I think the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that the Dems' standards are too high and the Repub's standards aren't high enough.

What do people see in TRUMP, the man, anyway?

I can understand people liking the Republicans:

Gerald Ford
Ronald Reagan
George Herbert Walker Bush
George W. Bush.

I'd like to hear why people like TRUMP so much.....I just don't get it.

I promise: I won't snap at somebody. I'm just curious.

From what I have gathered from the poor white rednecks back in Georgia they all basically think he's going to make America a rich country due to the fact he himself is rich (yeah a greedy rich guy will help the poor get rich too, dat logic...), and they praise him for wanting to punish the 'illegal immigrants', 'muslim terrorists', and 'black criminals'.

He is not politically correct.

It is not so much they think he is going to make things better as much as it is he upsets elite snobs that look down on them. In other words Schadenfreude. How else to account for the endless amount of videos making fun of Hillary was going to win predictions, shocked reactions to Hillary losing, etc.

There is a certain amount of since we're doomed to the deep state conspiracy anyways, there is nothing to lose might so we might as well destroy as much as we can, put as many roadblocks as we can, upset as many people as we can before the inevitable.

Frankly, many of us don't much like Trump the man. But we can separate the symbolism from the substance. Personally, if given the choice, I would much rather have Obama as a neighbor, but Trump as president. As neighbors, the Trump's would be far too noisy.

Hi! How could you not be lovin' this president?

Did you know under his administration we:

-Have a great economy!
-Are building a Space Force
-Are the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world
-Have the lowest rates of minority and female unemployment in decades
-Are receiving billions of $ in tariffs from China
-Have convinced North Korea to stop nuclear testing
-Are bolstering our military to Mighty again
-Are bringing back steel, auto, and other manufacturing jobs by the thousands
-Are protecting freedom of speech on college campuses
-Have annihilated ISIS
-Are trying to protect our borders
-Have put GOD back in our government
-Again, The Economy
-Are the envy of the world

Also, people love to throw around the word racist. But I have seen numerous examples of Trump NOT being a racist, and none of him being racist. I am pretty sick of that juvenile rhetoric. Plus he like NEVER takes a day off, he obviously loves his job, AND he doesn't take a salary!


Like Ann Coulter (via M Knowles) said, "When they call you a racist, you know you've won"

I’m not a Christian....so this God thing doesn’t apply to me.

There are many non-Christians who are decent people; most aren’t atheists like I am. The “religious right” is all about Christians—and no one else. They disregard people of other religions. The United States is not, officially, a Christian nation (I have not much animosity towards Christians, by the way.

Religion and Government must be strictly separate. That’s what the Founding Fathers wanted.

The economic recovery started under Obama.

Our military has been “mighty” for a long time. Trump has had nothing to do with that.

Obama was quite vigilant about protecting our borders, too. He wasn’t such a jerk about it as Trump is.

Protecting “freedom of speech”— for conservatives.

How much are these folks in manufacturing jobs being paid—especially if they are nonunion?

I know some military guys who despise Trump because he acts like such an expert on winning wars when the bastard actually weasled his way out of serving in Veitnam AND had the nerve to mock John McCain who was actually a POW in the Veitnam War.
