Does it matter?

I give them props if it wasn't a D or R. ANYONE but a D or R.

I'd LOVE to see a presidential election where Mickey Mouse wins as a write in. ANYONE but a D or R!!! BOTH sides are completely corrupt...part of a corrupt political system.

Simple question and he never answered.

It matters when all they do is bitch...they most likely did not even take the time to vote, and yet somehow have all the time in the world to bitch.

Mickey mouse and Trump would both be considered outsiders to me. Only difference is Mickey made no promises and we have no idea what he would want to do.

Ross Perot seemed like a great businessman, but at the time it was considered he had nothing to trade with congress, and thus nothing would get done.

Trump while running as an "R" is not of the same cloth as the majority of the party. Thanks to liberal lawyers and Obamma, the president can do a lot more today without congress.

5. It does not take a PhD in Political Science to figure out that the GOP, Trump, Bannon and their followers are gathering into a circular firing squad.

I do not mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. Please forgive me.

Hi Chipster, Welcome to the list.

If as you say "Trump’s true base are primarily under-educated whites males, rural folks being left behind in the technology revolution,

and evangelicals" along with the "anomalies" can you share two or three reasons why Hillary lost.

It doesn't seem like that would be nearly enough of the population to put Trump over the top.

You are smart enough to know why the IQ level is where it is.


You don't need Donnie to tell you, it's simple arithmetic.

How easily you forget the Russian propaganda that persuaded millions that Hillary was a "crook". The proof? Republicans now completely control the entire government and it is not Hillary, but Trump, who is being investigated.

I am new to this site, so sorry if I overstep my bounds. I am a progressive, but not extreme. Kasich was actually who I would have voted for. What has transpired since Trump’s election is terrifying to me. So I look for facts in between all the BS. Here is what I know:

1. We just reached an incredible milestone. Trump’s approval rating (35%) is now the lowest, at this point in his term, of any President since statistically-valid polls started.

2. Trump’s true base are primarily under-educated whites males, rural folks being left behind in the technology revolution, and evangelicals. If you support Trump and are not in one of those go ups, statistically you are an anomaly.

3. The amazing swing to the political right will, historically speaking, cause an equal reaction by swinging back to the left. You can actually make a lot of money at this if you take the emotions out of it.

4. With almost every major issue of importance to the average American ( gun control, abortion, immigration, Foreign policy, security, climate change, Russians interfering with the election, etc.), the public opinion is at great odds with the current GOP agenda. BS you say? Look it all up on PollingReport.com.

First of all, I am most surely not a female [emoji28] and my wife of 37years got a huge belly laugh from whoever came up with that. Actually I am a 66 year old current CEO of a multinational company, managing the business from a virtual office in the front bedroom of a new Ivy. But none of that matters because I am thrilled to be loving The Villages like everyone else here.

I think this is the problem on this message board: most folks who read this drivel are lurkers -they never post anything. Those of us that do are immediately branded as extreme conservative or liberal. But many posters really are probably moderates, just wanting to express some facts and get intelligent discourse going. Nope. Interesting that none of you Trump supporters had any debate about the facts I cited, you only wanted to express your displeasures at me stating them. Fair enough. So let me try this one and see if there are some thinkers out there: The tax bill passed today is PROVEN to be deeply unpopular with the general American voting public. Apparently they can see that the tax advantages for the middle class (temporary) are insignificant to the advantages (permanent) given to the high wealthy. There is also broad resistance to saddling our children with another trillion dollars of debt during a period of great economic growth. So why did the Republicans do it? And isn’t this wonderful dry gunpowder for the Dems in the upcoming mid-terms? Please don’t answer with **** you bombs. I am interested in you reasoned answers.
