Always about race and victims with you candy assesThey ignore reality at every turn. It was only the right that was surprised when Mitt lost. Their bubble keeps them thinking the rest of America is exactly like their own circle of like minded friends. Make America White Again! lol

Dukakis was up 17 on Bush after the conventions in 88.That poll has Hillary by 13%. There hasn't been a margin that big since Reagan beat Mondale in 1984. It'll be interesting to see whether that holds up.
I think people will talk about this election for a long time to come now matter how it all unfolds. We're in the midst of big events.
Although I think the election is Clinton's to lose, polls are meaningless until the conventions are over.
Absolutely, just throwing that recent one out there. Hillary and Trump haven't really even begun to go at each other yet, there's much ugliness to come.Although I think the election is Clinton's to lose, polls are meaningless until the conventions are over.
And we shouldn't underestimate Trump's ability to garner nearly 100% of the Stockholm Syndrome vote and no-self-respect vote.Absolutely, just throwing that recent one out there. Hillary and Trump haven't really even begun to go at each other yet, there's much ugliness to come.
Make America poor! Make America dependent on food stamps. Make America dependent on govt assistance
That's been my question/thought - there are a lot of people and it seems like more than ever - that want to see change...Hillary isn't going to change much and Trump can't follow through on his promises - so then what happens?All of that has happened just in the last 8 years ... everything is booming when the GOP controls the white house and everything goes to **** when a Dem is in there. Does that about sum it up?
People don't recognize that the two parties are just different sides of the same coin. Be honest, are things REALLY that much different based on who is controlling things? If none of us ever followed politics at all, how many of us would say "wow, things have been really really different the last few years, wonder what's changed"?
There have always been poor people in America and there always will be, nobody we elect for POTUS is ever going to change that. There are always going to people dependent on government assistance ... something else that's never going to change. It doesn't get worse or better based on which party is in the white house.
With your experience and education you should understand that there are no easy answers for complex problems. We should all be wary of anybody that thinks there are.

It always tightens at the end. I think that to underestimate trump is a mistake. He's been more than impressive.Absolutely, just throwing that recent one out there. Hillary and Trump haven't really even begun to go at each other yet, there's much ugliness to come.
I agree and there's a long time between now and November. Having said that, Hillary's lead over Trump has been significant and unwavering since the onset.Although I think the election is Clinton's to lose, polls are meaningless until the conventions are over.

It was tongue in cheek in response to the article. Is there a difference between the parties? Yes, there is. One party believes that govt is the answer, the other doesn't. The problem is, we have probably gone down the road too far to stop our decline. By decline, I mean our own responsibility to fix things ourselves and not look to somebody else to solve them for us. The American people keep wanting more free stuff and sooner or later, we are going to run out of money. Your premise that there are always going to be poor people is correct and no amount of govt assistance will change that. However, there was 23 mill people on average on food stamps before Obama, now there 45 million. There's no reason for it other than trying to get more people to accept it and not want to think they shold work for it.
You made some good points.....however you left out several others.I realize your statement was TIC.
There absolutely is another reason for it.
It could be because hundreds of thousands of jobs PER MONTH were being lost in the months leading up to and into the beginning of Obama's term. There isn't any policy or philosophy that he has pushed that is enticing people to live this way. Lots and lots of good jobs were lost during the crash and they didn't come back.
There must be some cognitive dissonance in your reasoning. On the one hand you say that there's no reason for it other than people just choose to be lazy ... but then in another train of thought you say how the unemployment numbers are fudged because they don't take into account the people that have left the workforce because they couldn't find jobs. So, are the jobs there and people just don't want them, or are the jobs not there? You're going to have to give on one side of that argument or the other.
It's interesting to me that you say that the big difference is that one party believes govt is the answer and the other doesn't. Are you really sure about that? That's not the way it is from the way I see it. It is basically like everything else. One side supports these billionaires and the other supports another set of billionaires. One side wants the government to be in your life in one way and the other party wants the government to be in your life in a different way.
GOP wants to drug test welfare recipients, Dems don't.
GOP wants larger military, Dems don't.
GOP wants to tell women what they can do with their body, Dems don't.
GOP wants to monitor all of our communications, Dems don't.
Dems want to dictate what energy sources we use, GOP doesn't.
Dems want to expand entitlement programs, GOP doesn't.
Dems want to tax and control businesses and wall street, GOP doesn't.
It depends on where you're looking. But there are plenty of examples of where both sides want more government in our lives, not less .. it's just in different areas.
Again, two sides of the same coin.
Honestly, if you want a party that wants to get the government out of our business, you have to look at the Libertarian party. It's not either of the 2 main parties.

You made some good points.....however you left out several others.
- One party wants all people who work to pay some taxes....One party does not.
- One party wants the laws to be respected and enforced.....One party does not.
- One party wants all people treated equally regardless of politics....One party does not.
- One party wants the media to be non political....One party does not.
There is no doubt that things could change between now and November. But you simply can't compare Trump to the likes of Kennedy, Truman or FDR. People were swayed over time by them because those were phenomenal politicians.

Absolutely, an indictment would change everything. But without that, Trump has nobody on the ropes here.Huma and other aides interviewed multiple times, Hillary expected within weeks
That interview is all that has to happen, and the attack dog Trump has her on the ropes the rest of the campaign. Hence, Bernie as I said previously.

Are you related to Mountain Bill? or maybe you're just in a league of your own when it comes to wack job posting. It's probably the latter, congrats.You made some good points.....however you left out several others.

Umm -- you need to read the history of the Earned Income Credit. It was started by a Republican (Ford) and expanded by Reagan and both Bushes as well as Clinton and Obama.You made some good points.....however you left out several others.

That was probably a bad comment on part. I should stated it in a different way. It was meant to point to the mindset of some supporters of certain politicians. You also might want to think a little more about why I post some of what I do.......I hate hypocrites and I love to get them riled up.Umm -- you need to read the history of the Earned Income Credit.

Honestly, I think you've given several examples of exactly what my point was. Which is, both sides do the same ****, but to different segments of the country. Maybe that was your intention..
