if there were "do-overs"...

[jebartle]

How would you vote, keep in mind, beside HC, there were 14 GOP candidates.?

Well, I voted for one of the other independent.candidates, and left the Republican Party because of the primary. I am officially an independent because I think the Republican Party abandoned their core principals of morals and character

We were faced with the two single worst people to lead our country.

BUT the real point is...it's over. Time to move on and instead of campaigning, if character attacks are campaigning, it is time to address our country. Who we elected keeps making it about HIM, which is detracting from our country's business

[Don Baldwin]

If there were do-overs...I'd wish that all you suckers who believed things would be different...NOT meet the new boss, same as the old boss...would join me in voting 3rd party or independent. You should have voted your conscience and not for another D or R crook.

My God...how old are you? And you haven't figured out BOTH sides suck?

[rustyp]

"if there was do-overs" but there isn't. So why ask?

IF is a mighty big word - "IF" the queen had b*lls she'd be king.

I think it is a fair question because it appears that Trump has abandoned his "base" of voters except for feeding them the rhetoric as in a pep rally.

He is doing nothing that he promised and in fact, in some cased he is doing the opposite.

THUS he said this week he would like to do the "pep rally" thing every few weeks. I cannot understand how he gets the time, but I understand he has a base that believes every single word out of his mouth (the logic of which escapes me....his entire history is one of lies and lying...BEFORE running for office that was the single most described attribute for him) and he needs to feed that base.

While what he says is easily shown to be lies, he will continue as long as this group of people hangs on everything he says.

Gotta give him credit....a man who has never done one single thing for his country in 70 years, who looks you in the eye and flat out refuses to be transparent, who continues his lies into the White House, who has surrounded himself with the most dubious and untrustworthy group of people, still can tell lies and be the most UN transparent man in the oval and still have this following. Imagine knowing he is lying to you and still cheering.

[Rockyrd]

Great example...we need another leader of another country to teach us RESPECT. She has been the target in Germany for years and stands by her principles to do what is right for Germany and the world.

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed respect for the media in a pointed contrast to U.S. President Donald Trump, whose latest Twitter blast labeled mainstream outlets “the enemy of the American people.”

“I stand by a free and independent press and have great respect for journalists,” Merkel said at an international security conference in Munich with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence in the audience. “We’ve always done well in Germany when we mutually respect each other.”

And before you blind Trump followers jump on this.....read this....well, you probably wont but at least I am trying...

"Angela Merkel may not seem at first glance the hardest-nosed operator: She’s soft-spoken, physically unimposing, and concertedly uncharismatic. But if Donald Trump thinks he can intimidate the German chancellor into doing his bidding, or at least staying out of his way as he does his own, he might consider counsel from his fellow parody of hyper-masculine bullying, Vladimir Putin. The Russian president, whose economy is now paying the price for testing her on Ukraine, considers Merkel a “dangerous person,” alone among her European peers capable of pushing back, according to Russian dissident Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

The chancellor’s astounding record in outfoxing, outlasting, and outmaneuvering full-of-themselves male rivals, however, began before Putin appeared on the scene. Her track record offers the outlines of a go-to plan for dealing with bullies — and, not coincidentally, it dovetails tightly with her top foreign-policy advisor’s five-point plan for taking on Trump.


She understands that mean spirited remarks and demeaning of people is NOT even close to defining leadership....

"Merkel prides herself on her caution and dispassion, and she has thus far refused to dignify Trump’s repeated excoriation of her refugee policy as a “catastrophic mistake” with a direct response. But she wasted no time in responding full force to the president’s immigration ban that bars the entry of refugees and others from several Muslim-majority countries, pointedly reminding Trump of the international right to political asylum embedded in the Geneva Conventions. At a press conference Monday, she sugarcoated nothing: “The necessary and resolute fight against terrorism in no way justifies a general suspicion against all people who share a certain faith, in this case people of the Muslim faith, or people from a certain background.” The procedures adopted by the Trump administration contradict the fundamental philosophy of international refugee assistance and international cooperation, continued Merkel."

What is she going to do? Seriously..WHAT can she do to him? Nothing. The German people hate her for letting all the refugees in, they're being inundated...with Muslims...they call them "Rapefugees". They're mostly late teen/early twenties..."children".

If there were do overs Romney would have been POTUS for 8 years instead of a community organizer with racist pedigree.

Itsa BS thread with no specific election mentioned so.............

I don't think so because Romney only ran 4 years ago not 8!

Having some memory problems?

Racist pedigree look up the definition of projection!

Don't know the answer to your question, but I was embarrassed by our President's treatment of her or anyone treated with such a rude manner.

I was always proud of leaders who had dignity and class, but it appears that has been tabled.

Please don't start bashing Merkel....my post is not about her...it is about class, dignity and maturity.

Our President is becoming entertainment for the world.

Of course, he will be good for Fox News.

Imagine a President using them as a basis for public supposedly serious comments. Hard to imagine...glad they at least admitted they know nothing and left him out on an island.

Let us just pray that he doesn't run into a conspiracy theory that can only be solved by nuking...sorry for the death and destruction, but Fox said....

Boy, you really got me there Sparky.

Love those who defend Trump with Obama...deep thinkers.

I do not believe in "do overs" whether its golf or any other aspect of my life. I do my homework. I then decide with a good faith effort and I live with my decisions. I live with no regrets because I take responsibility for my decision and I manage my life . I voted for Trump and I am not disappointed . Trump haters have said and done some terrible things against he and his family and he has hardly blinked .

A fair minded person would give Trump his due but we have repeatedly witnessed below the belt strikes against him and his family and some out right threats on his life.

Most people in this nation are decent fair minded individuals and though they may remain silent they act when it matters. What the progressive leaders, pundits etc are doing now is only going to come back to bite them

Just a reminder to you.

President Trump, himself alone has caused his problems and nobody else.

Obviously you are brainwashed to blame everybody else.....

Had he not demanded a congressional investigation into 5 million illegals votin....

Had he not made gross vile accusations, unfounded about an ex President about wiretapping him...

Had he not persisted in his accusations to a point, his staff spends inordinate time in defending....

Had he not appointed a man who was seeking to become a lobbyist for a foreign power with his knowledge..

Had he not involved our ally in UK in his wiretapping fantasy..

Maybe we would be spending more time on the health care bill and/ or the budget.

"Trump haters" had nothing to do with any of this...NONE OF IT

ALL OF IT WAS HIS DOING

I might also add that you have reverted VERY QUICKLY to what you have decried as unamerican, i.e., a blanket statement about millions of Americans and simply blaming this group for all the woes. Your hypocrisy is becoming legend.

[larbud]

No help at all from the media RIGHT??

[Rockyrd]

No help at all from the media RIGHT??

1. If he keeps his mouth shut, nothing to report, so the answer is easily no help...just reporting what he says, and of course his constant lying about it.

2. Certainly newsworthy when the President of the US claims 5 million illegals voted....the ex President wire tapped him...was assisted in retapping him by our best friend in the worl. And of course, in an international setting, using commentary from Fox News to validate his charging U.K. Those are HISTORIC ACCUSATIONS

Wouldn't it be great having discussions on issues ? But, he just will not shut up...why ? Because, if you notice, as predicted..this presidency is all about HIM, not our country.

I support many of the plans as stated, but thus far, he has been backing off all his promises, and insuring the spotlight is on HIM.

Were you embarrassed with Obie by the way he treated the leader of Israel? Of course not, because you are a hypocrite that falsely claims to be a conservative, but only spouts libtard rhetoric.

If I were what difference does it make at present ?

Get with reality....Obama is gone, and those of you that use Obama or Clinton as some sort of shield for Trump are not only foolish, but then choose to advertise your ignorance one here.

If you support Trump, then say what...don't be like the kids in the playground. I doubt you even know what is being discussed.

Was it when he lied about his guests committment to NATO...was it when he refused to shake hands....was it when, in front of international media, he admitted to using a FOX commentator as a source for Presidential remark, or was it when again on the international stage he slammed his own country's media. Which ?
