' or a 'saint' who can do no wrong like Obama. All I care about is what he'll do for the country and that he'll build that wall to keep Mexico's riff-raff out.

    Exactly. Many of the sheltered white liberal elites acted like they never heard a black man speak so well, that Obama certainly must be a 'messiah'. :roll:

    Of course, if Obama looked like his father they never would've for a moment considered him to run for POTUS.

    The last two decades of GOP failure? in the last two elections, who has been losing seats in both the house and the senate?
    Just one clue for those lib's who are still asleep. The Democrat's have been losing seats as fast as republicans have been gaining
    them.

    Ain't it obvious the anti-Trump efforts,

    are the same as Pro RepubloCratic efforts.

    Efforts to derail relevant news and discussion!


    And "they", and their paid for media, News, Inc.
    would rather make a story of Megyn unprofessional behavior and
    Trump's response to an "attack"
    as opposed to printing stories of what the candidates say about, "real issues".
    Has The Jeb said anything of relevance the last 48 hours?


    Trump / Paul 2016​

    I Support The Trumpster!
    Why not?

    And what have they been doing with those seats?

    Have we seen a replacement for the ACA? No we have seen scores and scores of votes to remove it. Nothing to replace it.

    Have we seen the Republicans put forth immigration reform? No we just see them complaining about it over and over.

    Have we seen a single piece of substantive anything from the republicans? No. Instead we get them threatening to shut down the government if they dont get their way. Attempting to rule through crisis. And guess what? When they do shut down the government you know what they got? NOT A SINGLE (*)(*)(*)(*)ING THING!!! NOTHING!! THEY GOT NOTHING!!

    They sure will have something if they shutdown the government, They will have a small government, only let those departments
    that we really need stay open, and let all the other departments die and rot off.

    Get rid of corporate and union donations to political parties. That will end the conflict-of-interest.

    The crazy part is, they think they are losing because they are not crazy enough. It's amazing television!

    Yep...all of those unimportant sectors...that employe tens of thousands of people.

    Those are necessary.

    Dont make me laugh. Their useless little power plays have done nothing of substance.
