FOR EXAMPLE ?

Please.....tell us, and I am not a dem as you say...I am a life long conservative Republucan who fears for my country because of what my party has put forward.

I enjoy discussing facts, so please enlighten us all instead of jus making general comments.

Economy is not back, workforce participation lower than ever, stocks up because of
phony fed $$$ infusion, healthcare costs up for millions,
and you say foreign relations tense...now that is truly funny!

There are plenty of specific comments that have been made, and if you are a life long Republican you are part of the problem, since both establishment parties are responsible for the many problems our country has, such as immigration, massive debt, lack of meaningful jobs, millions dependent on welfare and a loss of military strength.

Are we at war with anyone ? Are American soldiers dying ?

Yep...we assist in fighting ISIS. Is that not what Trump wants ?

On the economy, do you comprehend how bad our economy was ?

In any case, I will be noxious to hear the Trump proposals on Monday for even more peace...how he will raise the employment rate that you say is low.

Not sure what "phoney fed infusion" means. Can you explain. I just know that finally IPOs are returning and market is up. I also know the unemployment rate is down, and it is measure exactly how it always has been.

If you look at age statistics, you might get a better understanding of workforce participation. Not one or two stories, but actual facts.

I certainly agree both parties share any blame. My participation on this forum today is the misrepresentation of Trump as a savior, when he is in fact, the single biggest threat to our country.

I mean that, and while I would have supported ANYONE against Clinton, I consider it un American to allow any person such as Trump to even visit the WH.

I would be speaking against Clinton loudly except the alternative sickens me on a personal level as well as on any policy issue you can mention. He is so entwined with Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc...he lies so easily...he extols hate that he is simply a real threat to our country.

The life long Republican and Chi-Town seem to be the
type of folks that probably feel they are very patriotic,
but yet they will vote for a party, rather than what may be good for the country!

It's not Trump. It's the supreme court. If Trump doesn't work out, he can always be impeached.
If Hillary appoints her super liberal/progressive justices, the the country will be ruined for many generations.

The next president will likely appoint up to three justices.

You may not speak for me.

Now, I am thinking voting the down ticket and skipping the presidential race.

I do not, nor ever have voted straight party

On what planet should you believe Trump on anything, including appt of justices ?

Lot of Lib Dem trolling today, they must be getting nervous!

And you believe Hillary.
Please give us a break!

Gee I am just so stunned . However I always vote for the candidates the NY Times tells me to doesn`t everyone .

I have tried voting candidate regardless of party once. I went down the list of candidates, checking each one's ideology and how I thought they might vote on issues. After doing extensive research, and choosing the candidates according to my view, I ended up with a straight party ballot. Anyone that criticizes someone for voting straight party line, is being stupid. People vote according to their ideology, not according to personality, gender or race. At least, that is what they should be doing. And I do vote according to what I believe is best for the country. The problem with many of you is your definition of what you believe is good for the country.

I have traveled to many different types of countries, having many different political and economic systems. WE have the best and I do not appreciate an idiot, inexperienced elected telling me that the European socialist system is better than what we currently have. We have fought wars against socialism in the form of communism and I am not about to give all this up for some liberal know it all to throw it away.

If you folks don't like the idea of me voting straight party, that's your opinion. But, I have yet to see a liberal vote according to my ideology. It may be hard to believe a conservative's promises, but I do believe it when a Democrat states that they are liberal or even socialist.

Yes, I vote straight party line Republican on a chance that they might be conservative. The choice I have is a Democrat that promises to be liberal. Why in the world would I think that liberal might be a conservative?
