If it's standard politics, the others are not meeting the standard.
How so? It's a year out, candidates are saying things about each other, they are promising things, blah, blah, blah.
Trump is promising a wall....Carson wants a double wall....politicians have been promising to build a wall for decades. They have promised to build a wall EVERY TIME they want something but tell us 1ST you have to agree with what 'I' want, and it never gets done. As long as Special Interest Groups line the pockets of politicians and keep them from voting for it, it will never get done. The ONLY way either of these guys would stand a chance in getting a wall built is if they used the precedence set by Obama and issue an Executive Order in the name of National Security to get it done.
- It ain't going to happen, but most people are caught up in the emotion and promise of 'a new guy'.
I can GUARANTEE that NONE of these guys - NONE of them - have the FULL story of what is going on regarding foreign policy, the military, terrorism...but they will once they get in...so until then anything they say is based on a limited knowledge base. Take what they're saying with a grain of salt.
Congress is still divided because of a bunch of ideological, self/party-serving assholes are still in charge, still fighting each other to do what is in THEIR and THEIR PARTY'S best interests, STILL ignore the Constitution, STILL ignore the Rule of Law, STILL refuse to work together, and the Middle Class and country are STILL getting kicked in the privates while these spoiled, millionaire traitors bicker. Until the vast majority of them are booted from office no new President is going to be able to do anything...UNLESS they have 'cahonies' to do what Obama has done, which is to say 'F* the Constitution, F* the Law, F* Congress - I'm doing it myself.
(Mark my words, IF a Republican wins the Presidency and tries to do that, all the Liberals jackasses that have been fine with Obama doing it will be screaming for Impeachment!)
