We have seen "divisive" with the current administrator. Cruz will not get anything done for another 8 years. The only way to make people happy is to have a consensus vote on issues, not a one sided vote like Obamacare. Even Trump would be better than Cruz in dealing with people. Say what you will, but either people respect him, like him or fear him. But, everyone knows if he says he will do something, you can be assured that he can do it. I believe that Trump could talk (or trick) the devil into going to church, so I have no reason to believe that he couldn't get congress to start working. Pelosi chased all the half way decent democrats out of congress. Cruz would probably have a similar effect on the GOP.

Wonder you could back your statements with actual facts and not just an opinion. I would like to pass on your information but need facts to back what you say up.

It would help if you used the reply button so that we could tell what you are referencing.

You obviously have no qualms with Hillary having a top secret clearance and then mishandling of 2300 classified documents. Your idea of "secure" might need to be reevaluated, and adjusted.

I don't believe in my post there was any mention of Mrs. Clinton. Quit trying to put words in other peoples mouths. If you can't just address the post, then don't.

If you did not use the word "hate" then the post is not "addressed" to you. If you are going to get all defensive, then maybe this is a bit much for you.

Born in Canada, still citizen. End of story.

This is just boring.

On the other hand, what more do the liberals have? Humor them.

Big difference. Clinton made the first statement. The carrier made the second statement as they were leaving for home.

Are we, once again, being lead to believe the "Mission Accomplished" banner was about the ship returning. LOL, we could believe that except for W's remarks that day.

If there's one day in particular Bush could choose to rewrite, it might be May 1, 2003.

It was a sunny day off the coast of San Diego. Congress had authorized what would become the Iraq war a few months earlier, in October 2002. The invasion had begun in March 2003. On May 1, President Bush had landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the co-pilot's seat of a Navy fighter jet.

After landing, Bush changed out of his combat suit and stepped up to the podium, surrounded by a crowd as receptive as the one in Dallas last week.

Having marched U.S. troops through Iraq and deposed of Saddam Hussein's regime (and his statue), Bush called Operation Iraqi Freedom "a job well done."

"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," Bush said, the infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner hovering over him. "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."

At the time, the theatrics seemed effective, in the eyes of U.S. News. Democrats were disappointed, as Ken Walsh wrote, that the photo-op went so smoothly

Instead, the speech and the banner became a symbol of the unpopular war, which would last another eight brutal years. The image came to encapsulate not just the war, but the mistakes of the Bush administration as a whole, as even Bush himself admitted at his final press conference as president.

"Clearly, putting a 'mission accomplished' on an aircraft carrier was a mistake," Bush said, when asked about his errors while in the White House. "It sent the wrong message. We were trying to say something differently but, nevertheless, it conveyed a different message."

You can't spin this one!!!!!

So what is your point?

But, George Washington was born in VA.

The selective backward looking and selective quotings from the past that suit the current poster's agenda or goal is no more than a waste of time and effort.

Also boring and repeitive cause that is all they seem to be able to do.
