It is very easy to be popular when providing financial handouts, food stamps, open borders or dependencies to name just a few. These kinds of benefits and dependencies in no way shape form or illusion constitute or represent a capability to be a good president. Only that he has and will continue to do whatever it takes for re-election or maintenance of the party.

And now that there is no re-election at risk he goes about doing whatever he wants whether anybody cares or not.

And what exactly has this current president done for middle America? I think nothing, except broken it's back. Middle America tends to be a self-reliant, hard working group of people, not ones looking for free hand-outs and more government control of their lives. My prediction is that this election cycle will be a very different one indeed. I think more people are fed up with the direction this country is going than you choose to believe.

Well stated.

Donald Trump beats Rand Paul, Chris Christie in poll | MSNBC


Donald Trump is the new frontrunner in the GOP field to beat Hillary Clinton.

I guess if he happened to be the republicans candidate and if Clinton is the democratic candidate all he has to do to beat her is a good debator and he could knock her off like Obama did in 2008.

Hillary supporters ... please let us know if this type of behavior bothers you at all. I know you like her, and think she'll be a great president, and will win etc. That's not what I'm asking.

does the character issue of Bill and/or Hillary in any way concern you, or is it no big deal?

No big deal

So it amounts to robotic response to support party first no matter the candidate's past?
There can be only one reason for such blind obedience. The need for the existing government's give away programs and out of control spending to continue.

If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question. Everyone that doesn't agree with you is not on the government nickel.

Did it bother you that George W used to regularly use cocaine or that Laura Bush killed a person as a teen while driving drunk or that Cheney was a draft dodger?

I in no way asked or insuated I was seeking agreement.
Can a point be made without restating one's intents?

Wow that is so far out in left (pun intended) field it isn't even visible.
Reminds me a lot of someone flailing.
Also would help if you could enlighten us how this tirade fits the discussion.

Speaking of character of the candidates and their families and wheter or not it is or was a big deal - the character of George W had been a regular user of cocaine, Laura Bush having killed someone when she was driving drunk as a teen, and war-monger Cheney being so much of a chicken to evade the draft. Even cowardly W got his daddy to buy him a spot in the Texas Air Guard.

But, to me it is no big deal.

I thought that the topic was who could beat Hillary? However we have some posters with short attention spans or have no ability to respond to the question.
and seem to have a priori aversion to addressing the topic at hand. If this were a college exam do you suppose you could say well I don't know the answer to this question but let me tell you about....... I understand this is not an exam but I also understand that posters who don't address the question at hand have probably deflected their entire lives.

So to those posters just say I don't know people will think more highly of you

My thought is that before one can venture a guess as to who can beat of the Hillary that Hillary first publicly announce she is running. Secondly that she get the nomination to run for the Democratic party before anyone can determine who can beat her. While it might appear as if it is a done deal we don't really know that because its still early in the campaign game.

This forum is getting confusing because everyone is named guest and its also difficult because one can'delete or edit one's post.

I thought of signing off with my username but wondered if the Admin would delete it?

And here likewise.
I for one do not like the permissive lifestyle. Everything is OK. Well it is not.
Rules, laws being ignored without consequence.
Folks in public office can do just about anything and it seems to be OK with far too many people.

It used to be when something was wrong you did something about it. When someone did or does something wrong one could bring it to their attention. If they are breaking the law then deal what comes with the violation, including politician, movie stars and the super rich.

Crooked politicians need to be reminded they do not get our vote.
Our character and sense of right and wrong has been completely watered down to a point of embarassment.

The wrong post is quoted above. The one that should have been was...It does matter to me.

Many people are disolutioned with the last years with the wrong democrat so who ever the republicans put out there will win. Look at the history of politics this is what usually happens back and forth. The problem no matter who is elected we get no where. We never get to the top of the pile and that my friends is the problem. There really should not be individual parties just candidates and they should be elected by their history and experience . Not by the party lines

Anyone should be able to beat Hillary. The latest email deception, Benghazi and the fact that she hasn't accomplished anything as secretary of state has proven she is not qualified. That being said you will always have the uninformed voters who will pull the lever for anyone wearing a skirt.

Just as some will vote for the initial beside the name. Case in point .... Fla elected a world class thief and pathological liar as Governor, not once but unbelievably enough twice.

I thought Charlie Crist lost??

Ok, so Hillary / Bill collective character is not a big deal.

Does that mean you're ok with their behavior (eg the pedophile thing with Bill), or that you don't necessarily approve / condone their behavior but you like their polices so you feel like you need to support them politically?

Yes, it did bother me that W did that. But, he had a religious conversion and got on the wagon for which I give him credit.

Did it bother you that Bill Clinton used cocaine while in the White House?

Do you care that he is still (until recently) hanging out with known billionaire pedophiles so he can tap into the young teen girls?

I didn't know that Tan Charlie was in charge of a company to perpetrated the largest Medicare scam in history and had to take the 5th 75 times to weasel his way out of responsibility.

Wow! Someone is citing an MSNBC poll! This is the worst network ever? Even losing to the Clinton New network. When MSNBC polls their own viewers, of course they will say Trump. They will say anything the idiots on this network tells them to say. What a joke and losers....

Hillary will be our next President.

Use your username. It doesn't bother me. And I think everybody knows aiready.
