Democrats Are Headed for Disaster

[impuretrash]

Dimms, just a thought here.

Run a better candidate in 2020 and win the electoral college.

Stop trying to overturn 2016. Trump did not collude with Russia to steal the election. HILLARY LOST FAIR AND SQUARE. GET OVER IT.

Col. Anus, Trump still broke the law.

You guys tried to impeach Clinton over a FUCKING BLOW JOB 20 years ago.

Trump's collusion with Russia and Bribery of the Ukraine is a lot more serious than getting a blow job from an intern.

"You guys" threw Mike Flynn and Roger Stone in prison for lying under oath which is a heck of a lot more severe than what poor Bill got for the same crime.

n 2016 God heard our prayers and ran Hillary, and we know what happened. Trump won a convincing EC victory.

God ran out of Locust?

Look, guy, I know you are all in a cult now...

Locusts?? LOL!
The modern day "locusts" would happen if the dems win and have open borders.
Its not a Trump "cult", but its a "populist movement", meaning that Trump is doing what most of us would do if we were president.
Trump will win in a landslide, even 30% or so of black voters like Trump.

The democrats have their "cult", the "tax the rich and get free stuff" cult, free healthcare, free college, free income...even for illegal migrants!!

Flynn didn't even lie, he was entrapped. Stone is an old has been, I hope Mueller and the dems like that trophy head over their mantle.
We'll see who Barr, Huber, and Durham get to indict.

They actually lied about serious matters.... a lot more serious than getting a hummer from a fat intern.

Which just shows why most of us should be president.

Tell you what, next time you travel by air, instead of getting on the plane with the pilot with thousands of flying hours, you should get on the plane with the guy who would do what you'd do if you were in the cockpit!

"Cool... Barrell rolls... why is the ground approaching so fast?"

I almost agree with you. I thought that Trump's learning curve would be a lot steeper. His ego keeps him from being a better president. He would rather lie to protect his image than to fess-up that he made a mistake, apologize for it, and win more voters.

That said, we pulled the pin and sent Trump to DC to "drain the swamp". The establishment of both parties were tools of K-street, giving tax breaks to move factories overseas, building China up to be a world power with world class military and economic power. The US had horrible trade deals with everyone, where they had tariffs on us, and we didn't have tariffs on them. DC had become a big castle with a big moat that didn't care about the people outside the castle. Trump changed that.

Your analogy about flying a plane isn't accurate. Trump knew all too well how DC worked. Trump had been paying of pols for decades to get the loop-holes he wanted passed into law. But instead of paying off pols to do his bidding, he ran for office.

I'll also reply that the democrats better fit the "zero experience" pilot analogy. Steering for a socialist society is uncharted territory. Assuming that Bloomberg and Biden are too old to get the nomination.

Trump is 73 years old... Septuagenarians don't have a "learning curve". What keeps him from being a better president is his various mental illnesses... The first two years of his presidency is that he had grownups keeping him in check. Not so much anymore.

Here's where you are a little deluded... you blame CHINA for what big corporations did to the Working Class. The problem wasn't the trade deal, it was that some white guys in corner offices decided that a Chinese will worker harder than you for less money, making up the cost of tariffs and transport. TRUMP IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!! It's why all his products were made in China, even his MAGA Hats... Man, you guys are dumb.

Trump doesn't get how Washington works at all.

Guy, we already have more socialism than you want to admit, and it works just fine. Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, Veteran's Benefits, Housing programs you probably used to buy your house with... Maybe you need to read up on what America was like before FDR. It kind of sucked for most people.

1. Don't think about playing the "age card". At 73 Trump is a kid compared to Biden, Bernie and Bloomberg. Every day at pressers Trump demonstrates competency. You may not like his answers, but he is still sharp.
2. I'm not deluded at all. I moved many factories overseas when US union demands got to be outrageous and the factories became unprofitable. I'm hoping that US workers learned how fast jobs can be outsourced. The guys who are dumb are the ones that think money grows on trees.
3. Trump now sees that Washington doesn't work at all. When Ryan and the GOP had control of the House, they couldn't get things done. Now that the dems have the House, they still can't agree on anything.

How do you think Washington "works"? I'm not seeing it.

No brainlet, Clinton was not impeached for a blow job. He was impeached for lying to a federal grand jury.

Nice try.

Nobody believes you had the authority to move a hot dog stand.

2. Ok, reality and economics 101 isn't your cup of tea, I understand.
3. Pelosi can pass 1,000 bills, if McConnell doesn't like them they can rot. Maybe Pelosi, McConnell and Trump should see what they can agree on before writing Bills?

 

[Terri4Trump]

Obama is right. These folks are right.

Oh please God let Warren or Sanders run against the Trumpinator!

Trump will win, no problemo. What we really need is a take-back of the House

 

[CWayne]

Left to their own devices the democrats always pick someone who is unelectable.
Obama was very lucky, after chimp and chump and the financial crisis the democrats had a win-win election.
The GOP, thanks to the asshole of the century named Dick Army, couldn't resist the "deregulation" of banks, which led to the crisis.

I'm not happy about the $23T in Debt that Trump and the GOP are growing at an alarming rate.
But compared to the democrats' insane socialist policies the Debt can be managed.
I recommend another "Grace Commission" to get the Federal finances in order.

What has Trump and the GOP 'spent' to grow the debt?

Looting the Treasury for tax cuts grows the debt and any 9th grader who passes an Economics course knows this. When the economy is going well as ours has for the last 9 years, a responsible adult would want to start paying down the debt.

Anyone with two brain cells understands that it is spending the grows the debt, not tax cuts.

Why? The GOP doesn't have the spine to rule well, so it really doesn't matter if they get the house or not. They had it the first two years of Trump's presidency and did nothing.

 

[Terri4Trump]

Why? The GOP doesn't have the spine to rule well.......

Better a GOP that does not work as good as it should than socialist pigs who will mutilate the economy.

Is it? The person who knows evil but does nothing is worse than the person who does not see evil and does nothing.

They know the proper way to govern but chose to cower in fear because they want to be re-elected rather than do the right thing.

At this point, they are no better than the do-nothing Democrats.
